    My initial call today to the cancellation dept. was to cancel my account. But when I spoke to Cadean about my concerns, she was very professional, patient, understanding, accommodating and helpful in EVERY way, that I decided to stay with ARW. She was very knowledgeable and her demeanor was very noticeable and appreciated. I felt very happy and satisfied after my conversation with her. She's a great example of professionalism with a unique quality in showing care and concern! On a scale of 1-10, she's a 20!! Thank you Cadean!!

    When I looked at what American Residential Warranty had to offer, I talked to a couple of friends of mine who had coverage through some other companies and their coverage was comparable to what my friends were being offered. I went with them and when I first signed up, my experience was really good. Then recently,, I had an interaction with a sales rep which was less than satisfying. I had a situation where one of my payments didn't go through because I had switched my debit card due to some fraud and they weren't aware of it. I told the lady that I did not want to up my policy and she upped it anyway, which kind of torqued me off. And I haven't been able to get up with anybody to remedy that situation. So at the moment, I'm not the happiest camper with them. But I'm going to be taking care of that very shortly.

    Buyer Beware! We purchased a home warranty from this company and it was money well wasted! I should have known when we waited on hold to purchase the plan, so long I was able to go online and purchase while we waited. About 15 Min later I got a phone call from a representative and when I said I already purchased online, he hung up on me. In addition to the warranty cost, We paid the $50 service fee for a company to come out and the warranty company to tell us that what needed to be replaced wasn’t included in the warranty. Start to finish that was 4 months and many, many phone calls and holds. We had a second claim, paid the $50 twice (after one of their vendors used our dish scrubber and vacuum to “get a better look”) and then again for the next company to come out.

    The warranty company told us that they were going to enforce the clause that they can choose to pay a flat price for the cost of the item if it needed replacing and offered $200 for our subzero refrigerator. This was 6 months start to current. They said they were cutting the check (and only cut checks once a week on Thursday) and 2 months have gone by. I call to follow up and they said they don’t know what happened to call back Tuesday. I only recommend this company if you want to spend more than 40 hours on the phone and basically make a full time job out of using your warranty.

    Updated on 03/12/2021: This is in continuation to my earlier review, I called 855/804-4447 yesterday and talked to Tulio in the afternoon who promised to resolve it. I did not hear from anyone. I had a missed call with no voice mail. 3/12 I called and talked to Ramon and he took all the information and assured me to get back to me. So, in a nutshell, nothing has been resolved.

    Original review: I have been an ARW customer for the last 5 years paying the fees but in the last 3 months, I have faced challenges when the time came to use this company. I put in the claim for a dishwasher in 2019, nothing happened, We could not get anyone home in 2020 due to Covid and kept cleaning dishes after we ran the dishwasher. Then we paid $55.00 visit charges again in 2021 to have them look at the dishwasher, and we have been waiting for the last two and a half months and have spent 12 hours in phone time with no resolution. I have been on the phone with them for more than 12 hours and reached nowhere.

    They are neither offering a buyout nor giving a fixed date when they will fix it. Today they said that the service provider has ordered parts and when I confirmed from the provider, the provider said they have not even ordered any part. I called them again and was on hold for more than an hour each for three times and got disconnected. Totally frustrating experience. I filed a claim for a garage door closer repair last month and it got declined because apparently the door closer springs not a part of the garage door closer. Does that even say on the sheet they mail you, NO.

    I filed a claim for a trash compactor and they could not find a similar compactor and asked me to choose something for $150.00 and they had no replacement/repair window insight. With a broken Dishwasher and a broken compactor, I had no option but to get it replaced with my own money. The service is sloppy and delayed and the customer service department does not care about the customers at all. They were happy when we were filing no claim in 2020 and when the checks kept coming for the last 5 years but when the time came to process the claim, all they have is excuses and time delaying tactics. I will never recommend anyone to ARW at all.

    When I first got American Residential, somebody called me back and told me I didn't have enough coverage. I thought when I was paying about $1,500 a month, it covered the appliances and everything. But they said it didn't cover certain things like the oil heater and stuff like that. I ended up getting more coverage on it. It was all right. But if I find a cheaper one, I’ll probably cancel them because it's kinda high. Right now, people ain't got a lot of money and I’m paying $109 a month.

    I called American Residential Warranty for a claim, told them my stuff was messed up, and that I needed somebody to come out. That part was pretty easy. They charged me $55. They then processed the claim and I waited about two days. They said they would call me but I never received the call. They said they emailed me but I never checked my email because I told them to call me because I really won't be checking my email. I ended up waiting. About four or five days later, I called in. The rep said someone called me but I didn't have any records of anyone calling me. They said they didn’t have a serviceman in my area to fix my appliance. They should have known that when I first filled out the claim and told them my address. They should have told me they would not be able to service my contract. This was around the time that it was 20 below outside. I asked what I was supposed to do and they didn't know.

    I called back a couple of days later and asked what the update was. The rep said they would send me a check to get the appliance fixed myself. I asked what I was supposed to do if the cost was more than what they sent me. That was in the contract they said. I said to hold on and I was gonna just check something else out quickly to see if I wanted to do that or not. I called the rep back a week and a half later and told her to send me the check. She said they were gonna process the check. The check would take about two weeks to get out here. Either way it goes, my furnace was still down for almost two weeks. I still haven't received the money and I'm paying for a warranty that was dumb. American Residential didn't give me any option. Since they didn't have a service person in my area, my only option was to take the money.

    My daughter's heater went out. It took us like two days to get ahold of anyone at American Residential Warranty. Then when we got them, we were like, "Well, she's cold and we need someone out." They're like, "Well, just to let you know, it takes 24 to 48 hours for us to find someone." We switched to American Residential Warranty from Landmark. Apparently, Landmark is a number one, which we didn't realize when we had them. When my daughter had a need, it was taken care of that day. Now with American Residential Warranty, they let you know right off the bat, "Well, we're sorry you're cold, but it takes 24 to 48 hours for us to find you a mechanic, a person."

    That next morning, they had someone and they said, “And they'll be calling you by tomorrow.” There was no call. By the close of the second day, we called the people that they had set up, and there was no answer. The machine doesn't even say who they are. It's just, "Beep." We were like, "Well, I hope this is the heater repair place." We left a message and then there was nothing. I was like, "Well, it's COVID. It might be limited staff. And they might not just have people answering the phone while they're out on calls." We called who they set up the next morning, and only this time the machine gave us a number, "If you're calling for this, try this number." We tried that number. It was clear that this HVAC company wasn't going to be returning our calls.

    We called American Residential Warranty back. They're nice and they said, "Oh, well, we're sorry that happened. We have them on our list as viable." They're not. Now, we're the day before the predicted three-day storm, and my daughter's freezing. In the meantime, she used plug-in heaters. They blew, so she had no electricity. I asked, "So now, is electricity covered because she has had to result to plug-in heaters?” Luckily, that got solved. They just needed to rest for a little bit. We turned off and on the things like three different times. Then finally, it started back up. We were like, "Well, at least, she's okay there."

    The gal from American Residential Warranty said, "Well, I will put a rush on this. I'll put a rush." I said, "Okay. So what does that mean?" She said, "Well, it just puts a flag on it. And like before, we could have someone right away. But we have to let you know, it may take 24 to 48 hours for us to find one. And they have 48 hours before contacting you. They have a 48 window before they have to contact you." I said, "Are you kidding me? She is freezing. We have a guy that that does ours. He'll come out right now and look at." She said, "Oh, well, you can do that and then get reimbursed." I told her that scares me because we've not used them before. We haven't built a trust yet. She gave me a number and an email and said, "It's very easy to get reimbursed. Once it's done, just send the invoice to here, and they'll send it to you. Now, they have 30 days to get you the check."

    We did our own guy. He was out in two hours and fixed it, and my daughter had heat. I immediately turned around, sent the invoice to the email she sent. 31 days later, I got an email, "Oh, well, that's not sufficient. You need to send this, this. Here's the paperwork you have to." I have to give them the life of my firstborn child to get this $70 invoice paid. It's all for the 70 bucks. So, I haven't addressed that yet. I've been very busy. I have to print out a form and fill out the form. I have to send a PDF file of a paid invoice, which is kind of logical. They want to show that I paid it, and I get that but they waited 31 days to send me the email to say, "Oh, you need to do more to get paid back."

    That was the first time we had to use them. Now, in the meantime, we have increased the policy. And to increase the coverages was easy. That just took one simple phone call. I received the email confirmation showing the new policy coverages. That was all flawless. If nothing ever happens for the remainder of our contract with them, I will not sign up with them again, and they will not get recommended to anybody. If I do get paid back, but it takes me the five months to get it, then I will not renew with them.

    I talked to someone about what the fee was with American Residential Warranty and I went with them. It was not quite clear that my washer and dryer were not included in the coverage until later, and I added that. But as far as the payment was concerned, it seemed to be all right. Plus, the upfront on a service call is less than any of the others that I found. I made one claim on an icemaker that just quit and they got someone right out here who fixed it and it cost me $55. The tech was great, too. He came in and finished up right away. I was well-satisfied with my experience.

    If you're looking for a home warranty for your emergency repairs, stay away from the American Residential home warranty program. I had a Sears home warranty and was looking for another company with a better premium and deductible. American Residential representative was so convincing that I switched my coverage to them. BIG MISTAKE! Don't be fooled by the lower price; you will get what you pay for! Instead, please pay attention to the actual coverage; they do not tell you when selling you their product. Most importantly, when you call for emergency service, they do not pick up the phone. This morning, March 5, 2021, I waited for 45 min on the phone to file a claim for my heating system. No one ever answered. I called back twice to no avail.

    I called a fourth time, but this time, instead of pressing option #1 for service, I pressed option # 2 for billing to cancel my policy. A representative answered within seconds. A few months ago, I had a plumbing stoppage with sewer water backing up and getting all over the house. I called for emergency service, and they told me it would take 3 days to assign a contractor to the claim. I told them that the sewer water is toxic and that I could not wait three days. I asked permission to call a local service provider; they transferred me to a different department. I put my phone on speaker and went about my business while I was on hold. An hour later, my phone must have gotten tired of waiting, and the call was disconnected. I called back and waited for another 42 min, and no answer. I hung up and called a local service provider and sent them the bill.

    Days later, AIG, who apparently pays for the claims, called to inform me that they will send me a check for $350, the maximum allowed in the contract. The service cost me $475, and I paid a $50 deductible! If you live where I live, $300 barely buys groceries. Similarly, I had an electrical issue. I called to file a claim; guess what happened? Yes, NO ONE answer again! Almost two weeks later, I got a call to not find anyone in my area to assign the job after I filed a complaint.

    Mind you, I live in Boston, and if you google "Electricians in Boston", you get an 11-page listing. The first page alone has 20 electricians listed! As you can see, American Residential does not even have contractors in the most popular cities who want to work for them! That's why they tell you it takes at least three days to assign the job! Despite the multiple failures to honour their promise to provide emergency services when they want to sell you their product, I still gave them the benefit of the doubt and did not cancel then.

    Today, March 5, 2021, I called to cancel my account and request the remainder of my premium after a third failed service request. They tried to convince me to stay and said they would get someone to take my claim. I told them no, thank you, I have reinstated my Sears policy for $69/month, $100 deductible/call, for a $50,000.00 coverage! Please note, I am not promoting Sears home warranty, and I have no affiliations with the company other than my personal home warranty policy! I am only sharing this to say that home repairs are expensive, and if you plan to get coverage for your emergency repairs, read the fine prints before you buy any policy!!!! I will be paying out of pocket for today's repair because I want nothing to do with this company. Let's see when and if I will ever get my refund from them! You've been warned! Turn the page as fast as you can when you see American Residential Warranty in your search for home warranty coverage.

    I called someone to look at my plumbing and he came out and I paid the initial $55. But he never touched it. He only took my information and what I said to him, but he never said what he was going to do. But I left that alone. Then I went on until last year, my card expired, and I just stopped paying. So I was reinstated. Before Christmas, my heating went out and American Residential Warranty rectified what was wrong. It took a couple of days for me to be approved but everything went well. I got good service. But when I called the office in South Carolina, they switched me over to a department. They said, "Hold on. I will get you someone to help," and never came back.

    These guys will find any reason to avoid fixing your problem or approving the claim. It's hard to find these policy exclusions on their website but they are there. This happened for multiple claims including a heating claim where they took two months to respond. DO NOT BUY

    I didn't have any issues signing up. But this month, I had a issue because they were only supposed to take out $59 a month but they took $109 out. I didn't even know until I checked my checking account that they took that much out. I can't afford that right now because I'm not working. I want to take it off. I also want for them to reimburse me for what I didn’t ask them to put down. I told them I wanted to keep the first policy, but the second policy was supposed to have been eliminated, which they did. But I want to be reimbursed and they told me it’d be 48 hours before whatever company is supposed to call me. If I can't get my money back, I'm gonna drop my policy.

    We had the same home warranty as our friend and it took that company four months to replace our dryer. So, we said we were out of there. Our buddy also had trouble with something at his house and it took that company a really long time to get it done. He found American Residential Warranty and we talked to them. It’s better price than the other one we had and covers more. So, we went with them.

    I called because my dishwasher started leaking water on Saturday morning after running a load of dishes. I was able to call and reach a live human who quickly setup my claim and provided me with the vendors information. Before I had a chance to call the vendor Monday morning, they called me! The vendor was very professional, and had all the details about my claim when we spoke. Based on our conversation about the problem he was optimistic that he could order the part and be out on Wednesday so he would not have to make two trips. He arrived on time, and followed normal COVID protocols. I now have a working dishwasher, and the dishes never had a chance to stack up! Hoping I don't have any issues in the near future, but my first experience seamless.

Some will tell me I cannot get something fixed anymore, and I want to stop that. The representatives couldn’t even find my account several times.

    I called American Residential Warranty before the freeze here in Texas and told them my heater was not coming on properly. I have three jets in the manifold.

Three days passed and finally, I got an email talking about a buyout. I didn't want a buyout. I wanted somebody to come out here and look at it. That's what they advertise but they said either I accept a buyout or nothing. They also said it's in the contract but who's gonna sit up there and read all 500 pages of that little bit of the fine print where you can't even see it. I'm going by what they say which is either they repair or replace. I've had a problem with them before on the same thing and I consider them a fraudulent company.

    Somebody who used American Residential Warranty said they were good, and I got it. I was very satisfied at the beginning, hoping nothing would break in my house. When people take insurance, they're not looking for things to break, unless it's a scam on both ends. I made a claim on January 8th, 2021. I called up and I said, “My boiler just broke.” It was 10:00 in the morning. The rep said, “Before we can do anything, you have to give me your card number. So, we can take our $55 out or $59.” I gave her my card number. She took it out. She said, “We cannot have anybody in your house till next Monday or Tuesday.” I said, “This is Thursday. You want me to be without hot water or a boiler from Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday to Tuesday?” She said, “Yes. We can’t help you till then.” I said, “That's unheard of. I have a defibrillator. I have a pig valve. I'm 88 years old, and I think I need hot water. Not even to shower, just to have it here.”

    I said, “You know, I'm gonna cancel this call if it's okay with you. And I'm gonna call my son and see what he can do for me.” She said, “Okay. You do that.” She was a very nice lady. She said, “Hold on, I canceled it. And if you find someone who can come in and fix it sooner, call back and give the whole itemized list and the costs of it, and we will reimburse you.” I called my son. It was still 10:00 o'clock in the morning. He sent in a handyman named Ramon to my house. Ramon took a look and said, “I'll be back in an hour with a new boiler. You need a new boiler, it’s broken.” He fixed the boiler that day, two and a half hours later, so I could keep a doctor's appointment at 1:00 in the afternoon. At the same time, he gave the itemized bill to my daughter-in-law and son. They called it in for me on the same day.

    I tried to call American Residential Warranty back. My daughter-in-law could never reach them. I got the claims department on the line, and they have a gimmick. After waiting an hour, they put this guy from the claims department on, and unfortunately, he happened to have a broken phone. Whatever he was saying to me was garbled, mumbled, broken. I said to him, “You know, your phone is broken.” But he didn't wanna hear me. We hung up. A few other people called me, and it was the same system. It was a bad system.

    I would not tell anyone ever to hire American Residential Warranty. They’re nasty when they have to call you. They will not reimburse me at all unless I let them get into the bank to get their money. I said, “You know, for four years, I'm a customer, praying that nothing breaks. And for four years, you go into my checking account and take out whatever money you say I owe you for the month. And that is wonderful by you. But the day I call you on a Thursday that my boiler breaks, you want me to wait from Thursday to Tuesday to send them in.” They didn't send them in. They never did anything.

    I took out the top of the line policy from American Home Residential. After 18 months of having the policy, we filed a claim to repair our wall oven which was having problems cooking evenly. We paid our deductible/co-pay/service fee and they sent someone out to repair it. The guy said he needed to order parts and after three weeks, we never heard anything back. I had to make numerous phone calls to American Residential and was literally put on hold for hours each time. I finally spoke to someone who said they could not get the parts they needed so they offered $250 for a "buyout".

    This means I spent the money for the service call and got nothing other than I have to go and purchase a $3000 wall oven and a check for $250. I was never told they have a $250 limit on replacing any item in your home. I spent thousands on this policy. I do not believe they could not get the parts. Once I received my $250, I cancelled the policy in writing and verbally. I was told I would get a pro-rated refund for my prepaid policy. Once again, everyone you talk to at this place tells a different story. My refund was supposed to arrive within 30 days of cancellation. I never received the refund and decided to phone them again. Today I was told they do not refund policies that were cancelled by the homeowner. It's been one lie after another. The policy is a joke. Do not buy anything from these people.

I had to call a local provider to repair the heating system, which required a replacement. The replacement was made on 1/28 Thursday. This timeline is unacceptable, to be without heat for almost a week before a provider was even dispatched.

I found Consumer Reports' best home warranties, and I read up on it and compared it, and went with American Residential Warranty. I filed a claim for a broken cooktop. It was starting to go bad. One of the burners doesn't work on it. American Residential couldn't find anybody in the local area so they just cashed me out on it. The whole process took 15 days from the day I made the claim to the day I cashed out and I received the check. It's way better than my previous home warranty.

    The company that American Residential Warranty contracts with locally has come out and taken care of the items I had an issue with. The people are courteous, efficient and get the work done. When I initially started though, I thought that the entire house was covered. I bought a stand-up freezer and I found out later, after I've had the policy, when I wanted to make a claim on it, that I had to do an add-on. They said, "Oh, at the time that you read the contract, it was inclusive to the appliances that you had." I didn't understand that, but that's their policy.

    Trying to reach out to their customer service for adding things on has been an abominable situation as well. I reached a young man one time and he said, "Well, you have to send us the information about the stand-up freezer." I said, "Well, what exactly do you need? I could snapshot you or send you the serial number and everything. I don't know why you would need the purchase paperwork for it. I'm not arbitrarily grabbing other people's items from their house or having you go anyplace else other than to my house." They said, "Okay, we'll get back with you with a quote." I never heard from them again. I didn't add my stand-up freezer. I just went ahead and paid a local guy to come and fix what was wrong with it.

    On the items that I currently have in the house, the payment of $55 to have American Residential Warranty come out is worth it. The things that I've had done have needed that. However, the local contractors that American Residential Warranty uses may not have the part in stock and it takes them up to 10 days for the parts to arrive then they have to reschedule to come back out after the part arrives. Overall, if I had to give an alphabet grade, I would give it C plus.

    They tell you that they will cover repairs or replacement but they don't tell you that they have a CAP on how much they will pay out for an item/incident. I had a power surge that fried my computer docking station (for which I had extra coverage for electronics and accessories - at the time of warranty purchase they said it would be covered) and some wall outlets and lights units. They would not repair or replace the docking station as they did not consider it as an electronic accessory. My other repairs came to $450...but they only covered $350...and then deducted for the deductable from that!!! I was paying them $115 each month for home warranty coverage and that was all they covered!!! I also had outside plumbing coverage...for sprinkler system...and found out that they dropped that without telling me!! You are better off saving your monthly fees to put towards any repairs you may need in the future...

    We only purchased a 2-year warranty plan which was a good decision. Cost for coverage not good, too much fine print that will get them out of paying some claims. The claims and repairs process is ridiculously over-complicated. Overall I would not recommend this warranty company. It would probably be easier to file a claim and get the repair approved by your homeowners' insurance company.

    Ok, let me start by stating that I have had service been a customer of American Residential Warranty company (ARW) for a few years now. The company was my favorite because of the customer service that they provided. While, scheduling a service contractor takes a while it has always been a consistent process (I always had a service contractor provided after at least a three day wait period). But I was always able to get the repair fixed to my satisfaction. Lately the customer service has deteriorated to almost non-existent service.

    I put in a ticket for my LG washer because it would not drain and gave an OE error. They gave me a service contractor to contact (yes you have to contact them), and the contractor, Jones Service, stated on a Wednesday that he would be out to service my machine the following Monday. The contractor did not show up. I called the contractor to find out what the problem was and the contractor stated "He ran over on a job and could not make it." The next scheduled appointment which was a week later that I set up with him, he did not bother to show nor would return my calls.

    I called American Residential service to explain this to them and they stated they would give me another service provider that I could call them on Monday for an appointment. Now we are into the third week, when I called the service provider that ARW referred me to, the service provider stated that he did not work on LG products and does not accept American Residential Warranty. I called the customer service line and I was told that they would give me another service provider which was the latter service provider already given to me. When I asked them, what can we do to resolve this issue. I was told that I can either find my own service provider or they can escalate my issue to the resolution center who would contact me in three days.

    I stated to customer service that this issue is going on almost a month, now can they just transfer me to the resolution center or can I talk to a supervisor. I was told that the resolution center does not take calls and please hold for a supervisor. After a very long hold I was told that the supervisor would not be able to talk to me and that the supervisor would call me back later. (Yes, I am holding my breath for that call.) I don't know what happened to this company but the customer service is horrible now and I would recommend you find any other home warranty company to protect your home.

We are still waiting for that call. They took the fee for the claim and no service has been provided.

    I have made a claim for my well pump to be repaired. ARW sent out a service company who literally did nothing but tap on the pressure switch and claim they fixed it. Pump went out again a few weeks later and ARW was notified. ARW sent out the same company to "fix" the problem and they argued nothing was wrong with it (strange....no water coming to the house). I pleaded for them to change the pressure switch.

    They investigated further and apologized and put a new pressure switch on and found additional issues for which they said they were coming back to install the part. No show. A few weeks later pump goes out again and this time ARW charges me another deductible for an issue that wasn't fixed on the previous claim. We have been waiting for over 3 days (over 3 months counting the first call on the same issue) without water. In trying to follow-up on this new claim, I've been hung up on several times. Even once by a dispatcher named Macon (or Nathan) who was very rude and condescending. Buyer's remorse. I will be shopping elsewhere.

    Purchased our service in January 2020. 3 in 1 Bundle w/ Deluxe Advantage + other items. Issues and problems: Call to place a claim and you get placed on a continuous hold loop, when you get through after at least an hour on hold dispatch tells you that they have to transfer you to claims and puts to back in the loop. Once you get claims, they give you number, contractor details and date of service to contractors who don’t show up or provide details back to the company if they do show. ARW claims don’t return calls when the contractor gives a report back, if they are going to offer payout you have to continuously call every number they have to get any response.

    Final instance I’ve been waiting since August to get some assistance with my stove, this contractor came to my house 3x’s just to indicate that he can’t fix it and that’s after I called ARW for an update to be placed in that continuous hold loop to tell me that I have to call a different number for a payout that I wasn’t even aware they were offering. Another couple of days of continuous call loops to get through to an after hours operator who tells me that she can’t process my request but can make note and I would need to call back the next day to make sure the payout is processed. Here we are in October, there is no check from ARW and no calls... I just cancelled this worthless warranty and would not recommend them to anyone for any reason.

    I was serviced by professional each time. The service technicians was very nice. The technician provided me with knowledgeable information. I was told by technician why the dryer was not heating as normal. The dryer was tested after the completion of the job to make sure that the problem had been fixed. The technician asked if I had any questions or concerns pertaining to the work that had been done. I was very impressed with the interaction of explaining the original request.
