2-10 Home Buyers Warranty Reviews

They have sent some of the most incompetent contractors to my home I've ever seen. Not only were they incompetent, they all follow the same protocol of customer service when trying to reach their offices and send all calls to voicemail with no way to leave a message, and very lengthy on-hold music to purposely force you to hang up or go blind listening to the dreadful on-hold music. The warranty company and their contractors work together to ensure you get tired of trying to get the service you need. However, I refuse and they will finalize my request and provide me the service as I've been diligently paying my monthly service fees. Horrible experience continues!

When we purchased our home, we purchased 2-10 Home Warranty with Supreme Coverage. Confident that the issue would be resolved quickly due to the fact that air conditioning in Arizona is a NECESSITY OF LIFE during August, we submitted a claim to 2-10 that day, who immediately dispatched Aire to the Throne A/C and I received a message on my 2-10 portal stating I would be contacted within 48 hours, which I considered to be a ridiculous time frame for something so critical. I waited all day Monday, 07/31 for a call but did not receive one. After waiting until noon on Tuesday, 08/01 without a response, we contacted Aire to the Throne, who stated because it was a new contract, they had to "jump through hoops" before they would be able to service our air conditioner, and stated the first appointment they had available was between 8 and 10 on Wednesday 08/02.

Aire to the Throne responded at approximately 10:15 am on Wednesday 08/02. After a quick inspection, we were advised the compressor had failed and it would cost approximately $2200 to replace. We were also advised that before any work could be performed, the diagnosis would have to be submitted to 2-10 who would review it and decide if they would cover the cost. We were advised the diagnosis would be submitted by 12:00 pm that day, but even if the work was approved there would be no openings until at least next week. At approximately 12:15, we called 2-10 to get a status update (amazing how punctual you learn to become with such things when your choices are to be crammed in the spare bedroom at a siblings house or broil inside of your home). 2-10 advised they had not received a diagnosis and could do nothing.

Due to the fact that we had now been without air conditioning for 4 days and there did not seem to be any urgency at all to resolve the issue, I spent over $500 dollars purchasing (2) 12,000 BTU portable air conditioners, (1) 8,000 BTU portable air conditioner, and (1) 5,200 BTU portable air conditioner and installed them so that I was able to return to my home. Fortunately I was able to purchase them used or the cost would have been closer to $1000.

On 08/03/2017 at 11:00 am after still not hearing any response from 2-10 or Aire to the Throne, I attempted to contact 2-10. I went through their phone tree once and was disconnected as soon as I was finally transferred to an agent. I went through the phone tree again and spoke to a representative who advised they had still not received any diagnosis from Aire to the Throne. She stated she would submit a contractor relations form and request, but they still had 24 hours to respond. I voiced my dissatisfaction and was apologized to. I contacted newacunit.com and was quoted an out the door price of approximately $3800 for a completely new AC system including installation.

The bottom line is that I purchased the 2-10 contract with the expectation that I would be taken care of in the event of a critical system failure such as this one, but instead I have been left sweating. If I had known a crisis such as this one would be treated so secondhand and as such a low priority, I would have never purchased the contract. The money I spent on the contract (as well as the money I spent on portable AC units) would have been put to better use paying an independent contractor to fix the problem.

I expect 2-10 to resolve this issue timely. As I stated before I have a child due on 08/10 and will not tolerate the system to be out of order after that. If the system remains out of order I will pay out of my own pocket to have it fixed, after which I will educate the public through reviews posted to BBB, Ripoff Report, Yelp, Google Reviews, Facebook, and any other outlet available until I am certain that the financial loss 2-10 caused me has been reciprocated.

Why do I think if I were the president of 2-10 Warranty and my fridge went out that this would have been handled much differently. Kind of lets you know where you stand as a customer of 2-10 Warranty. Ever tried to live without your fridge for nearly 2 weeks in the summer in Phoenix? It's not fun! If and when someone shows up, you know what’s coming next..."we will submit the paperwork to 2-10 Warranty and wait for an approval. Then we will order parts and reschedule you etc etc". I see this dragging out for a month. It's not good folks!

I tried to get a hold of them Friday, Saturday and Sunday and I couldn't. They had their answering machine and it was still programmed for the 4th of July. The situation was getting worse. On Monday, I called another company and within an hour they had a service tech here. I called the previous company back about 11 o’ clock that morning and told them to cancel as I didn’t want any part of them anymore. They were coming over right away but I said to forget it. I’m reporting them to the Florida Association. They’re a scam artist if you ask me and I’m disappointed in 2-10 Warranty for recommending them in the first place. They should be able to check these companies out. If they’re not fit and with one complaint, they should be gotten rid of. They’re well aware that I put a complaint in with them. They called me and I’m still waiting from this refrigeration company to get my money back. I still haven’t gotten my $225 from them.

Today is Wednesday. The representative tried to explain to me that it was the fault of the service provider because he "must have used the wrong purchase order number." When I asked was the PO# what was needed because I personally spoke with the service provider and he said the part was not available, the rep proceeded to tell me that I was wrong because those are two different numbers. I guess me having an M.A. degree in supply chain management and being a logistician in military makes me a complete idiot... "Purchase Order Number", PO#... Yes I must be a damn idiot! I would not recommend anyone use this company AT ALL!!! They obviously know they're in the wrong because they reimbursed me the initial service fee $75, which means absolutely nothing because my house is still a good 94 degrees on any given day in the great state of North Carolina.

Because I'm so patient (being facetious) I will wait for them to actually do their job if possible and fix my air conditioning. Until then I will continue to blast them EVERYDAY, and report them to the Better Business Bureau. Them and the service provider they continue to use, Service Unlimited. Now I understand why it's so difficult to reach the corporate office. After reading over 20 negative reviews and dissatisfied customers, I understand why. 2-10 Homebuyers warranty is a DECEIVING, INEFFICIENT, INEFFECTIVE, UNRELIABLE, INADEQUATE, COMPANY... They're basically THIEVES!!!

He then asked for the $60 fee which I gave him and then asked for my email address to send me a receipt which I never received. On Friday past the other ac unit stopped working completely. Yesterday I took a ladder to see how badly the leak was affecting my house and quickly realized that the roof shingles and backboard are both in bad shape due to this issue. I keep calling and keep getting a runaround, this is in unacceptable. It's 94 degrees upstairs at 11 in the night at my house. I suffer with asthma and the hot air is harder to breathe in. The kids find it hard to sleep in their rooms even with a fan. I called tonight and got a lady who asked me to call the claims department in the morning. I'll try that then I'll update this tomorrow night and every night till it's resolved.

Original Review: July 31, 2017

When we purchased our home, our realty office suggested that we purchase a home warranty from 2-10 Warranty, which we did. The purchase was made in July 2016. On May 19, 2017, our air conditioning unit for our second floor blew warm air. So, we made a claim to 2-10. We received an email with our work order number, and the name of a contractor called Service Pro.

By June 1, we had received no contact from Service Pro. We sent an email to Service Pro questioning why we had not been contacted. On June 5, we contacted 2-10 to see why we had not received any communication. We were on the phone for 45 minutes, and told that they would contact Service Pro, that we would hear from them within 24-48 hours. On June 8, still no contact, called 2-10, who put me on hold, and stated they spoke with Service Pro who scheduled an appointment for June 12, between 1-4. On June 12, at 12:30, we received a call from Service Pro re-scheduling the appointment for the next morning. I alerted 2-10 as to this change. On June 13, we received a call that the appointment would be changed to sometime before 2. At 3, no one had arrived. I called Service Pro and received no answer, I left a message on their main number and a secondary number I found. I received no response.

I called again the next day, no response. On June 14, I called 2-10 and spoke with Teesha, this call lasted 30 minutes. I was told that we would be assigned another contractor. On June 16, I received an email telling me that Del Mar Va Air Conditioning would be contacting us. On June 20, after receiving no contact from Del Mar Va, I called, left a message and texted the company. I received a very quick response stating that they had never received any communication from 2-10 concerning our claim, and that they would not have accepted it anyway because they were over an hour from our home and would not have accepted the contract.

On June 20, I called 2-10, and spoke with Joshia (sp?), who stated that 2-10 would do a "hand search" in an attempt to locate another contractor in our area. My response from 2-10 was an email stating that we, the "homeowner" had "declined dispatch". I attempted to respond to this email but could not due to their system.

On June 28, I spoke with George, this call lasted 25 minutes. I asked to speak with a supervisor, but was told that no supervisors were available. George explained that we could contact an outside contractor, or they (2-10) would still attempt to find a contractor in our area. After George explained what was entailed with contacting an out of network contractor I demanded that I be put in contact with a supervisor. I spoke with Mary. After this conversation I thought we had some hope of having our air conditioning restored. Mary told me that we could call an outside contractor, who could then get approval for the work. Due to the fact that my husband and I are on fixed incomes, one of the reasons we purchased the warranty in the first place, I asked how this would be paid for. Mary told me that if the work was approved, 2-10 had a credit card number they could give the contractor so that the materials could be purchased.

Satisfied with this information, I began researching air conditioning contractors in our area. After several calls to companies declining due to the warranty situation, I finally located one. Meanwhile, in the beginning of July our original coverage was due to expire, so I renewed it online. On July 21, the contractor we located called 2-10 personally to speak with them to see what was needed from him to get approval for the work. He then called me back to tell me that 2-10 would be contacting me and that he would come out to determine what was needed to get our unit in working order. Upon examination of the unit, he determined that the unit could not be repaired, and would need to be replaced. This information was provided to 2-10 by the contractor, with an estimate for the work.

On July 27, we had not been contacted by 2-10, so another call was placed, this one lasting 47 minutes. First I spoke with Susan, who told me there was no record of our claim, however, after I provided the original work order number and the original date, she was able to locate the claim. She then informed me I needed to be transferred to Claims Management. I spoke with Melody. Who repeatedly placed me on "brief" holds "researching my claim". Finally I was told that the company could not proceed until they received a "breakdown of the work, a description of what the contractor was going to do, not the cost, but the job breakdown". Then, because of the cost, it would have to be reviewed by their "high cost claims, in Denver". Then she told me that we could pay the contractor up front, get the unit fixed and then "apply for reimbursement".

I told her about my conversation with Mary about the credit card. Again, put on hold. I was told she would have to research that information and get back to me. NOW, the clincher, after hanging up, I immediately call our contractor. I was told by our contractor that at 1:38 pm (this would have been during the time while I was on the phone with Susan, prior to being transferred to Melody), that Melody had called him and he gave her a detailed description of what work needed done, and why. So, Melody lied when she stated they needed this information! Another DELAY TACTIC?!?

Our contractor told me 2-10 would be contacting me. On July 31, I contacted 2-10, having received no call from them. I had to convince to call taker that I needed to speak to someone in Claims Management, this took about 10 minutes. I finally was transferred to Karl/Carl, who told me there was no record of someone speaking to our contractor on July 27!!!! He also told me that he did not need the break down of the job, but a detailed list of the items to be replaced and their cost. I asked if this could be emailed to 2-10, so that we would have a record of the list and that it was sent. I was told it would take 24-48 hours for someone to read, and it would be quicker if the contractor called. I told him I would have the contractor call as soon as I got off the phone and I would have someone witness this call so there would be no question.

I asked for an email address where I would send a detail of the hours I have spent trying to get this fixed. At this point he gave me "his" email address and informed me to send the complaint to him, then he would forward it to his supervisor. He then told me that our contractor could send an email directly to him with the detailed cost. I asked for the supervisor's email, but was told that if the supervisor received all the emails with complaints the supervisor's desk would be full. So after hearing that, it confirmed that we weren't the only ones to not be satisfied with 2-10.

Also, after googling the company, it only confirmed that the months between May and July 2017 there were A LOT of similar complaints to ours. So, we are still left without air conditioning! And, not sure when or if we will ever have it fixed. We can not afford to put out the upfront money, and as I stated before, that is one of the reasons we went with the warranty company. So, I'm beginning to question whether or not this company is legitimate or not? Is it a scam? Is it a front? Why are there so many people having the same experience or similar experience as we? I also suggest to all those who have complaints, contact your realtor who originally told you about 2-10, let them know what has occurred.

We will be, as well as the company who represented the sellers. Both companies are very large in our area, and are from two different states, Delaware and Maryland, so I will encourage them to pass on the information to their state realtor association. 2-10 advertises that having the homeowners warranty will give you the peace of mind that unforeseen pricey repairs will be covered and made if you purchase their warranty, well, you can't prove that by us.

Updated on 08/11/2017: Prior to reading this review, refer to a review that we did prior to this in August 2017. This deals with trying desperately to get an air conditioning unit fixed since May 19th 2017. Finally after posting on consumer affairs a review, we got a response from the company. On August 8th, a contractor of their choosing came to our home and inspected our air conditioning unit. Prior to this we had an independent contractor come and look at the unit. His advice was to replace the unit. His estimated cost was $5,400. 2-10 would only agree to pay $2,300. So we agreed to have their contractor come and look at the unit. On August 8th their contractor recharged our unit with freon.

Our contractor had advised us he could have also done that however it was putting a Band-Aid on the problem, not fixing it. Up until last evening the unit appeared to be working. As of today August 11th, that portion of the house is 84 degrees. We have guests coming for the weekend from England who are going to be sleeping in an 84 degree bedroom. Two weeks ago we had a marine on leave stay over, he also had to sleep in an 84 degree bedroom. If you have not subscribed to this company as of yet, don't do it. If you have a contract with them, you might want to look into it a little bit more before your air conditioning unit gives out. Also if we could rate our experience with this company with a zero star we would.

He went out and added another pound and then it felt a little colder. So he was basically guessing and didn't know how to properly recharge the system. My AC seemed to work okay for a few days and then I noticed my unit was running for hours and the temperature in my home wasn't going down at all. I called 2-10 and they put in a call to re-dispatch the contractor. The contractor never called me during several days, so I kept calling him. He finally came out and then said he thought the compressor needing replacing. 2-10 ordered a compressor, which took another week. The contractor came back on 7/5 to replace the compressor. After he installed it and charged the unit it didn't seem very cold coming out of the vents. I asked him again if he charged it fully. He said yes and if it wasn't working well he didn't know what to do to fix the unit and left.

I tried giving it a few days but on 7/8 I noticed no air was blowing out of my vents at all. The outside unit was still running so I went to check my indoor unit. The line coming from the evaporator coil was frozen, which is usually a sign of the system not being charged properly. From 7/10-7/13 I repeatedly called the contractor and left messages. He never called me back. I called 2-10 several times and he would not answer or return their call either. Finally on 7/13 2-10 assigned a different contractor to come out. I called him and he said he'd come out the next afternoon, 7/15. He never showed up or called me. I called him and asked what was going on and he said another job took longer than expected. He never apologized for not calling me. He said he had one guy who worked weekends and would be out on Saturday 7/16. I waited all day and no one showed up or called again.

On Monday 7/17 I was about to head out of the door and the contractor called, expecting me to drop everything so they could come out that morning. He told me if I didn't, he didn't know when they would be able to look at my unit. Since it had been a month and a half and I was sick of waiting, I took the day off work. The second contractor looked at everything and said the first guy put a R-410a compressor in my R-22 system, which compromised the system and would require replacing everything. 2-10 said they would not authorize the work until the first contractor came out and could verify what the second guy could say. They also wanted to send the inept first contractor to warranty his work which I did not want since he did not know what he was doing and could damage more things in my home. They said he had 3 days to respond to 2-10. He never called to come to my house and 2-10 said he had not contacted them.

On 7/20 someone in 2-10's contractor relations department called and said he had until the end of the day to respond or he would be held liable and they would figure out a resolution. I did not hear back from the same person from 2-10 until 7/25. He said the contractor never responded and they were still trying to figure out what to do. He tried giving me the contractor's insurance information. When I asked why, he could not explain it and I got the feeling they were trying to blame the contractor and make me sue him to get my unit fixed so they would not be liable. In less than an hour, someone else from 2-10 called me saying the contractor had been to my house (he never called me) and that he said the whole outside unit needed replacing. So he screwed up the unit and had me without AC for several more weeks and instead of admitting it and being held liable, he said the entire unit was broken so he can get paid to put it in.

It's been a week and the parts still aren't in. It has now been two months. I have a feeling it will be at least another week until the parts come in. I have no faith the contractor will install the unit properly and anticipate more problems in this long saga. 2-10 doesn't press these contractors to come out promptly or communicate well (I had to chase the contractors the whole time), makes you wait weeks for a part just to save a few bucks, and doesn't care that I've suffered in 90-110 degree weather for 2 months in Virginia. Save your money and hire your own contractors, this isn't worth the hassle, frustration, and suffering.

The morning of when the appointment was scheduled I got a phone call stating "after further review we won't be able to honor the claim." I did went back and read my contract and reached out to the company. 2-10 justification was that all the Freon could not have leaked out in that time frame. The vendor diagnostic on paper said that with the size of the hole they can't determine the time frame of leakage. The heater works fine during the winter time so no telling. I explain to the representative that I am in the middle of deploying on a military assignment and it will only be my wife and kids at the house.

It's going on a month and I have not heard back from 2-10. I am on my way out the door scrabbling trying to figure out how I will get this A/C fix. I thought the objective of having home warranty insurance is for situation like this. What really gets to me is the explanation for denial against what the professional A/C repair specialist diagnose.

7/14/17 Air Design tech came out and diagnosis this time was evaporator coil was bad and unit was low on refrigerant. Tech stated he would put in a request to 2-10 for the part and it would take about a week to get the part and then they would call to come back out to replace the part. 7/24/17 I had not heard from 2-10 or Air Design so I called 2-10 and sat on hold for 14 minutes. They stated they tried to call me on 7-17-17 to get approval for uncovered items. Yet I had no missed call or messages from them. The representative said the note says “voice mailbox was full.” My cell phone lets me know when my mailbox is full and I double checked it and it wasn’t. I asked him about the uncovered cost. He stated they totaled $518. He could only verbally tell me what they were for and could not provide documentation. I asked for documentation and he said he would have to transfer me to a different department.

He transferred me and I sat on hold for 9 minutes and then got hung up on. On 7-24-17 I had been without air for 11 days in July I might add. I called back one more time and again sat on hold for more than 15 minutes and got hung up on. I called back again and told the person to not transfer me unless they knew I was connected with an actual person. Once Barbara ** got on the phone I explained the whole situation to her and that I needed someone to email me a list of the uncovered cost. She agreed to do so. I asked her to stay on the phone until I received it and she did. I reviewed it and asked why modifications were needed and items to meet code. She said she really didn’t know. That only go off what the vendors submits to them. I question the cost especially the code items.

I called Gwinnett County, GA Building Inspection Section. I spoke with Chief Trades Inspector, Johnny **, who came out to my house on Tuesday 7-25-17 and inspected my a/c unit. He educated me on the system and stated Air Design should be able to get the exact same coil for the unit and no modification should be needed and that a drain pan and flow switch which they were asking to install were not needed as they were already installed, and this was a code since 1988 and the unit would have never passed inspection when house was built in 2012. I sent all this information to Barbara ** with pictures and copied Johnny ** on the email as he said I could in case 2-10 needed information. I received a response from Barbara ** at 2-10 stating she could no longer speak to me regarding the manner.

I then received a response from 2-10 by email stating that all communication regarding the manner would have to be done over the phone. (So there was no written documentation.) I called 2-10 at the number provided in the email 800-482-4776 because they said I would get a “more speedy resolution.” I spoke to Angela who gave me permission to go outside the network to get another company since it appeared Air Design was taking advantage of me. I spent the rest of the day researching A/C companies. 7/26/17 I contacted Absolute Comfort out of Winder. Alex was very professional. He did a leak test and determined I had a leak. I was completely out of refrigerant and the evaporator coil needed to be replaced. This was an expense to me of $134.00.

We called 2-10 like requested, and myself and Alex spoke to Chris. Alex gave Chris the diagnosis and what needed to be done which was replace the evaporator coil and add 6 lbs of refrigerant. Alex stated it would cost $2348.18 for Absolute Comfort to perform the job and Chris with 2-10 would only reimburse me $360.00. I later called 2-10 back and explained to a representative that I could not afford Absolute Comfort’s quote and I wanted them to send in a network company. I was assigned to A/C Mechanical. 7/27/17 At 8am I called Aaron with A/C Mechanical. I gave him the whole back story. He agreed that he did not need to come by and that he would call 2-10 to get the part ordered and get the ball rolling. He called me at 2:00pm EST and said he was on his way to my house like he had forgotten the whole conversation we had that morning.

Then I reminded him of the conversation and he said he was going to hand up and call 2-10 to get the part ordered. 7/28/17 I called Aaron with A/C Mechanical and asked him about the progress and he said he had ordered the part. I hung up with him and call 2-10 to verify and that confirmed that they had no record of him ordering anything. Measha put me on hold and called Aaron. She said he stated he tried to call so he lied to me. She transferred him to the purchasing department. Measha came back on the line with me and updated me and told me to call back in a couple of hours to confirm the part had been ordered. At 4:00pm I called 2-10 and was told Aaron had not ordered any parts and they were still waiting on a diagnosis from him. 2-10 has documentation from Air Design and Absolute Comfort what the diagnosis is.

Not sure why we need A/C Mechanical to come out and do a third leak test. The representative told me I had two options. She said I could take a cash out and hire my own company or wait for A/C Mechanical to provide the information needed. I told the representative that I had been given a cash offer of $360.00 which comes nowhere close the $2300 + it would cost out of network. She stated she did not think that was the correct quote, put me on hold to confirm. When she came back on the line she stated the quote was incorrect but could not verify because she couldn’t get a correct price for the coil. So I asked her how do you know it is incorrect if you can’t get the correct price?

Every conversation with 2-10 is a contradiction from the previous. I am not sure what the hell I have paid for!! And do not respond to this with we have escalated this matter up to our leadership. I have been apologized to so many times and have been told this matter has been escalated up to leadership to take care of, yet no one calls me and cannot correspond by email, because they don’t want what they say on record. Meanwhile it is Friday 7/28 and I have been without air for 15 days and nothing will happen between now and Monday so that will be 18 days! 2-10 is by far the worst warranty company, has the worst procedures and has zero customer service.

Finally, a week after the aircon failed, the techs (2) replaced my high-end thermostat with a cheap model. 2-10 says they will not replace my failed thermostat with the correct one as the basic function is the same as the old one (it sets the temperature). Customer service (after another hour on hold) says that they do not cover "energy management" functions, however when I list the functions of my old thermostat, there are several that the el cheapo thermostat doesn't provided that my old one did that have nothing to do with "energy management". Eventually they agreed and told me they would contact the tech and get the unit replaced. They will get back to me within 15 minutes with an update of when the problem will be resolved. 24 hours later, I am still waiting.

I contact 2-10 again. They send another one of their contractor. This time I told the contractor nothing about the diagnosis I had learned from the 3rd party contractor. This contractor comes to the same conclusion that the TXV needs to be replaced. The 2-10 contractor says he will order the part and get it fixed for us. Fast forward 4 days later, we heard nothing from the contractor. We contact the 2-10 contractor for an update. He says he placed a request to 2-10 but has heard nothing from 2-10. Strange indeed. So I call 2-10 and they said they would contact the contractor. I proposed that we do a conference call. Now I'm on the phone with the contractor and 2-10. Now their contractor who supposedly said he can fix this says, he couldn't anymore because this is UNICO. Seriously? This guy literally told me he could fix it earlier. 2-10 says, "No problem. We will find someone else."

At this point, we contacted 2 additional contractors of 2-10 who say they can't repair this. You have got to be kidding me. I ask 2-10 to allow the 3rd party contractor to resolve this issue. They REFUSE. Finally they give the okay but call me later and say they found someone who can fix it next week. I agree with their contractor. Now I received a call from the 2-10 contractor that he was contacted by 2-10 to do a DIAGNOSIS. Essentially GET A 2ND OPINION. And that he will not repair anything.

I am frustrated with 2-10. We have already had the diagnosis TWICE confirmed independently. I see now that 2-10 try as hard as possible to DELAY/AVOID repair. Keep in mind that each time a contractor is sent to my home I have to pay $100. ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS! What's the point of home warranty if they avoid to fix anything at all. Shake my head...

On 7/6 a technician came out and explained it needed an Evap Coil and it was empty of freon. Two weeks later I call 4x to follow up with both the HVAC company & 2-10. Only to get absolutely nowhere. They explained the repairs needed are pre-existing? I'm not really sure how this is possible when the AC was in working order during the home inspection & TWO walkthroughs! Sent the home inspection (with pics) and the walkthrough documentation to them. Still denied it, claiming it's pre-existing and they aren't covering it.

So why? Why purchase a home warranty at all if nothing is covered? Now I'm also out $100 for a service call and my kids have been sleeping on couches for almost a month now so that they can be on the level that still has a working unit! Now we are going to have to pay out of pocket to have it fixed. Would have been nice to know you know, 3 weeks ago! It's currently 91* in my upstairs, when it's only 70 outside right now. Ridiculous! If I could give them zero stars I would. If you're thinking about buying a warranty through them, DON'T!!!

I tend to submit a claim online but that process has become cumbersome. I've ultimately had to pick up the phone and speak with the person to submit a claim. Every now and then I would run across a rep that seems to really care and they really try to make things happen. But otherwise, it's almost like they're reading from a script. When you would want to speak to a supervisor, the supervisor would seem to be unsympathetic to your cause as well. For example, I just had my air conditioning system repaired by them this Monday but I've been without air for two weeks in Tennessee in a 98-degree temperature and it was 91 degrees upstairs in my house.

A guy was telling me about the process and I told him I didn't want to hear about it. The process dictated that they send this thing to review this and that. But it's in the middle of July and my son and I were burning up. One of the ladies at 2-10, Rachel attempted to expedite the process and she got the contractor on the phone. She had me put the contractor on the phone and she attempted to give them the verbal okay 'cause I was going to go another weekend without it if she didn't. She did all she could do, but apparently, once they got into the 2-10 system, nothing happened. I called back and the guy on the phone said it had to undergo a review, which hasn't been completed yet and that was the process, even though it was obvious from the contractor what the issue was and the contractor had told 2-10 what the issue was.

I would just like for 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty to be more responsive to individual needs, but it's all about the process with them. I understand that every company has to have process 'cause I worked for a Fortune 100 company myself but I made exceptions every day in desperate situations. However, 2-10 reps lack compassion for listening to their customers on what their needs are. As a matter of fact, I've looked at switching warranty companies a couple of times. But I've read reviews and talked to some other people that have some of the other warranty companies and based on some of the feedback I got, it seems like they're all kind of the same.

Some of the contractors that 2-10 sent were extremely shabby as well. It's been my experience that the majority of the contractor that are under the contract with 2-10 are not very good companies. The contractors that they've sent out had to come back repeatedly to fix the problem that they initially came out for. But this last company I worked with and got my air conditioner repaired last Monday wasn't. They were a very good company and they were very professional. When they said they're going to be there, they were there, and they actually made the repairs.

This guy came out, diagnosed it and told me what the problem was. As soon as 2-10 gave them the approval to pick up the part, the guy called me. He told me when he was going to pick up the part, what time or day it was going to be there and he filed it to the letter. Even though it took two weeks for me to work with the red tape of 2-10, my interaction with the contractor on this last problem was fantastic.

It is clear we have been given band aid solutions without regard for getting complete work done at once. The agent (and floor supervisor) on the phone today told me they had to keep their costs down by using this process and not expediting anything. And, although their contractor has been at fault, they are defaulting to my manufacturer's warranty and citing 3-5 days to "process" my order. I would have understood if this had not been going on for 6 weeks OR if it had not been caused due to the poor work from one of their contractors. There is no apparent commitment to protecting the consumer (the paying customer!).

Being July in Tennessee, all in network contractors had 1-2 week wait before a tech could come visit for a diagnosis. I PAID OUT OF POCKET For the diagnosis, per my contract. My local 2-10 rep advised me to be clear with 2-10 claims service that this was an emergency situation. I spoke with a very helpful, reassuring 2-10 rep that evening, she assured me repeatedly that all labor and parts would be covered in full "up to the cost of a new unit" because I had the Supreme Plan. I was surprised and repeatedly asked her if she was sure that it was 100% covered because we were going out of network. She said yes, because this was considered an emergency, and no in network contractors were available. I was so relieved and pleased. She told me to have the contractor send them the diagnostic and repair estimate first thing Monday morning and they would approve.

I sweated it out in my 95 degree house, confident this would be repaired Monday (July 24). Monday morning I received a rambling, convoluted voicemail from 2-10 rep named Erica, stating they would send me a check for $369 and we would be responsible for the remaining $940 the contractor was charging. This alarmed me since it was the complete opposite of what the previous rep had told me.

I immediately tried to call 2-10 claims service. I remained on hold from 10am until 4pm!!! No one ever picked up the phone until rep Kayla at 4pm. I recounted the entire episode to her. She said claims department was "overloaded" and I should call back tomorrow. I said no, this could not wait and could I speak to her supervisor. She put me on hold twice and said she was looking around on the floor for her supervisor and could not find her. She then told me that she was looking at my claim and account on her computer and that Erica had put a note in my file stating that her computer system had crashed and she had lost all my claim, contractor, diagnostic, and repair information. Why was I never contacted to be told that all my information was lost due to this supposed computer crash? Kayla did not know why. I asked again to speak to her supervisor.

After several more delays and excuses, she said they would call the contractor to get all the "lost" info AGAIN and that a supervisor would call me within the hour. 1.5 hours later, I received a phone call from a male supervisor. He apologized for my wait and my inconvenience and said they had talked to the contractor and had approved paying the full $1309 for the repair. I asked him if I needed to pay for the repairs, and then receive a reimbursement check from 2-10? He said "No, we will tell the contractor to bill us directly."

This morning, (July 25) the contractor (R&M Climate Control) told my husband that they had received repair approval from 2-10 but no directions on how to handle billing for the full amount of $1309. My husband called 2-10 and told the customer rep the repairman was coming and to please call R & M and tell them how to handle billing. She stated she need the "phone number of the supervisor to prove to corporate that the full amount had been approved" even though we were told the approval was in our file notes. He gave her the 1800 775-4736 number the call came from, and the time of the supervisor call (5:51pm). This afternoon the contractor showed up, did the repair, and I had to put the $1309 on my credit card because no one from 2-10 ever contacted them about billing.

Several hours after the repair man had left my husband finally got through to a customer service rep at 2-10. She asked him to send her the original diagnostic and the receipt for what we had paid for. He asked her why he needed to send the original diagnostic since they received it days before. She confirmed with him that she did have it in our file but that she wanted again. He emailed the receipts to the address she provided: aphome@2-10.com and asked for a confirmation email response but has received none.

I believe that 2-10 has been extremely delinquent in handling our paperwork and claim file. I believe that we will never receive an email or phone call from them regarding this matter, and tomorrow will have to constantly call and sit on hold and hope to get a competent representative on the phone. This company's behavior and dialogue has been highly unethical and misleading. Their Extremely poor interdepartmental communication is highlighted by their severely undertrained employees. Their mishandling of our claim paperwork was time consuming, unprofessional, and grossly incompetent. 2-10 Homeowners Warranty put myself and my unborn child's health at risk, all while dodging responsibility and accountability in making what was a horrific situation many times worse.

July 19 early morning blower won't shut off, air not cool, temp in house rising. Service request submitted. Response from 2-10 that contractor had 48 hours to respond to set an appointment. No contact as of Friday 21st end of day. Monday 24th no contact by afternoon. I called contractor left voicemail. He did call me right back said he could possibly make it by later that day or first thing Tuesday 25th. As of 3:19 pm today the 25th, no call. No show.

In the past week there were only 2 days when the temp did not exceed 90 degrees. 3 days the heat index was over 100. I am 60 years old and on disability. I can't afford to check into a hotel. I have pets I cannot leave locked in this oven. To say the heat has made me sick is an understatement. The stress as well. Monday, in anticipation the contractor would be here by today I contacted 2-10 with concerns that if once again no leaks or mechanical failures are found but will cool if charged again if the warranty company will consider this resolved or see it as I do a temporary fix designed (to keep the unit working until my warranty expires in 3 months).

After patiently rewording the question 4 times and stating emphatically I would stop the contractor from charging the unit, if no leaks or malfunctions were found, and call back to verify if the company will continue to seek a permanent fix rather than a temporary. Elena finally suggested if this occurs to not have the unit charged, submit a new service request for a second opinion. Which confirmed my suspicions that recharging the unit would be the end of it. Which likely means I would be without cool air for at least a month if prior experience is any indication. Or accept the temporary fix and endure this hell again in a couple of months.

A reputable company, concerned about their customers might have committed to allowing the unit to be charged while waiting to schedule a second opinion and any subsequent repair or replacement time. But of course this is all conjecture because no one has actually responded to my request for service as yet. But I have plenty of time to imagine scenarios in my head since I just canceled plans to attend an out of town wedding and canceled plane tickets and hotel accommodations for a week in FL, a gift from my cousin because I can't figure out how or when this will be resolved. I was already packed, since I was to leave in 2 days. Someone needs to repair my AC unit, permanently, not temporarily or replace it before my head explodes. Please. Thank you.

Original Review: July 24, 2017

I renewed my 2-10 Home Warranty online two months ago. Yesterday I attempted to place a service call on my electric range and was told it was not covered under the warranty I chose. I will enclose the screen shots showing the coverage (including optional coverages) that I purchased. I have spoken to customer service and they say there is nothing they can do, in fact, they stated that the internet site is very confusing and recommended always calling and talking to someone to make sure the coverage is what you think it is... Look for yourself, based on these pictures is there anything that would indicate that my oven is not covered?

Needless to say, I (stupidly) trusted 2-10 and found out TWO WEEKS LATER that the part had never been ordered after the technician submitted the request. After some frustrating phone calls, the part was correctly ordered and arrived within a week. All the while, my house is 80-89 degrees INSIDE. The technician installed it and two days later, my air conditioning was blowing HOT air into my house again. I called 2-10 again to have the same man come out and say it was the condenser this time. He replaced it and left. Two days later, my house got up to 90 degrees (INSIDE) because it was blowing hot air again. I called yet again, the same technician came out and said that a coil had gone bad. He changed it and left. At this point, I started to get annoyed when my house was again reading 88 two days later. At this point, it's mid-June and Virginia is having 90-degree days on a daily basis.

I called 2-10 and requested that a new company be sent out to get a second opinion. They sent a lovely gentleman from Service Mechanical of Tidewater that immediately told me that I was doomed from the beginning with a terribly refurbished unit. He suggested warrantying the unit. He sent his diagnosis in the next day and I reached out to 2-10 to see what the next step would be. It was then that I was told that the man from the first company was the one who installed the refurbished unit! After that shock wore off, I was happy to hear that 2-10 would be ordering a new unit. They said it would take 7-10 business days to arrive in my area. I agreed to pay the non-covered costs of $250 (this is after having paid $100 in "service fees" to each company). This all took place on July 7th. Again, I stupidly trusted that 2-10 would take his diagnosis and my approval and take the appropriate action of ordering a new unit. Silly me.

After not hearing anything from anyone, 10 business days later, I called on Friday, July 21st and was "shocked" to find that 2-10 had not ordered anything. I am currently passing the time while on hold (for an hour and 18 minutes as I type this) and started by speaking to Michael who transferred me to Sam in Claims Management who transferred me to Erica in Purchasing. This entire process has been a complete NIGHTMARE. I rarely leave reviews but felt the need to write this one in case anyone reads it who is considering starting an agreement with this company. Do yourself a favor and DON'T.

I spoke to Caleb on June 11, Veronica on June 22, Capria on June 27, Chris on June 29, Alesia on June 30, Mark on July 7, Marquita on July 21, Chris on July 21, and Michael, Sam, and Erica today. They all sound the exact same and are obviously reading from a script that is not designed to help any customer. This is honestly the WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. Not to mention the most mind-numbingly painful 30-second loop of hold music. Erica assured me that my brand new unit will be arriving within 3-5 business days. You'll have to excuse me for saying that I'll believe it when I see it. The only thing I've gotten from 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty is a consistently hot house and trust issues.

A total of two weeks went by without a properly working a.c. and the company leaves a message stating that this is a pre-existing condition. If that was the case then why did they send someone out in the first place. I had to pay out of pocket and my family and I suffered while the people in high dollar claims Sat in their a.c. debating whether or not I should be reimbursed. On my experience, this company has limited resources, quality of service is poor, and will most definitely not be recommended to others within my circle. I will be transferring warranty companies in the near future.

We have an air conditioner and the compressor was outside and it went whacko. They said it will cost extra to dispose of the Freon because they had to let it out and it's the normal thing to do. They put a plastic milk bottle on the ground and put a hose to it. All the Freon they let out went in the hose and went out into the atmosphere. I told them, “Well, I'm not going to pay you $100 to do that.” They called it off and the boss of the service contractor said, “Yeah. Of course, you don’t have to pay the $100.” That’s what they did for a living and I was upset with that.

I told the 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty company and then I called the EPA but the government and the EPA didn’t care. The contractors were not supposed to let Freon go in the atmosphere and that’s exactly what they did. But other than that it was an excellent experience and those guys fixed the air conditioner. They do good repairs that are professionally done.

The leak was external so turning off the water in the house did not stop it. I waited about 2 hours before I lost patience and called a local plumber referred to me. Over the phone he told me how to turn the water off from the street and he then came out, found the line break, dug up the pipe, fixed it and refilled the hole. I then had Servpro come out and start the drying process which went on for 5 days. The plumbing contractor assigned by 2-10 to my emergency called me on the Thursday (7/6) to schedule an appointment. Got the renewal offer from 2-10 today which prompted this review. Needless to say I am not taking up the offer.

Then in June my AC unit went out. I called and they sent someone out who showed up in a cut off shirt and flip flops. He insisted I had a leak and my coils were dirty. I had to pay $100 service fee. He also said he would not put more refrigerant in the unit until I had the coils clean and guess what? That was also $100 and wouldn't be covered by the Warranty. I expected him to take the cover off and spray the coils with foam cleaner. But no he just grabbed my water hose and washed it off and made a quick $100. He also said that the Warranty company would not pay for a leak test until the second time he came and put refrigerant in it. (Makes no sense to me). This "fix" lasted about a month.

When it went out again I call 2-10 and was told they would send the same person out. I requested someone new. They gave me the number to call and the contractor said that since it was the weekend it would be $150 and a 20% fee on everything repaired that I would have to pay for even if covered under warranty. I said no thanks and to come Monday. I never got a call or call back for the contractor.

Now 2 weeks later I call 2-10 and they tell me that they have no contractors and will call to find me someone but it would be 24-72 hours. And then 24-72 hours before they come back out. I will call my realtor to make sure he doesn't recommend this Warranty again. It is a complete waste of money and I have now been 3 weeks without air in South Carolina were it gets 100 degrees. A complete scam.

Obviously there is one because this is the second time in 6 months that we have had to put Freon in it. Contractor stated that the bearings in the squirrel cage messed up, causing it to go off balance and make the noise, also messing up the squirrel case which eventually caused the motor for the blower to seize. So, he would have to put in a request to order the parts. Today was Friday, after lunch and him and his wife had plans for the evening but he would get the request in. So, we waited, with it hot as everything in our house... and waited. 7/13 my husband calls the contractor and was told the parts were being ordered, but they could not find the parts that were needed. Then he got a call saying the parts were approved to be ordered. 7/14 - The contractor says parts were ordered. 7/15 - nothing from contractor. 7/16 - nothing from contractor. 7/17 - nothing from contractor.

7/17 - 10:21 am I called 2-10 warranty and was on hold until 10:34 am, spoke to Sabrina, she contacted contractor to see if they are ordering the parts or not because it was not showing up on her system. Since our unit is a Trane, the parts have to come from manufacturer, can't use generic parts (which generic isn't always good in the first place because we pay a fortune for this warranty anyway), she said she would try to see if she could get this pushed through since it has been such a long time, contractor said the squirrel cage they originally tried to order was sold by the time 2-10 authorized approval to purchase, so they had to go through another manufacturer and it was going to cost more and had to file another claim, with an additional $20.00 for expedited/overnight shipping. Sabrina transferred the contractor over to claims so they could go ahead and approve the additional cost of the parts and shipping.

We should be on the schedule for this week, maybe tomorrow. 7/17 - 3:34 pm I called the contractor to make sure the part was ordered, Sara stated she was still waiting for the parts to be ordered and would contact me as soon as they were. Said she sent ??? to the person who is responsible for ordering the parts, whatever that means. 7/18 - 2:30 pm I called contractor again, was told the parts were ordered on 7/17, but did not show that it was expedited/overnighted even though I argued that 2-10 paid additional for them to do so. She said it was not in the records that occurred. They said they never even received approval from 2-10 to order the parts until I had called them the day before and they were transferred to claims. As soon as part comes in from manufacturer they will schedule to come out.

She couldn't even tell me which manufacturer it was coming from because I asked how long it would take for the part to come in since it was not expedited/overnighted. 7/19 - 5:27 pm I called 2-10 again and spoke to Melissa in the customer service department, couldn't understand what she was saying half the time, like she had food in her mouth, she transferred me to Susie in purchasing department since it was in reference to a part being ordered? Susie tells me they authorized expedited/overnight shipping on the 17th, she was reaching out to the contractor to find out what was going on because they did pay that additional money to them to have it expedited/ overnighted so we did not have to continue to wait so long.

Susie tried calling the contractor 3 times with no answer, left a detailed message about how they authorized the expedited/overnight shipping of the part, needed to know estimated time of arrival and she also sent out an email to the contractor as well as a department within 2-10 that deals with the contractors to follow up on. Said I should hear from contractor the next day or from 2-10. 7/20 - I heard nothing from contractor or 2-10 warranty. 7/21 - 3:18 pm, it is now Friday, it has been well over two weeks, temps in my house has been almost 100, my daughter has been out of camp that I have to pay for if she is there or not because she is getting headaches and sick from heat exhaustion, we have had to eat out every single day for two weeks because we can't cook in our house or it gets even hotter, our upstairs unit is taking the brunt of this and now it is acting up, but do I dare call and ask for another service request?

This is putting strain on that unit. So, I call at 2-10 again, at 3:27 pm Marlene (I think, I couldn't understand her between the food in her mouth and her yawning) in customer service, tells me the part was supposed to be expedited/overnighted on 17th, put me on hold to call the contractor, 3 times, no answer from the contractor. I asked for a supervisor. This can not continue over the weekend! It is supposed to get to 100 this weekend. She gets back on the phone and tells me she spoke to her supervisor and since I had been dealing with purchasing, I had to speak to a purchasing supervisor. I asked her what department she was in, the part was already purchased, she already told me that. She is in customer service, she is the one who should be dealing with the customer service issue! So said she would get me her supervisor but he would tell me the same thing she just told me.

I told her to just transfer me to some one who could get something done about all of this. After being on hold from 3:47 to 4:01 She gets back on the phone and says that she called purchasing while she had me on hold. The contractor has not sent email saying they have even ordered the parts! But, she just told me the part was ordered. Still didn't get me a supervisor. She tried to call the contractor again at 4:02, still no answer. AT 4:05 she put me on hold to transfer me to claims because I said I needed to speak to someone who could authorize me to go purchase a window unit or something because this is unreal. By this time I am almost in tears. I keep getting the run around. Chrissa answers at 4:08 pm and put me on hold after I broke it all down to her, yet one more time, to call the contractor again, still no answer so she left another message and sent an email as well.

So, by this time, the contractor has three voice mail messaged and three emails out to them just for my work order. She puts me on hold to find out what my options are. She tells me I have two options: They can cut me a check for $75.00 toward a window unit or we can start the process to get switched to another contractor! $75.00 wont even come close to purchasing a window unit that will cool a 150 sq ft room, my bottom level is 1200 sq ft. And, another contractor? Will I have to go through this whole process again? How long will that take? She doesn't know. Says to give the contractor until Monday to see if they contact me. (until 5:00 my time) I told her I am not waiting that long because contractors close at 5:00. Also keep in mind that this contract that we are dealing with is supposed to be open Monday - Friday 8:00 am - 5:00 pm.

So there is no reason they should not have been answering or returning phone calls this week. So, now I have to just wait until Monday to see if the contractor calls, while it is 100 in my house. I can't afford to go stay in a hotel, my head is killing me from the heat, my upstairs unit is getting undue wear and tear because we have to turn it off during the day and on at night to keep my boys comfortable. It now sounds funny when it goes off so I am sure there is an issue with it as well. If the contractor does not call, I have to get 2-10 to set up another contractor, get their phone number, call them on my own to set up the appointment and try to get them out here as soon as possible and pray to God that they have the parts that are needed and don't take another two weeks to get them in. 7/22 - This is when I have decided to write this post. It is crazy that it should come down to this.

I pay money every month for this service. First of all my unit is only 7 years old, so it should have lasted longer than 7 years especially since it is a Trane. Second, 2-10 warranty should not take so long to send approval for parts to be purchased. They need to look at their approval process and revise it. Make a phone call to the contractor and approve and then send the email approval or fax it or something. This crap about it taking 4 day and the contractor not even getting the approval or 2-10 not getting the request means there is a flaw in your process and you need to address it. Apparently, based off most of these review, I am not the only one who is going through this at this exact same time. I can not continue to spend money going out to eat when we usually cook at home.

We can't sleep well at night and are now trying to beg friends and family to borrow window units if they have them so that we can try to get cool. And as of right now, I am not sure we have found any units. If you can't tell, I am very upset over all of this and it is ridiculous that a family would have to go through this during such high head index as what we are going through right now. My poor dog can't even cool off and they are built to cool themselves off. I have to put ice cubes in his water to get him to drink it to try to cool him off because it is hot outside and it is hot inside. We can't get a break anywhere. 2-10, what is your plan on this? Who do you expedite something that no one seems to know should be expedited? How would I even know it is even being expedited?

Seems I am being lied to either by 2-10 warranty or by the contractor. I chose to trust 2-10 since I pay them every month for the warranty. I have already paid the contractor my deductible, but look where I am, sitting in a hot house reading terrible reviews on how bad this warranty company is and how long it takes to get work done with them. It makes me want to start now looking for a better warranty company to cover us when ours is up for renewal. The builder of our house is who referred us to them and the builder screwed us over too. So, we shouldn't have even trusted anyone dealing with the builder in the first place.

Of course I asked for a supervisor and it took me 3 times asking her before she complied with my request. A woman, Naisha, told me not to call her dept. again. A man yesterday, told me that he was a supervisor and that there were no others above him. The nonsense stories I have been told are absurd. The last I have been told is that the part is in Durham, which is 2 hours away. I offered to drive to Durham and get the part myself and was told No. The part should arrive on Monday and the contractor will be here on Tues, which is 12 days since the diagnosis.

My house temp is 90. Starting today, outside temps are to be near 100 with a heat index of 105. I cannot cook in my home. My 16 year old dog is listless and not eating well. My bathroom now has mold on the tile. And yes, I was told that any mold damages caused by the non-working A/C unit, would not be covered under the warranty. I spoke with a supervisor yesterday, Nettie, and she was very professional, however, I am very confused about something she told me. With 5 contractor visits, a new compressor, 2 leaks, a coil and several pounds of freon, she said that your company has only paid out $825.50. I find that very suspicious. I am very frustrated. Since June 13, I have more days without air conditioning than with and 21 days of that is due to 2-10 locating, ordering, purchasing etc.

Unspoken - She doesn't care because that will not cost them money. From my research and speaking directly to the contractor they will be saving about $177.00. I even offered to just pay the contractor myself and be reimbursed up to the cost that they would have paid, so it would cost them nothing more, and they said that was fine but if I did that the A/C unit would not be covered for any reason for the rest of the policy. We will not be using this company in the future.

I talked to 2 reps and last person called the contractor to determine if this was the same problem. The contractor agreed the problem should have found the first time so they waived the fee. With this situation out of the way, the contractor started the repair, at least that what I thought. He didn't bring in a part or left with an old part. Later on that day, the noise started again and a burning smell. I called 2-10 to find what the contractor submitted as the repair. As confirmed, the contractor did not replace a part. They said they will have the contractor come back out for the 3rd time and I asked for another contractor. A few days later the 2nd contractor came to my home and found that the evaporator coil needs to be replace and leaking. He said they will replace the coil and outside unit so everything will be up to code.

I thought the next step would be to order parts but there was an issue with a diagnosis from the contractor so a few more days went by. I got a call from customer service that they have a diagnosis and my warranty that does not include HVAC add-on (extra cost). I have to pay $408 and they can replace the coil but not the outside unit. The next day, another call from customer service that the part was on back order at the manufacture and they don't have ETA right now. I talked to a "supervisor" and she said she will contact the contractor and get back to me. She called the next day that they have a part. The contractor came this week. I was happy to finally get the unit working, however, it never happened! They had the wrong part... someone ordered a left part instead of a right part (whatever that means)! As of today, no update from the contractor or 2-10!

So explain to me how I paid out of pocket for both parts and got them within 2 days and they have yet to even approve the service repair and my AC still isn't working properly which means they still have to come back out and figure out what the problem is. I ask to pick another company and they expect me to pay another 100 dollars even though this was deemed an emergency service 5 days ago and we're nowhere near a resolution. I won't be renewing my contract after this year. The lack of urgency in this situation by both them and the contractor is unacceptable. Especially with the weather, how hot it is and you're dealing with newborns and elderly people.

They decide to deny our claim base on pre-existing conditions. We call in submit our inspection report offer to have our inspector reach out to them. They then approve the claim, almost a week later, order the parts a few days later. So a month after the original claim was submitted and a day after they told us the parts would arrive the contractor calls. Asks what happened, I am confused. Call 2-10. They say claim has been denied again for a final time. The only way to reopen our claim is to pay on our dime for a different contractor to come out and then certify that the AC was in good working condition when the warranty started. So here we sit without AC for a month in July because we were told it would be covered only to have it over turned the day AFTER the parts were supposed to arrive.

Here comes the kicker. We finally are told what the "pre-existing condition" is, the contractor measures the freon 5lbs low. 2-10 says this couldn't happen in 4 days. The contractor came out 11 days after the warranty started not 4. At any rate we call an HVAC contractor, ask if you could lose 5lbs in 4 days and they say, "If you have a leak you can easily lose 4lbs/day." Google it. Forums everywhere say it's common knowledge, 2-10 thinks it's impossible! They have strung us out for 30 days and then hung us out to dry without valid reason. We spent so many hours on the phone with 2-10, we were promised return calls 4 times. We never once received a callback, we were hung up on. Their customer service is the worst and their coverage is even worse. 2-10 is a complete SCAM, avoid at all cost.

2nd trip after having the same issues as the first it was determined I had a bad compressor. Now keep in mind my unit is 16 years old. Replacing a compressor is like going into heart surgery at 95 years old. Being it was the older refrigerant R-22 in some cases it's just better to replace the entire system. Home warranty companies would rather rebuild 20-year-old units than just spending the same money on a replacement unit. For major replacement parts you have to wait about a week for warranty company to ship the part to the contractor then schedule the contractor to come out again for the installation. It was close to 2 weeks to endure this process.

3rd trip out hasn't happened yet, but it's been scheduled. Less than a week after installing my new compressor my unit isn't doing any cooling whatsoever. It's acting like it has no refrigerant at all, which means I have a big leak in my system somewhere. Could be indoor/outdoor coil. I'm sure the fix will be to replace that coil and endure another 2 weeks in the hot AL summer waiting on a replacement coil to arrive. All this hassle and you'd think they would suggest replacing my system, but I highly doubt it. Let's see what they do.

That the AC company came, they stayed 27 minutes and told us we had a leak and that they would come back. When they were here they said they were going to bypass the delay to try to make it work. The certified technician did not check the AC, only the trainee. When they did the bypass, there was a burnt electrical smell in the house. Throughout this whole time the certified technician kept making snide remarks about the house to my husband. That was very unprofessional since I was in the kitchen reorganizing everything to get ready for some visitors later that week. When they did the bypass, it also caused the fan to be turned on. When they left we tried to turn off the fan but we were unable to.

The system showed the fan was off but the fan was always in. Two days pass by and we call the home warranty and they inform us that our claim was denied. We were told that because the AC unit was not maintained it caused a leak and that's why it was denied. We informed them about the burnt smell and the fan and the warranty rep on July 1st told us they would send another company for a second opinion. I called the warranty on July 3rd and we were told they wouldn't send anyone because the claim was denied. I explained everything that happened to the rep and she said that we should told them the issues the first time. According to my notes we told them the issues each of the following dates: June 29th, July 1st, 3rd, 6th because each rep stated that wasn't in their notes.

On July 6th I was told by the rep that I would have to hire an AC company to get a report to try to get the denial repealed. By this time due to having a hot humid house, my son's eczema was acting up and he had patches and scabs over his body despite doing his routine to minimize outbreaks. I tried keeping my children out of the house as much as I could but I don't have enough money to go to a hotel with my family until fixed. I was later told because he is constantly sweating at home it was making him outbreaks despite treatment.

July 7th I talked to a manager who said his name was Guy. After explaining the situation he said he would talk to a supervisor to see if they can send a different company because he did not have the same authority the supervisor did. Which sounds a bit weird for the manager to have less authority than a supervisor. He comes back and said that we need to clean the AC unit before they could send someone sent out. I told him that the unit was clean and then he said that because the technician sent them report that due to AC unit not being maintained it caused a leak that they wouldn't be able to send anyone. The manager told me the Freon was empty due to maintenance.

When I explained the burnt smell, and the fan constantly being on, the manager told me to file a claim with my home insurance because they are not responsible for any types of damages done by the companies they send out. He then told me I would have to hire an AC company myself. I called recently (July 18) to check again why they denied claim. According to the rep Melody, notes stated that due to bad maintenance, it caused a clog that caused an evaporation coil leak. The notes sent stated that we didn't clean the AC unit and never changed the filters. Because my dad has cancer and his health is very delicate we usually change filters every month to prevent him from having any respiratory issues. My parents live with us so that I can take care of them with their treatments but thankfully they went on vacation now that he is in between chemo sessions. I'm glad at least they didn't suffer through this.

I called local AC company. They came July 15, they were here more than 3 hours because according to the technician they had to isolate each section to try to see if there was a leak. He told us that there were no leaks and that he would come back on Tuesday July 18th to fix it because he had to look further into what happened. Today he came and fixed the AC unit and it's working. According to the technician the original problem would have cost us $150 and that it had nothing to do with maintenance. He said that someone crossed the low voltage wire with a high voltage wire (120V) and that caused the motherboard to get fried. Because the company sent by 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty fried the motherboard, it ended up costing me $607. This was horrible service. For the amount of money I paid to have a home warranty, I expected them to stand behind and take responsibility for the companies they send out to their customers.

UPDATED ON 08/10/2017: Work order number for air conditioning repair **. Service requested on 7/3/2017. Today is 8/10/2017. Still unresolved. Called today, said they're still waiting for part which had to be reordered. Service provider stated they gave 2-10 the correct part number but 2-10 tried to order a cheaper part that did not fit so part had to be returned. You will receive NO continuity, NO communication. Every time I talk to 2-10 or service provider "I HAVE TO INITIATE THE CALL". Because there is no continuity with your service request you have to start over every single time with people "checking the history and all the notes" and each time is starting from the beginning. I believe a zero star option should be offered.

The first contractor explained to me that 2-10 service requests go to the bottom of his lists, I didn't ask why. 2-10 does not contract with reputable companies, I personally called 5 national HVAC reputable companies none of which contract with 2-10. They seem to use a lot of small businesses which I support, however having to wait 3-5 days for an appointment to fix your AC in 100+ weather is not acceptable. The good news for me it is time to renew this home warranty and I appreciate the daily emails to save money if I renew before it expires. I have not read previous reviews for this company and am grateful this warranty was free with the purchase of my house. 2-10 your customers are not happy, do better.

I submitted a claim to 2-10 on the phone for my air conditioning unit. I was in the pool and I heard it start making a funny noise. I came into the house and it was set for 78 but it was already up to 84. I called 2-10 and it just happened to be on a holiday weekend, so I had to wait until the following Tuesday. But the service contractor came promptly and fixed it. I paid $100 service fee and I was very happy. The air conditioner is working fine. The service contractor was the same person who came out earlier for my heating problem. It was a wiring problem. He fixed it but it took a while to get the heat back on. It was a holiday weekend that both times happened. The recent one on the Memorial Day weekend and the Labor Day weekend for the heat. 2-10 is a good outfit and I'd recommend them if somebody wanted me to.

Original Review: The air conditioner went out 2 days ago, both days with a heat index of over 102 heat index. I had no response from the contractor they provided, even when I contacted the contractor (DHC Air, LLC) directly. Left me with two alternatives 1) wait for 2-10 or 2) get a hotel room. With my health I could not handle the heat. I decided to deal with it, called a local AC company and had it fixed. It was cheaper than a hotel room. They are shameful and owe me a complete refund, service and policy!

After the 3rd request made for service, 2-10 told me that they will not allow any more service requests and that we will have to seek someone out of network. I'm sorry, but if you paid the contractors a tad bit more money, they wouldn't put us last on the list to service. 2-10 also told me that the contractors don't work weekends and that is another reason they can't get to us before Tuesday of next week. Today is Thursday and this is day 2 of no air. This is our first house my husband and I bought together and we have lived here for 5 months and this should not have happened. Would never recommend this home warranty company to anyone.

Original Review: July 13, 2017

Complete scam. Phone lines are so busy you can't even talk to someone most hours of the day. I went days without A/C in 90+ degree weather. They gave me a very low level contractor to perform the work and he was completely unresponsive and hung up on me as soon as I mentioned I went through this warranty company. Instead of switching contractors they gave him 48 hours to respond. Nothing happened and they said I can use someone out of network. I went ahead and did that and had my issue fixed in a couple hours. I paid for it (only $320, surely this would be reimbursed... Nope!) and provided detailed pictures of the work and the invoices provided to me to 2-10 and they rejected paying because I went out of network, they didn't even respond to me to tell me this. I had to call daily waiting for someone to talk to.

This company is nothing but a phone loop of transferring to different departments and paying for nothing. They show no sympathy for someone sitting in a home that is over 80 degrees inside and keep telling me to wait for the next contractor and maybe it'll be next week. UNACCEPTABLE. I will be sure to let my real estate team know this so they will no longer recommend this company.

It is now July 12, 12 days without a good working refrigerator. I ask you what good is it if you pay for a warranty company to cover your appliances when they can't even fix an appliance within in a reasonable amount of time. I already had problems with my air conditioning unit last month when temperatures went into the 90's and 2-10's first appointment would have been after 7 days of 90 degree temperatures inside my house. So I paid out of pocket to get a local repair person to fix my unit in less than 2 days. Again what is the point of this kind of coverage if the repair time is not at all reasonable...

We never missed a monthly payment with 2-10 over 10 years and to see a customer get treated like this is unacceptable. As of 11 July 2017 we still don't have the problem fix. Our next step is to get legal advice and make sure this type of behavior don't happen to another customer. BTW, anytime we call 2-10 they still give us the same run around. After over 25 years in the military I never thought I would experience something like this. 2-10 no excuse! It's hot as hell in Virginia, please fix my problem ASAP.

The people assisting me with my claims were very fast and very efficient. Most of the time, I'd try to call the local contractors. I talked with them, tell them the issue and they'd ask me the model number of the appliance. They would come right out on the appointed day. They take care of the issue and we've never had to call them back to readjust something. It's always done in time.

One of the things, on the other hand, is that the cost every year seems to go up. I wish it would stabilize but now, it's $75 for each visit. It was $50 earlier. It's approaching, in some ways, the cost of the majority of the repairs. I had to do it except in cases of a major breakdown. If it's only a minor thing, it's not cost-efficient as it used to be. Nevertheless, I would still do it. I'll remain a loyal customer, however, it would be wise for them to be careful about raising their cost every year because it becomes significant. Still, I would tell others to get 2-10 now as they did well on my overall experience.

What I found though is that 5 days after my service request (3 business days) the part that I need to fix my AC has not been ordered. In fact, I was told that the service provider tried to order the part because they have a local supplier, but 2-10 wanted to order the part. Then I was told by some very rude people at 2-10 that I had not hit the right button for the right department, there was nothing they could do to help me - because everyone is having HVAC issues and that in turn does not make my case something to escalate. I was told the purchasing department is overwhelmed and bogged down, they will be getting the part ordered as soon as they can --- but it may take 3-5 days for them to locate the part. WHY?? The contractor has a distributor! They can get the part!! Instead, what I see is a company that does not care about the customer, or the situation.

I was met with rude people on the phone or people who had no idea what was going on. Two customer service agents in a row called the contractor to try to find out what was going on, which is ridiculous. It also tells me that MAYBE my part gets ordered, MAYBE it doesn't. However now, I have no choice but to stay in town because I was told it could be this week, it could be next... no one knows. I'm incredibly disappointed in the customer service provided, and the lack of empathy and understanding. I understand that many people have HVAC issues in the heat of the summer, but if the contractor you work with is able to get the parts needed - let them do it if you are just so bogged down. Instead of telling your customer they need to deal with it because there is nothing that can be done.

Before the electrician even submitted their diagnostics report indicating it was not an electrical issue, I get a call from the claims department saying my claim was denied to a "power surge" which is supposedly not covered. I was told that if I hire an out of network provider and submit the invoice to them, then they would re-open the claim. So, that's what I did. The invoice I submitted to them with the diagnostics clearly described was not sufficient enough so they wanted me to call that company back and have them call in to provide the diagnostics details. I asked the 2-10 associate why they could not call and he said they do not have the ability to make outgoing calls. I have been hung up on, transferred in circles, and disrespected.

None of this makes sense: The reason why my claim was denied, how few of the associates know their company process (how to handle an appeal) and why my family and I have been without air for so long when we paid a significant amount of money for a WARRANTY SERVICE, that does not cover what it says it will. I have already paid $280 in additional deductibles and no one can tell me if or when this issue will be resolved. Truly a despicable company and experience.

First of all, he never tested the system as the main water valve to the boiler was not even turned back on. When the heat did come back on, we had no heat on the main level, and the heat upstairs would not shut off. He completely messed up our whole system...which was working fine until he touched it! I called him back several times, leaving messages every time and he refused to return my calls. I contacted 2-10 and told them what had happened. They stated that they would have to dispatch the same guy to repair the job and I would have to pay him again because he said the job was complete!!!

When I told them what he had done and stated I didn't want him touching anything in my house again, I was told that they HAD to give him a chance to repair it before they could approve of a different company doing the repair! WHAT?! I told them to forget it and that I would just hire someone myself to fix what he broke. I was told that they would consider a partial reimbursement for the job if I had the outside company do the repair and sent them the invoice.

I hire a very reputable company to come out and fix what that guy ruined. They stated that he wired all three of the zone valves up wrong and then never even replaced the valve that was leaking in the first place. He had also neglected to refill the tank properly from the last time he had been out to service the boiler and the water level was down by half... which could have burned out the pump and was not providing heat to the upper floor properly. Thanks man! All told, the new repair cost me $1200 to fix this guys screw-up, plus the $100 fee I paid for the first "repair"! I emailed the invoice to the customer service rep from 2-10 as requested, and months later, never heard a single word back.

The previous owners of our house bought this warranty for us, which I was very grateful for. If I was buying it on my own, I definitely would have done some research and read all of these horrible reviews before wasting my time and money! It is a shame that I have been sitting on hold for the past 39 minutes and I know whoever answers is going to tell me someone will call me back in 24 hours. I need answers about my money!

My experiences have ranged from: 1. making a claim, being assigned a contractor, and never receiving a callback requiring numerous follow-up calls to customer service. 2. Having an out of town contractor drive over an hour, collect a $75 service fee (now $100), state that the appliance could not be repaired requiring another (local) contractor (and more delays) to order and replace it. 3. Having a replacement appliance offered to me only in colors that were different from my other kitchen appliances.

4. The company offers no follow-up services, takes no initiative (unless it's to remind you it's time for policy renewal), and is only reactive to complaints and situations presented. 5. The customer service is always transferring you to numbers that circle back to people that cannot provide adequate assistance and won't even update your address over the phone without "transferring" you with further wait time. 6. The company still owes me money from a 2015 claim that they could not provide adequate support/remedy for and I had to repair myself. They never compensated me for the repair, yet they have a full account of the claim's details and discussions. Although I have accepted that I will never receive what's owed, I will not be using them after my current policy expires.

When they came out the first time they were sure willing to follow me to the ATM to get their cash as they do not take checks. Wow, but now my house is sweltering, my husband has respiratory problems and still no A/C at 5 pm. I cannot tell you how unhappy I am and at this point ready to cancel the policy. I can't believe I am spending my hard earned money on a policy that is useless. I actually called another company and guess what they could have come out today. But no I waited and what do I get for it. Nothing. Except a house that is so hot you would rather sit outside in today's 98 degrees with a heat index of 106!!!

Three weeks later we contacted the contractor and they said they never sent the part out to be rebuilt. This prompted another call to 2-10 (30 minutes on hold). They said the contractor did send it out. At this point we asked to speak to a supervisor and told there were no supervisor was not available. We informed them we expected a supervisor to call within 24 hours. That was 4 days ago. In the meantime I am going on 3 months without a range. I would not recommend this company at all! We are now considering contacting a lawyer to resolve this... This is ridiculous!

For the AC claim, a local provider called us to set up an appointment time and they were here a day later. It was very quick and they were really good. The technician called to say he was en route and we also got an email or text alert saying he was en route. He was here for an hour troubleshooting. He did the work that needed to be done and was pretty thorough. Then we got a follow-up from the local refrigeration company saying that the service call had been completed and the ticket was closed. So far, it’s been fairly seamless working with 2-10. They have been straightforward, easy to deal with and they delivered as promised.

2-10 go as far as establishing the work order and then they push it out to the provider that is gonna take over the work. It depends on when you start the claim process and put in the claim or you need someone to come out and do something. If you call in a claim before Thursday or Friday or if it’s on a weekend, it could be not until the following Monday that you hear from them. One time, I need to get something taken care of and that was an air conditioner problem. I've had some issues where the first person that I had on a claim didn’t service my area so they have to reestablish it and I didn’t know that they changed that. It’s a little frustrating there and I’m not very nice when it comes to things like that. But the service providers that they’ve sent out have all been very good and on the whole, it hasn’t been a bad experience. They’ve been professional and helpful when I’ve needed them.

The plumber left and said he would order a part for the hot water on the inside. I didn't know what part he was talking about, and he didn't get back to me. It was about a month ago and I just called the other day, and the contractor said they're not coming back because the man that came had already fixed it as best as he could, that I either need a new one or a handicapped one. And I told them I didn't think I needed a handicapped one because I turned it on fine before he greased and fixed it.

I gave a call to 2-10 Home Warranty, and they said they could send out a different plumber, but that I would have to pay another $75. I told them to just forget it, and that I would just keep working on the faucet and loosen it up a little bit. I really had to work on it with tools, and I'm just going to go with it as is. If it starts leaking again, I'll see if my son-in-law can have the faucet installed because I don't want to pay another $75. With that $150, I could have gone on and bought a new faucet. The house is old, and this faucet is just an old faucet and probably does need to be replaced. I have been working all afternoon since I talked to the rep on the phone this morning, trying to loosen that hot water faucet up so that I can turn it on and off. Now, it's not dripping water anymore.

Apart from that, the claims reps have all been very nice and prompt. When I call in, I get an email usually the same day that I call in, unless I call later in the afternoon. Also, the contractors come out right away and normally fix it. I had a contractor come out before, when I had a leak in the roof, and he was very professional. He came out, fixed it, and even told me to just call him back if the part starts to leak again and he will come out and fix it for nothing. Whomever 2-10 has sent out have all been very professional, and I'm very pleased. 2-10 has responded very well and normally, the people that they contact respond to me at a very timely manner.

I had been perfectly satisfied with 2-10 until they changed the policy and I was not notified. The last issue I had was not covered because the policy had changed. The woman that I talked to said I never had coverage and I told her that I've had roof leaks in the past that was covered and she said that I was wrong. She argued with me until I made her put me on with a manager. The manager said that I was right and she was sympathetic that it had happened. They went and looked up at the paperwork and they confirmed it has changed. It used to be covered but now, it's an extra which I have to pay because I haven't been paying for it. The manager said there's nothing she could do.

I was incredibly put off and I have very much considered changing companies because I'm not sure what else I have lost. They want to charge new customers for things and different rates. I should be grandfathered in because I've been paying the same price for the same coverage. I was incredibly disappointed with that. Prior to the last incident, I had referred multiple friends to go with them over a different company because I was happy that they were always quick and helpful.

Looked online and very few microwaves aren't considered table top so I can see that they probably NEVER have to pay for microwave replacement. Previous call on light fixture over the sink was denied because the builder hadn't used a "big enough" device to hold this into the wall. So no coverage for "surprises" like the light fixture and the microwave. Who knows (since we aren't the original owners) what else might be a "not covered surprise".

Repairman came back and told us the coil was damaged so we need to repair it. He told me to call 2-10 to get on top of them because they do not do well with getting parts in. So I let 4 days go and finally started calling and then the repairman called and told me they ordered the wrong size and make sure I called to fix the situation.

At that point, when I called I was basically told "too bad" and the part will come in when it comes in. I asked to talk to a supervisor and was refused. I was then told they would put me on the top of the ordering list. I tried to be calm and let it go. It is now June 28th and I called to find out the coil would not be in until July 1st. I asked again to talk to a supervisor and was refused by 2 people. My next move is to call my lawyer and take them to court to get a full refund on the $3000 dollars we spent for our plan so we can go to a different company with a much better rating than them.

2-10 Home Buyers is professional, on-time, and they seem to listen to the problem I have. The only negative is that the contractors don't come out on the weekend, and it would be nice if someone could say that they can't come out on the weekend, but if I want them out, this is what it's going to cost. And then let me make a decision if it's worth giving a shot at. Other than that, if something happens during the week, they'll probably call you within 48 hours.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Original Review: June 22, 2017

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

PS. I am in the process of selling a home, that I have agreed to provide a homeowner's warranty on, but will not be using your services for this. I will definitely be utilizing someone else's services for this home, and will recommend that everyone do the same. I was also told that I could submit a claim for reimbursement of my deductible, but was not given proper channels for submission.

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

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

Needless to say, I was rude on the phone. My air is still broken and as far as I can tell it will remain so unless I pay for a new unit. So you tell me... why have a warranty. Today's date 06/08/2017. Feeling completely ripped off. Normal daytime temp here is 90 plus degrees. I wonder if the price of the part is the problem. About 2000 bucks. Maybe they just don't want to pay? Imagine that!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The technician who came out to our home indicated that it would be after Memorial Day if the part was not in prior to the weekend. Well, it has definitely been available prior to the weekend, 5/24 to be exact according to 2-10 and the confirmation email received. This is ridiculous! No return call or email. Suzy with 2-10 indicated that in order to utilize another Contractor at this point will prolong the order, but if they were on the ball 5/24 or prior we would have air now!!!

Well, tomorrow's Friday and I bet they don't work on holiday weekends! Thanks for such poor customer service that they don't even rate the one star (it made me rate). Folks, if you're looking for any type of homeowner warranty, skip this company, they just want your money!! This is my 12th and last year with them! I'm sure I've paid over and above the cost of a lousy compressor by now! Beware!

I have submitted a claim online and I have done it over the phone. It was easy and they were prompt. They have nice employees. The service contractors have all been very good. It's a small town and some of them are known. Some I know by reputation and they're all very respectful and timely so far. I had one issue which wasn't 2-10's fault. They didn't have any decent service people for that in the area because Texarkana is not a very big town. We've finally got that resolved to my satisfaction and theirs. They let me use somebody out of their system. I've had them for 5 years or longer and they could not be better. I'm very pleased and recommended them to my own son. They're very user-friendly and willing to work with you. I recommend them to everybody.

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

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

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

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

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

Original Review: May 22, 2017

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

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

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

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