    I've had y'all for years. A couple of years ago, I sent several messages to cancel, as my wife got really sick and is now on disability, so I wanted to cancel. I sent at least 5 messages and no one ever responded. When we had you, your service was great. We are now able to start again. I signed back up and have a new policy number, but on the app it says my old policy number is past due.

    My a/c went out in Las Vegas, in summer. Over 100 degrees every day. The service tech comes out and determined that the unit needs to be replaced. The policy states that the replacement will be done at no cost to me. That is crap. I had to pay Choice almost $700 for the "coils" and now the contractor $ 4,400 for the labor. This is just for replacement parts! Not a new unit. The warranty on new PARTS is 5 years. This may or may not be compatible with the heating element that is with the old system. As I manage 11 properties, I have an AC company that maintains and works on all the other properties. It would have been faster and less expensive to have just had my people replace the system. Now, I'm going to have some jinky pieced-together system. Great salespeople that they promise one thing and deliver nothing.

    I have an above the stove microwave that’s mounted in the cabinet space. A technician from Sears came here and found out The electrical panel was fried. The replacement for this microwave cost $249. Choice Warranty said they would send me a check for $194 which does not cover the total cost of the replacement. Not only that but Choice Warranty does not cover the insulation of a new microwave. I find this unacceptable, plus I was told by Choice Warranty it would take at least 30 days before I receive the check in the mail.

    I am a disabled veteran and live on a very limited income. I don’t have good mobility and I rely heavily on my microwave to prepare my food. Now it looks like I won’t have a microwave for at least a month plus I have to go out and buy one and pay for the installation. What’s even worse is that after I paid the $100 service fee fee. I will only be getting $94 total for this replacement. I desperately need a working microwave.. If Choice Warranty claims to be a good company they could at least expedite that check for $194. I am a dissatisfied customer

    The claim process is easy. However, trying to get a technician to accept a claim is hard. We needed HVAC and it took 4 business days for a company to accept the job. That's a long time to go w/o AC. However, the company, CP Preservation was great. They repaired the issue. While there, they also ended up accepting the claim for the water heater leak. Replacement was approved by CHW and incidental costs were paid by the owner. As a property manager admin who needs to ensure approval of work, the acceptance link was troublesome. It automatically accepted for approval and the verbiage is not noted that way. It would be nice to see an estimate and letter as indicated to view, than it to accept as soon as you click.

    Issue, refrigerator not defrosting. After waiting 3 days for a technician to be assigned, I decided to take a look for myself. There were 2 possible solutions. One, the defrost heater had failed and two, it was not properly connected when the compressor and evaporator coil was replaced by your technician several months ago. It was simple enough to check and what I found was that the technician only connected 1 of the 2 wires needed to power the defrost heater. So I plugged in the second wire and put the cover back on. I wasn't going to pay a $75 service fee when the problem was caused by a previous repair you had done.

    I have been with Choice Home Warranty for 4 years. In that time I have needed a couple washing machine, AC unit, dishwasher, plumbing and an electrical repair(s). 80% of the time a technician is assigned within 24 hours. However, if there is an emergency repair, for example, the water heater blows up. This is not the policy to have. Over 24 hours to assign and then the first available appointment was 3 days out. Ok so what is option number 2? First off to get option 2 you have to get past the bot, get the outside USA customer service rep to call you back, wait for email and then... Get your own tech, get a diagnosis, get an authorization (CHW will reimburse at their rate) and then your tech may return to complete the repair. If you do not follow the steps exactly they will refuse the claim.

    Plumber comes out system is 27 years old, need to replace water heater, lines to it, expansion tank and pan. CHW does not cover anything but the water heater. Cost of just the water heater is over $500. Total bill $1940. CHW reimburses $600. Now let's talk about the minor repairs. Washing machine has had 3 techs come out -- still not fixed -- it is less than 2 years old. Dishwasher has been rebuilt over 3 different claims -- 27 years old and still working.

    AC when repairable has been great -- same day service. Needed one replaced they refused the claim, said it was abused. It's in the attic!? Bathroom fan -- replaced no problem -- however tech needed 3 different tries to fix. Garbage disposal -- no problem. Quick and easy. 3 years ago customer service was pretty good. Lately, customer service is just irritating.

    Unfortunately, my experience with home warranty companies has been that many make it difficult to receive the coverage they advertise, and Choice Home Warranty has been no exception. Claims are often denied or delayed, and getting prompt service can be frustrating. Because Choice Home Warranty is based on the East Coast, it has sometimes taken a couple of days to dispatch a technician, even for urgent issues.

    Another concern is how claims are handled when a repair requires additional work. Rather than reimbursing the portion of the repair that is covered under the contract and leaving the homeowner responsible for the uncovered portion, the entire claim may be denied. The only option is to file an appeal and hope for partial reimbursement. When a claim is approved, reimbursement is delayed. It took 25 days to get a Lowe's gift card for a refrigerator that needed to be replaced, leaving me with no refrigerator/freeze for close to a month. Based on my experience, the claims process has been frustrating and I would not recommend this home warranty service.

    The contractors communicate well, and some of them wanna help you, but some of them don't. I've had someone come in after an estimate from a Choice Home Warranty contractor, and they fixed it. It wasn't even the problem they said it was. They fixed it for a third of what they were gonna charge me. That's a big deal because if it's not covered under warranty and they tell you that it's something that it's really not, just because they're too busy, too lazy, or don't wanna get to the nitty-gritty of what it really is, then that’s bad business. It was for an electrical issue, and they took the time to go through every connection in my bathroom and find the one that had a problem and fix it.

    If I just came to Choice Home Warranty today as a brand-new customer, they probably have a way that you have to do a lot of work just to be under their coverage, like paperwork on all your repairs. But that's not where they're at with me because I've been with them a long time.

    I recently filed a claim after my refrigerator stopped working and was told it couldn't be repaired, so it qualified for replacement under my warranty plan. This is where things went downhill. Choice Home Warranty issued me a reimbursement check for only $818. I did my research and found that comparable refrigerators — same dimensions, same features, same capacity are currently priced between $1,799 and $2,499. So the "replacement" amount they offered covers less than half of what it would actually cost to replace the appliance I lost. I am now expected to make up over a thousand dollars out of pocket, which completely defeats the purpose of having this coverage in the first place.

    What made it worse was trying to get an explanation. I called and spoke with the claims manager to understand how they arrived at $818 what pricing data, depreciation method, or comparable models they used. Instead of a clear answer, I got a rude, dismissive response and zero transparency about how the company calculates these payouts. It felt less like a legitimate valuation and more like an arbitrary lowball number they hoped I wouldn't question.

    At the end of the day, you pay monthly premiums and a service fee expecting that if something breaks, you'll be taken care of. Instead, I was left with a payout that doesn't reflect real market value and a customer service experience that showed zero accountability. This isn't the first time I've heard similar complaints from other homeowners, and now I understand why. I've decided to cancel my contract. I do not recommend Choice Home Warranty if you expect fair compensation or honest communication when you actually need to use your coverage.

    Total Disappointment! When I spoke with Their Representative I shared that I lived in a Rural area of Kentucky and had concerns about finding vendors that were in their network anywhere near me. He Assured me that they could accommodate us even if it was through a Reimbursement Process. Our Well system developed a leak under the Pressure Vessel so I called them. They said there wasn't a Vendor in there network in a 100 mile radius so I needed to find one and go through the process. They said get an estimate/Invoice from the Vendor.

    I again called back and spoke with a person named Mel and was told I needed a written invoice and they would deduct the $85 claim fee from it? When the Vendor arrived they came prepared to fix the issue and were charging a $225 Diagnostic fee and parts and labor and repaired the issue stopping the leak. When we got the invoice for $518 for everything we paid it and upon calling Choice to get an email to send them the invoice they stated we had done it all wrong and refuse to Pay! It's Total Bullshit! Do Not sign a Contract with them!!

    First I spoke with a computer to file a claim. It was very impersonal, and I couldn't ask for all I needed. I asked to speak to a real person and was referred to customer service. The man was very impatient and frustrated with slowness in finding the info. he wanted from my computer. I felt rushed, as if he wanted to hurry and finish my phone call so he could get to another. Finally, he calmed down. His foreign accent and impatience was an impediment to problem resolution. Three issues: file a claim for AC repair; bills for, no way to contact Lifeguard Solutions, no contract online or contract number; an increase in my Choice bill without notification. Finally, he referred me to a resolution service for further help.

    The resolution expert was very helpful and patient. He acted as if he had all day. He resolved the increase in billing with no notification and my inability to pay for the increase by leaving the bill as it was. Next, he filed the claim for the AC repair, explaining the process carefully so I could understand. I didn't ask him to resolve the Lifeline Solutions issue, which I thought the first rep. had resolved. Unfortunately, when I tried to contact them, I was denied entry into the system due to an incorrect contract number I had just been given. Back to ground zero. I will have to call again. And, I fear the Lifeline Solutions is a scam. In short, it took me all afternoon to get my issues resolved.

    The only success I had was in speaking with the resolution rep. who helped me resolve two issues patiently and in a timely manner. Issue three is still unresolved. Overall, my review is mixed: poor for the computer and the first customer service rep.; good for the the resolution rep. Patience and an organized way to resolve issues one at a time should be a priority, which it wasn't with the first customer rep. The language barrier was an issue.

If I hadn’t made minimally 10 plus calls to expedite and coordinate; we still would be without A/C. The worst part of the experience is that Choice denied paying 90% of the repair. I have home warranty insurance because I have some older appliances/systems, etc. They denied payment because they said my air conditioner “didn’t have normal wear and tear”.

    The gas pack needs a new blower housing and motor. What do you expect with an A/C unit that’s almost 20 years old. It’s been serviced twice annually since new!! They make me feel like I went after the unit with a baseball bat!! Our old A/C unit has had very normal wear and tear. What a cop out!!

    Updated on 07/26/2026: Not giving any additional stars... In fact I wish I could take away half a star. Technically they have "resolved" my issue by refunding me my full contract price and service charge. They did so through monotoned, policy quoting jargon, couldn't careless method... A cold call from someone who tried to get me to accept a lesser amount and then a structured legal letter to BBB.org citing, quoting and highlighting policy before saying "but we are aiming to...".

    Original Review: Choice Home Warranty utilizes predatory procedural loopholes to avoid paying for major system replacements. If you are looking for dependable protection for your home's infrastructure, avoid this company. I recently filed an air conditioning claim for a degrading, 16-year-old Goodman HVAC unit experiencing severe temperature regulation issues between floors. After charging me a $75 service fee, they dispatched Sears Home Services. The technician's "assessment" was completely superficial. He didn't evaluate a single internal component or look at the outdoor compressor; he simply slapped up a piece of tape and gave me highly reckless advice to "build my own custom air filter" out of hardware store scraps because the original part is defunct.

    The Sears Home Services AI phone assistant was absolutely horrendous and would not connect me with a live person when I needed to update scheduling. I had to reach out to CHW for help and they simply told me I had to contact SHS. The two companies are awful at coordinating together. CHW is bad enough, but if they contract with Sears Home Services the consumer is going to be in for a nightmare if they need assistance of any kind.

    Because I thoroughly read the terms of my contract, I recognized this immediately as a trap. If I had followed their vendor's instructions and built a makeshift filter, Choice Home Warranty would have easily flagged it as "owner neglect" or an "unauthorized system modification" to permanently deny any future claim when the unit inevitably failed. When I called Choice customer service to reject this vendor and request a competent second opinion from a different company, the representative for CHW was indifferent to the situation, put me on hold a few times to "see what they can do" and each time just kept repeating policy. All I wanted was a refund of $75.00 service fee and a new company sent out.

    Extortion Duplication Fees: They completely refused to send a different vendor company unless I agreed to pay another $75 service fee for a second opinion. They give you a choice between letting an incompetent company back into your house or paying double to fix their mistakes. I completely refused to play into their sunk-cost trap. I instructed them to cancel the HVAC claim entirely, am letting my contract expire, and have filed a formal BBB complaint demanding a full refund of my contract fees and deductible. They take your money and actively try to trick you into voiding your own policy. Take your business to an honest local contractor instead.

    I've been with Choice for about eight and a half years and my experience with them has been a mixed bag. Choice found a way not to pay for some things that I was led to believe were covered by my policy. I filed a claim about something, and it got fixed. I didn't use the people that Choice was using or recommended. They weren’t gonna pay for it. They just said that it wasn’t covered under the warranty. So, I called my pool guy and he did the repair.

    Something else went out and I filed another claim. Initially, Choice denied it because they said the last thing wasn’t fixed. It was because the person they wanted to fix it was trying to charge me too much. I provided them documentation that the work was done, and it took a minute for them to approve it. It shouldn't have gone that far. Somebody considering Choice should examine all their options and pick the choice that best suits what their needs are as far as coverage. Having the Choice coverage gives me peace of mind that I've chosen the right plan for my personal situation and knowing that, more times than not, things are covered and I'm only gonna be responsible for a deductible portion.

    This will be the first time I’ll make a negative review to a company. I was convinced by a phone inquiry to have my 2 houses under Choice Home warranty & I wasn’t very aware that the whole year’s premium will be deducted from my account immediately. I was used to a monthly premium payment. Anyway, I had 30 days waiting period & on the day the warranty started I made a claim for an AC failure. The company was very skeptical why I filed a claim on the day it was effective. Arizona is extremely hot during last June & how can I wait for 30 days without AC? That was a legitimate claim & talked to 4 Case Managers but I was repeatedly denied for other reasons.

    Then my other house had AC failure too because this summer was extremely hot. Denied again, then an electric failure for the whole house & was denied the 3rd time. Lesson learned, don’t trust Choice Home Warranty esp when you are in hot states because it will take a week to get a Tech to check the defect. I’m extremely frustrated since I’ve served 30 yrs being an RN helping people & now I can’t get help. It’s a shame, soon I’ll try to discontinue the contract & hope to get my money back. I hope this company can read this review.

    I cannot warn you enough to stay away from this company. They outright lie to you about how it will work. I have never had a claim take under 3 weeks. So when your fridge goes out, get ready to use a cooler for 3 weeks. They love to say “Waiting on the technician’s report,” after I literally watched the tech submit the report. It takes days of phone calls to get the ball rolling, then days of waiting for them to approve the work, then days more waiting to get the repair. 100% not worth it. I got swindled into the whole home package. What they fail to tell you is they pay so little that they often straight up cannot find any technician to do the job.

    When my furnace went out, it took over 3 months to finally get a technician to come and then Choice said the job costed too much and i got stuck with the bill. The truth is, no local HVAC repairman will work for peanuts, so you end up having to pay the difference. I feel completely cheated and the aggravation of every claim taking upwards of 3 weeks makes this warranty worthless. Just save your money.

    My refrigerator stopped cooling after a power outage. I contacted Choice to have someone come out and repair it. The technician from Sequía Appliance Repair did not call nor show up for the first appointment. When he showed up for the second appointment he had a younger man with him who did all the work. They made my girlfriend very uncomfortable while they were here. A job that should have taken two to three hours ended up taking them about 8 hours to complete. They told my girlfriend that after 24 hours our refrigerator would be cooling again.

    Here we are almost a week later and it is still not cooling. I contacted Choice and was informed that I would have to pay $159 due to non covered charges. None of these charges were on the repair order they left with us. I contacted Choice and escalated the issue to a case manager. This was no help as she informed me that the additional charges were due to system modification. I have been an auto tech and certified a/c repair tech for close to 20 year. I just do not have the time to fix it myself. After this, I removed the panels to see what exactly they did. I saw a couple unnecessary modifications which are probably the issue. This company is no help in resolving this issue unless I pay for things that should be covered as they are part of completing the job.
