The technician received approval to put a snake in my drain but there was a washer that was old and was coming off which would’ve caused leak. I didn’t like how the technician told me after the fact that I have to pay $35 for a washer to be placed on the sink. This was in addition to paying the $85 service fee. He didn’t ask me prior to doing that or advise me of the fee.

I just purchased the year long policy. I am hopeful that everything "Melvin" told me is true. I'm in a 30 day waiting period. Melvin from New Jersey was extremely knowledgeable, helpful, friendly and professional. Until I ever have to use it, I can't comment on anything else. Sounds excellent. Hope so.

The Service Tech from Sears did a great job! He was friendly...found the issue and ordered a part to fix my Fridge. He bypassed the water filter housing and was able to have water running back to the refrigerator and to the ice maker so I could have ice until he returns to install the water filter housing.

He was very helpful and professional and explained the different plans and discounts available to me. I am changing from my current Home Warranty due to several problems with their contractors and the coverages that were promised caused me additional money then should have been charged to me. Several items should be covered by the warranty but due to their contractors reporting things incorrectly it cost me more money than I should have had to pay. Heard and read a lot of great things about Choice Home Warranty and pray that their contractors explain the repairs appropriately. Time will tell.

My kitchen sink was not draining properly. I was not able to use the kitchen which was very inconvenient. I filed a claim with CHW, and it dispatched the call very soon. But it was not able to find a plumber nearby. It gave me an option of finding my own technician and got reimbursed. Once I accepted it, it sent me the reimbursement instructions, very clear. After the technician submitted his diagnosis, CHW authorized it within 30 min. I got the problem fixed within two days. I am happy with the flexibility and the fast turnaround time. I have just submitted the receipt for reimbursement, which will take 30 days. Hopefully this is also a smooth process, no surprise.

Allowance was too small. I have to pay 65.00 for the initial service call. Then…. ANOTHER 75.00 for a deductible!!!! I wasted my 1300.00+ on this policy. Will NEVER do business with you again. And will advise others the same! The total bill was not much more. Waste of my money.

In the last year my experience with Choice Home Warranty has been very poor. I would not recommend anyone purchase a warranty from Choice. I have had a few claims that were denied that were from normal wear and tear and the lack of communication and understanding from Choice has been very poor.

It was a business deal, no more, no less. I like knowing that my home repairs are covered, even if there are some costs to me, at least some of the costs are defrayed. I also like the fact that I will be covered for the 'surprise' kind of issues that tend to happen. As previously stated, I'll be covered.

No issues with my original sales rep, Kurt even though I was contacted by Kurt and Assaf about my inquiry. I did not know who I should speak to about my inquiry but I was able to eventually speak with Kurt and set everything up. So my first tip is, only have ONE rep contact a potential customer and not multiple reps. My next tip is to not have multiple reps reach out to a new customer the day after they sign up trying to get them to buy more things. Just today I had two separate reps call me and offer me other services. I am happy with what I have, don't try to sell me more. I am concerned that if this is how Choice Home Warranty is, I may have made a mistake in signing up with you all. If I do get any more calls from you all trying to sell me more stuff, I may have to cancel my agreement. Let's see if you actually read this. Thank you.

It took four days to have a technician on site. The replacement amount was not in line with market prices. Way too low. The case manager didn’t show any willingness to help, was strict in pointing to the policy and process. I felt like l was talking to a robot. Was told l have to wait 30 days for either the Lowe's gift card or the check. No one at CHW cared about what l will have to do before the 30 days. I advice that the policy and processing times are communicated at the beginning of the contract not when there’s an incident.

AC went down on a Monday morning, so I call it in for repairs straight away. It took until Thursday and two calls (to Choice Home Warranty) to ask why the delay to get an appt. The appt was set for the next day. The repairman didn't show (appt time 0700 hrs. - 1100 hrs.), even after verifying that It was scheduled for the day given. I called Choice Warranty and spoke to a representative who called the repair company and verified that they would show up on the following Monday.
On Monday morning the repairman showed up, did the job very well and the AC is functioning properly. I gave 4 stars because the issue was NOT with Choice Home Warranty. The problem was with the local vendor. Please keep in mind that Choice Home Warranty has to work with your local repairmen, and you may have problems. I'm pleased with my choice in this Home Warranty company.

We have had Choice for 2 years and never placed a claim until I noticed my washing machine making a noise while spinning. To be proactive we called to have it checked before it stopped working. Choice sent a Sears tech (because we have a Kenmore washer?). The tech was very nice and knowledgeable and stated he was not quite sure if it was the transmission or not. Our washer is 23 yrs old. Anyway when he submitted his findings Choice sent us an e-mail saying "We have decided to replace your appliance!" The e-mail then went on to say they were going to give us $343.00 in a gift card from Lowe's so we could buy a new one.
First of all we paid good money for the warranty and we searched Lowe's website and store and could not find a washer for less than $500.00. So how could this be a good insurance policy? We will NOT be renewing with Choice. What a waste of money. I could have paid Sears myself to come out and fix the machine for less than what we paid for the annual policy thru Choice. What a RIP OFF. Don't waste your money!

I was trying to purchase my month to month policy with monthly payment for my new home when I was offered a 3yr policy paid upfront with discounts. I elected not to take this policy because I did not want to be in a three year deal having no experience using the policy. I was not certain what my experience or costs would ultimately be if I ever needed to use this policy. Instead of honoring my election the salesman continued to push the 3 year deal.

Choice Home does excellent job in getting home appliances repaired. However, they don't provide good coverage if the appliances have to be replaced due to unavailability of the broken parts.

CHW Reps (Janis **, Kelley **) honestly, having them to help me navigate thru the difficulty in communicating with the technicians made all the difference. I am so grateful for and appreciative of these two women.

Choice Home Warranty is the worst and most inept company I've had to deal with. Not only has it taken a week for my new water heater to be approved and Purchase order submitted. Come install day and they ordered the wrong size. Now it has to go through the entire process over because of their mistake. Purchasing is closed over the weekend so nothing can get expedited or resolved. Supervisors here have zero brains in getting things done in a timely manner. Do Not Waste Your Money!

Leaky water line and leaky shut-off valve. While these weren't urgent, they still required professional repair. I have found the true value of the home warranty isn't the peace of mind that if a major system breaks down it is covered. The true value is when these inconvenient little things arise that the average homeowner isn't skilled enough to fix. I have experienced a faulty wall outlet that knocked out electricity to the OTHER side of the room(never would have figured that out).
Dishwasher door seal needed replaced, drain seal on kitchen sink leaking, wiring problem on ceiling light. Simple jobs that if you know what you're doing aren't really difficult. But if you don't, technicians want around $100 just to come to your house. And twice that to make repairs. Or, you could pay a flat $75 and be secure in the knowledge that the job's done right. Thank you Choice Home Warranty. I'm very happy I was smart enough to choose this when we bought the house.

We are new homeowners and have used the home warranty twice. The first time was to deal with a leaking refrigerator, and the second time to ask to have our locks rekeyed. In the first instance, the warranty service went well. A claim was submitted, a technician assigned, and the work was done the same day. We were VERY unsatisfied with our 2nd claim to have our home rekeyed. The technician assigned had an issue with CHW and chose not to follow their policies and refused to do the job. The technician was kind enough to call and tell me they would not be doing the work.
I had to follow-up with CHW three times on this claim because they had no idea it wasn't getting done. Meanwhile, their automated service kept sending me the same email over and over again asking me to let them know when the work was completed. I called to explain what happened and was told that a new technician would be assigned. CHW could not find a new technician, but their system kept sending me the same auto-generated email stating they did.
When I called the 2nd time, the claims assistant was low-key rude while explaining the reimbursement process. She stated that an email was sent to me explaining that we could find our own technician and apply for reimbursement. I received no such email. She then told me I could find the reimbursement link in the CHW claim portal. I could not find the link. She kept insisting it was there--it was not. She had neglected to tell me that there was an extra step involved to find the link. She did not explain the reimbursement "process" well, which led to my next CHW call.
I hung up from that call and found my own technician within 5 minutes. I scheduled for him to come to my home the following day. When I clicked on the reimbursement link the following day, I received a message that reimbursement was no longer available because the claim had been assigned and the work was scheduled for 10/4 (a week in the future). I then checked my email and saw that my claim was assigned to a company in Kansas. At the same time, the technician we hired had arrived. I had to call and cancel the technician assigned on 10/4. Then I had to call CHW and explain I found my own technician because I felt it was unacceptable to wait 3 weeks to have locks rekeyed. The claims assistant informed me that I was using an unapproved technician and that they are not obligated to reimburse the claim.
Apparently, I was supposed to click on the reimbursement link prior to the tech coming out, which would have notified their system to stop looking. This was not explained to me. Even so, I would not have been able to fill out the reimbursement completely because the technician hadn't provided the estimate yet. The claims assistant offered to escalate our claim to a manager. I then received an email with a link to begin the reimbursement process. Their system requires a diagnosis which includes a breakdown of parts, labor, and tax. The technician is supposed to fill this out and then wait to receive a text with an approval code. This is a ridiculous process to follow when you have had to find your own technician. The locksmith we hired did not wish to jump through the hoops. I submitted the diagnosis myself.
The message stated I would receive an approval code via text within the next 10 minutes. It never came. Instead, I received an email stating that more information was needed from the technician. By now, our locksmith had completed the work, and was gone. I deleted this email, and was prepared to just pay out of pocket. A few minutes later, I received a follow-up email asking me to upload a copy of the invoice after the work was done. I did that, and received an automated response that I would receive a reimbursement check in 30 days. I'm not holding my breath.
In my opinion, if a customer has to find their own technician, the only thing they should have to do is fill something out with the technician's name/contact info and upload the invoice. It is unacceptable to expect a technician that is not even contracted with CHW to follow their claims process and onerous requirements. This is a broken system that is not user friendly at all.

Technician is amazing. Choice on the other hand is TERRIBLE, RUDE with horrendous customer service. I believe it’s a scam as it looks for ways not to help and make you pay. I would stay away as far as I can from this company. I’ve had them for a few years and I wish I would have known better many years ago when I started with them. A regretful decision with lots of frustration and dissatisfaction.

The company was great and did a wonderful job. He was professional and courteous and he knew what he was doing. We will definitely use this company again if needed. He came and took care of the job quickly and came when he said he would. Very pleasant young man. Impressive.
