Great service and fixed quick! I saved so much money, using Choice Home Warranty. The technician from Renaissance plumbing was great, he thoroughly explain the problem and the steps he took to take care of it. Thank you!

The technician was very efficient and explain the problem while showing photos of the refrigerator drain issue. He was thorough in using towels to clean up after himself, and ensuring that water was not left in the unit or on the floor. He also submitted the results of his evaluation to Choice Warranty in a very timely manner to prompt a speedy resolution. I would definitely recommend this service technician and commend him for his work.

I would never recommend nor buy another warranty. Nothing expensive is covered. All they want to "fix" is a dripping faucet or some other small repair. The plumbers who came to my home on Nov 2nd were wonderful and professional. I will hire them in the future. It's Choice I don't like.

Getting repairs done are a hit-and-miss with Choice Warranty. There has been times they are on top of it and send a technician out and times you have to call and fight with them because technicians no show or cancel or reschedule and Choice Warranty never communicates anything with you.

The repairman reset and fixed the sensors and the box overhead with the light. He was steady at work and very well aware of problem and fixed it. He noticed the door shook and swayed from side to side and hesitated as it twisted. He explained that rollers were well worn and a couple moved out and around causing the sway of the door pulling to one side. Even though I checked to see if warranty covered this I replaced rollers as the bearings in old ones had some missing.As I am 85 and lie alone without any family now I decided not to chance door getting off track and stuck half up or down or falling on me or car. The service and reply to my claim was excellent and I was operational within 3 days of claim. I am very satisfied.

You all did not fix problems . It had a leak and you all told tech to seal it with sealants and see if it fixes problems but I have been lawmaking in paying my monthly dues and if it does not hold then I need to make a claim again for the same thing and have to pay the service fees again. I feel that the problem was not address. You all just did not want to spend on fixing problems so you all went the easy and cheaper way. This is unsatisfactory and a gross misuse of my fees. I paid for a long time. Please advise on this or I will find a more reliable company that stands by their workmanship and not been to fast to fix problems with the easy and cheaper way.

The technician was courteous, professional, timely, and complete in doing a replacement of our ceiling fan. We were very satisfied with the work. My only concern is that Choice Home Warranty approved the replacement with a cheaper builder’s grade fan that is not the same quality as what we had. If that is a typical procedure for all repairs we will probably cancel our policy soon.

I have a shower that endlessly drips water. The agent who came to fix it appeared to know what he was doing. HOWEVER, because he has to get the needed part through CHW, it will be nearly three weeks before CHW gets the "approved" part. If he didn't have to get it through CHW, the problem would have been resolved in 24 hours.

A tech from A Quick Plumbing came out because my dishwasher was not draining. He recognized that my drain line went to this copper line that led down to the basement instead of going directly to your garbage disposal. So he said it needed to be rerouted. But he said he had to get it authorized, which I find a little **. He should have been able to do it right there on the spot. He told me he had to come back. But I didn't hear from him for days. Finally, I get in touch with him, and he told me he was coming back to do it.
When he came back, he told me, "Oh, there's a connection part. I don't have it." You would have thought he would have known that and what he needed when he examined it the first time. So he told me he has to come back again for that. So he came back and redid it again. My garbage disposal leaked while he was there. I told him, "My garbage disposal's leaking now." But he said, "Oh, well, I don't know. Whatever." So bottom line, I had to put in another call for that, pay another dispatch fee, and have another company come out and redo my garbage disposal.
Some of the technicians with Choice are beyond horrible. They are really unprofessional, in street clothes, and have no identification, cards, or invoices. The people at Choice are very friendly. But I did have an incident where they couldn't get somebody here, and they told me, "Okay. Well, you're on your own. You can get your own person and have them submit the paperwork." But someone was not gonna go through all that bother. So I spent a couple 100 bucks out of pocket because they couldn't provide somebody for me, even though I'm paying for the service.

You lie as you claim in bold that you repair or replace. However this is a lie. On my recent dw call you decided not to repair but you also did not replace. You decided to send a amount that was WAY BELOW what I could replace a dw. In fact was less than what I could buy the cheapest dw for sale. So in fact you lie in that you do not repair or replace as written in your contract. As a former appliance business owner I will make everyone I talk to know of this.

Claim denied because “preexisting problem”. How does anyone know when something will break? They would NOT tell me how many days would have to pass in order to be covered. Nor would they provide guidance on ANY equipment or systems as to when the breakdown would be covered. Pay their fee, then get rejected????

Choice had the best offer. I, fortunately, put it on three different homes that I purchased, so they were able to be a little fair on the costs. In my primary home around August, I had my air conditioning unit stop working. Being in Florida in August, they couldn't find anybody. So, I had to find a technician. I had to pay for it and then they would reimburse me afterward, which is not the way things are supposed to work. I paid them a $65 fee to diagnose it and then I had to pay the technician $85 to correct it. Then I had to wait for my money for the $85. They said, “We appreciate you helping us out.” I said, “Yeah, but I paid you guys the fee to begin with, and then I got to underwrite your business to reimburse me.”
Then two weeks ago, same home, I had my water heater go out. Again, it was a battle. In the policy, they cover everything. As far as the water heater, they cover the service. But they don't cover the physical unit, which is buried in their paperwork. I was not happy about that at all. But since this house is only four years old, I contacted the manufacturer. I made arrangements for the manufacturer to have a replacement unit picked up by a licensed contractor/plumber. They came and picked up the old one. They took it to the manufacturer. They got the new one and put it in. But again, I did the work. Every time I have a claim with Choice, I spend three to five hours of my time, messing around with it and getting them to cover it. I'm on the fence if I’m gonna continue with these people.
When I had a water heater issue, they came back and quoted me $1,280. I said, “Why?” They said, “Because the water heater is not covered.” There was a core charge of 600 and some odd dollars, plus the upgrade, plus the fee. After everything was said and done, I did all the work and my out-of-pocket was exactly $65, which was just the technician’s fee that I agreed to when I bought the policy. I saved myself $1,200.

I attempted to secure a pro-rated refund after verifying another Denial of Claims (3 of 4 claims denied). I purchased a 5 year policy and am 2 years and 4 months into that period. Essentially, after they did the prorated calculations, it left me with about $510.00. What they don't tell you about is that they also subtract the associated expenses CHW has incurred, I.e. any claim monies they have paid out! Because the one claim they paid out was for almost $600, it wiped out any refundable amount. Buyer beware of the fine print.

I am extremely happy with the technician. We have had the pleasure of having Southern AC service our units several times. He is always a professional and does great work. I would highly recommend this company to anyone. I am less excited with the process that Choice uses to get the work done. Choice's process initially is easy. However, there is not a process by which I can guarantee the technician I get is Southern AC. It has to go out to bid and they have to get on the system to capture it. The process is cumbersome. It would be great if I could make a claim and select a known Choice technician that I trust and have had good experiences with.

It is my opinion, based on experience, that Choice Home Warranty actions are based on their financial bottom line. I have had 2 service needs since the first of the year for different systems (internal plumbing, clothes washer breakdown). CHW's first choice for service contractors, in both cases, were companies 2 hours from my home (google map shortest route), and in one case, another state. I had to source my own local plumber and press them for a local washer repairman. Reimbursement takes ~30 days and can come in the form of a gift card (new washer). A wrestling match all the way.

I called a plumber and he was wonderful. I had two different jobs that he had to do. He had to replace the garbage disposal, and then he had to work on a clogged drain. The plumber told me that he absolutely refused to work with Choice because it takes up to three months to get payment.

My recent experience with customer service was far from acceptable. I had a food disposer that failed and upon opening a claim it took over a week to get someone to replace it. And this only occurred when I called someone local to do it. I spoke with customer service 4 times, each time the reply was to allow another 24 hours for Choice to find a tech. After the first 24 hour period expired I should have been allowed to obtain someone on my own (and have Choice reimburse me) rather than having to wait, going without a food disposal for over a week. If I had not purchased a 5 year contract it's doubtful it would extend an annual. I sincerely hope the service is what I'm promised in the contract should I have to open a claim for some other reason.

We’ve had Choice Home for several years and are very satisfied with their services. We’ve requested repairs on various items and only once did we have a problem, which was no fault of CHW. The service technician was the problem and after several call backs to CHW a new technician was sent out and problem taken care of. The only complaint we have with CHW is when it’s time for renewal of the policy they start several months in advance of expiration date and are very persistent in their sales pitch. To the point of making me want to scream. We’re well aware of the expiration date and have always renewed in plenty of time, taking no chance of lapse of coverage. When I ask not to be pestered with follow up phone calls no one there understands the meaning of NO PHONE CALLS.

CHOICE HOME WARRANTY IS DEFINITELY NOT AMERICA'S 2ND BEST HOME WARRANTY SERVICE... They paid for their endorsements. If you dig deeper into other sites like Yelp, you will get true reviews from real people. On June 7, 2022 I took a 4-year home warranty policy from this company. On Sept. 19th, 2022 I filed a claim for our dishwasher to be fixed. Oct. 3rd, 2022 I finally received an email telling me that a service tech would come on 10-5-22 to look at our appliance between 11:00 am - 3:00 pm...he never came. After many calls to the service tech, I finally got a call back asking me what the issue was, which I proceeded to tell him and what we tested and checked first. It was obvious that he didn't want to come and told me he would put into CHW a write-up to replace the dishwasher. After weeks of multiple calls to the service tech as well as Choice Home Warranty with no responses.
I called CHW once more and demanded to speak to a manager. I would think after 40 days, I should have had my dishwasher fixed or at least received credible information as to when it would be fixed. Their customer service people up to their service managers lie and are equally as negligent as this service tech they contracted with.
Today when I called once more, the manager I got this time stated I never should have been promised a reply within 4-6 hours...really, only now it was 30 hours later. This new manager tried to sympathize with me saying she understood my frustration again...par for the course, as I heard it multiple times already...they all LIE!!!! After hearing that, I cancelled my policy to which they prorated my plan and charged me a $50 cancellation fee.
I paid $1,386.00 for this warranty and praying I at least get the $1,128 they promised would be refunded. No service business should be run in this manner, cheating people and lying over and over again. They definitely are drinking the same Kool-Aid! So what recourse do people like us have over companies like Choice Home Warranty. Please don't trust all the reviews you read and look for real reviews like on YELP where real people leave honest reviews. Thank you.

This home warranty claims to replace your appliances if they break. However, in practice, they give you a small amount which does not actually cover the cost to buy a new appliance, or any money to help with installation. Our microwave broke and we paid the service fee to find out it needed replaced. Instead of getting us a new microwave, Choice Home Warranty decided they would give us about half the amount a similar microwave would be in Lowe's gift cards. On top of this, it would take 20 days to get these gift cards. This was not what was advertised, but I was told this is allowed per their terms. These say that the company can give whatever it deems fit for a replacement with no recourse to the consumer. This is not acceptable behavior from a home warranty company, which exists to safeguard your home appliances. AVOID AT ALL COSTS! NOT A REAL HOME WARRANTY!

Long story on this. I ditched a different home warranty company because of poor service, and when I came to Choice, they said they would waive the 30 day waiting period because I had previous coverage during that time. I filed a claim on the A/C during this time and they denied it, because I was in the 30 days! I disputed it, sent all the documentation they asked for but they never followed through. I was still under contract with the previous company and had them fix it. So now, for the current claim, Choice wants proof it was fixed before. I told them I would send them a copy of the completed service request from the other company and they said that was fine. I sent it and someone else contacted me and said it wasn’t enough and the repairs still aren’t authorized. This is total **.

This was my first time to use the warranty and I wasn’t aware that Choice Warranty had to assign the technician. Thus, I’m out the cost of 2 service calls. The service technician found the same fault that I found before I called Choice Warranty.

The technician that came out was very friendly, respectful and knowledgeable. This is the first time that I have ever had a home warranty, but I definitely would recommend Choice Warranty to take care of your home needs. They are quick to respond, great customer service, and easy to work with.

Technician was great. Choice replacement offer was unfair and inadequate. They do not replace your brand or finish of appliance but come up with some generic substitute and then only offer what they say with no substantiated back up is the wholesale price. $249 to replace a $929 MSRP dishwasher. Please explain to me how I am supposed to be happy with that. It’s an insult.

I chose to take a gift card to purchase another washer as replacement option. I was told after I chose this option, it could take 30 days to email me the gift card. Sending an email should never take that long. It's another way to delay receipt of your service.

They always find a way not to pay for replacement. $300 for an $800 dishwasher. $0 for an air conditioner. Carefully read the contract. There is a phrase or clause that denies their responsibility to pay for replacement. What sounded like a good deal really was not.

I called Saturday - they came out on Tuesday. I wish they could have come out sooner. I’m not happy that the diagnoses could not have been resolved with materials he had in the car. Now I will have to wait an additional several days and our warranty is not covering the replacement of the gasket. I’m not told why. Why did I pay all this money for coverage if I have to pay for service call, installation and now the part needed?

Huge let down. When I got the warranty I was told that all appliances were covered to include the water heater. When my water heater leaked causing flood damage I was told that everything on the water heater was covered under the warranty except the water tank. I have been disappointed with CHW since I purchased the warranty and will be terminating my warranty with CHW.

Overall, I think Choice is one the best options for home warranty coverage; however, the sales rep really ruined the experience with his attitude. I initially called just to get information regarding coverage cost and claim copay. The rep provided me with a lot of options. He ran through the numbers fairly quick…it was kind of hard to keep up. When I advised him that I would review his email and get back with him in a couple of days, he advised me that he had only spent the “past 16 minutes” on the phone with me was because he thought that I was going to purchase the plan at that time. He dropped his initial offer to a more discounted price and I accepted because I knew that I was going to select Choice prior to calling in. Although I remained kind to the rep, I truly did not appreciate his tone. If you don’t like your job, then you should quit.

The guy from Choice who called me was super nice. I have another warranty and they claim that I have t pay them until my contract was up. The guy from Choice told me that if I pay them a certain amount, he would put my payment on hold until December. So, that’s a super nice deal that he didn’t have to do and I appreciate that. It really made me feel good, especially after the way I was treated by others. I was very happy. That made me even more glad that I had decided to go with Choice Home Warranty. They called me back really soon when I was trying to find something, and the gentleman that signed me up was also very nice.

The last repair was on my air conditioning, and I wasn't thrilled with the results. That fella that came out to do the work was a real pleasant young fella. But when I called about the cleaning, because I thought since it wasn't working right, the warranty would take care of it. But it didn't. And Choice hey wanted $900 to do it. So, we just made our mind that we wouldn't be dealing with them anymore. The guy that came out to do the well pump, they put some astronomical figure. We paid $75. And it was 570. The part was 100 bucks. So, they exaggerate the prices. There was another item we called to have fixed. It was our water softener. I thought they took care of our water supply to the house. But they said that it wasn't covered, and they didn't send anybody out for that.

I submitted a claim with details of what happened, but instead of a representative calling stating that my policy does not cover that, they sent a tech out for me to pay $$ just for them to deny the claim. Choice could have contacted me to let me know that it was not covered and not even worry about wasting my time and the tech's time. I am out of a service fee and still have to pay more money to get the job done.

I’ve enjoyed having Choice. Customer service is good. Quick response between the time you call and when a repairman comes out. The downsides are, if your appliance or system are deemed non-repairable, you have to wait 30 days to receive funds. This is unacceptable as we spent close to the amount they’re refunding you on fast food (for the fridge) or at laundromats (for washer). Additionally, the refund amount is “usually” disappointing. Lastly, they try to limit you to a Lowe’s gift card. Be sure to ask for a check if you’d rather shop around.

I was disappointed that it took Choice Home over a week to find a repair service. (It would have been a real hardship if it had been my stand alone freezer or my air conditioner for example). However, once Universal Appliance Repairs showed up, I was very satisfied with their service. The freezer was repaired on the spot, but the dishwasher needed a part replaced, which they immediately got authorization to order, and as soon as it arrived (about a week later), they came back and installed it. I can definitely recommend them.

The company is okay. They do what they say they're going to do. They can definitely make it better. The site is hard to log in via phone and you don't get to select your availability. They send you the date and time of the appointment without regard for your own schedule. So, if you can't make it then you have to call or make sure they can come another time, which in itself is a waste of time and should be better.
