I called to inquire about your program’s ad on FB, and was very pleased. The agent provided great info and sound advice. As a fully retired disabled veteran, I truly appreciate the Vet-friendly your organization provides! Every saved penny is so very helpful.

Your response time and follow-up is ridiculously slow. You have managed to alienate every plumber in Fort Smith so no one will come out if you are involved. All of them complained they did not get timely paid and the time you take to approve a work order costs the plumbing company time and money.

I filed a claim in late April for a fridge/freezer issue. They assigned a Sears technician to come 5 days later, that technician didn't turn up. I had taken the day off work to stay home. Nobody contacted me to reschedule, I had to chase Sears and Choice 15 times to get someone to come out 3 days later. Technician diagnosed the issue, needed to order 2 parts. A week later the smaller (and not vital) part arrived but not the control board needed. I called both Choice and the service agent that day, then 2 days later, then the next day and so on. Nobody could tell me when the part was coming in, the "service dept" was going to call me. No call.
The Choice helpline is an Indian call center and the poor folk there have no power to do anything but offer platitudes. I finally called a local company who arrived the next day, part in hand since I'd given the error code and fixed my unit. I also had to buy a small fridge freezer to keep things cold (I'm in Vegas) for the month plus that this went on. I shall be canceling my payment to this scam company.

For starters, when we purchased CHW we thought that we would get something in the mail about our home warranty. Nothing showed up except the day of sign up was an email thanking us for the purchase. Fast forward 8 months later our A/C unit goes out. I call in and ask how do I file a claim. (Little issue, customer service was not in America.) I explained several times what the problem was. Then I was told that I would get an email with my plan and they would reach out to a repair tech. One week goes by no calls. I call in 9 days from the claim date asking what's my status. All I was told is that no one has answered CHW's request to get my A/C unit fixed. I was then told that they will make some more calls and get me some help. Now week 2 is almost done and I get an email from C/W saying that I can find my own A/C person and I can file the claim. Not what I wanted to do. I paid for a service and I expect them to do it.
Now it's 3 weeks and no A/C (We live in SE Georgia). Call in again and was told, "Give us 24 hrs for this one company to respond." I told this person that I gave 3 weeks! So, I waited 24 hrs and was told no one responded. This person just said, "You need to call a repair tech yourself. That would be faster." So I did and got my repair done on the same day that I called. By the way, this guy does claims through CHW. He never was informed about an issue. Back in 2004 Choice Home Warranty was impressive, now I might be moving onto another company. Cheap labor does not get you good quality. I work in the customer service industry and this service was below sub par. Changes need to be had. Also vetting quality service provides need to be next.

I have 2 AC units one up and 1 downstairs. The downstairs unit stopped cooling and had water problems. This also caused problems with the upstairs unit. I called Choice, they sent a tech out. He wanted on and completed fixing the problems with the downstairs unit. When he finished the problems, it worked properly. He also checked the upstairs unit and it worked properly also when he finished. He did an excellent job, in less than an hour from the time the time the AC tech arrived! I was back up and running. I thank God for my Choice Warranty!

Very professional. Knew exactly what was wrong and fixed it in no time. The repairman told us exactly what he needed us to do and he also told us and showed us exactly what was wrong with the unit. I like the fact that he knew what he was doing and took the time to explain everything he was doing. I would definitely recommend him to anybody that would listen including my friends and family. During the interaction with him I also found out he does a whole lot more than just repair air conditioners. I planned to use him again for other things. He is a very busy man so I would recommend setting up an appointment with him. Choice Home Warranty you are the best and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

On May 26, 2023, I reported my home A/C system had a leak and was running constantly. The company I used for annual service diagnosed the problem and I contact CHW. Five days elapsed and after contacting CHW again I was informed CHW couldn't find an HVAC company in the system to handle replacing the A/C coil. I followed instructions and Had my HVAC company submit a complete diagnosis which they did. Today is June 2, and I still don't have approval. My HVAC company is frustrated and stated CHW has all information to approve the replacement. My last conversation was June 2 with Francis. My conclusion after reading the email to my HVAC company is the CHW authorization team is either incompetent or CHW is trying to deny my claim.

It’s always a pleasure working with Choice Home Warranty. Within two days after submitting my claim a Sears technician was scheduled to inspect my washing machine.

As of this writing, I've had 4 service calls. The first one they came in, told me what was wrong, said they would not fix it. The second they replaced and went about their business. This same item broke 1.5 months later and I had to call again. The appointment was setup, timespan 8-5, they never showed up or called. Your customer service was unprofessional and not helpful at all. I called again and setup another claim. CHW gave me an appt but never reached out to check the tech's availability. He came out, knew it was the ice maker, didn't have one with him so he had to reschedule for a week later. Told us to defrost (which isn't necessary) and remove the box, that's HIS job, not mine.
Final claim on my washer. 2 year old top of the line washer, you offered the buyout option and offered such a low amount I won't even be able to purchase a bottom of the line washer. The person who sold me the policy forgot to mention this option and I didn't pay attention when reading over the contract which is my fault. I've had home warranties with each of my houses and I have never had issues before with the service. If I could get my money back I'd take it and find another company. If this becomes a review that others can see, I would tell them to continue looking for another company, CHW cannot and will not support you overall.

I now have a repeat, requesting for repair but frankly, I would prefer a replacement a new microwave, it was really, really, really a miserable day waiting and waiting and waiting. I canceled my doctor's appointment because I wanted it repaired and again I was told 8 to 5 and then I was told after 1:30 and then three and eventually came sometime after 4:30 PM.

I called Choice Home Warranty at around 9:00 AM on May 31, 2023 to say my garbage disposal wasn't working. Choice had a plumber at my house by around 11:00 AM that same day and in 20 minutes or so he had replaced my worn out disposal with a new and better model. I couldn't be happier with how quickly and efficiently Choice responded and fixed my problem, all for the $45 price of the service call.

My swamp cooler was leaking into my household and caused damage to my bathroom ceiling and I had to contact your company about 7 times to finally get someone out here to take a look at it. He said he wasn't contracted with you guys, but he would have me put in the invoice material and cost and everything which was around $1200. Then you guys wouldn't accept it, so you guys finally a few months later found another technician to come look at it and their estimate was outrageous at $2400 and you guys denied it. That was sad news for my household and I still have a ceiling that needs repaired from the leak that came through.
I took it upon myself and just patched up the leak on top of my house on the roof where water may have worn away the old sealant and replaced that with the tire rubber and it worked out great! No more leak coming through, but my ceiling is still damaged in my bathroom and needs to be repaired. I would hope you can help repair my bathroom ceiling at the least. Thank you for your time and consideration.

I've emailed the CEO, Jim Mostofi, in addition to posting this across all review sites. It's time this company is held accountable for its actions. I've had my policy for 14 months ($798). I filed two claims for an AC unit and a plumbing situation. You sent out a technician who charged me $180.00 for the service calls (it was the same technician). He came out four times, saying he hated coming out here because it was so far. He showed up late every time and fixed nothing with a variety of excuses (i.e., I forgot the equipment at the office).
I called in early May to cancel my membership. I was promised a refund of the service call fees I had paid since nothing was repaired. That's $180.00; I have the receipt (attached). I was promised the month of May for free to give the company another chance but was charged on May 24th, 2023, for $56.93. I was also told they would put my 2 claims in their system again and not send the previous technician. They did so but couldn't find anyone else to come out. I was now on my own to pay my own technicians.
I called today to get my two refunds, as I haven't received them yet. I also asked to cancel my account. The revenue retention person said that I was given incorrect information and that the service call fees weren't refundable (I was told they would get the money back from their technician). And they told me I didn't qualify for the free month of May since I was canceling. But they don't have a technician for my work. I asked for a Manager, and she said she was the most senior. She verbally confirmed the cancellation of my policy but refused to refund anything. If only CHW had processed the promised refunds, totaling $236.93. I suspect your efforts to deal with this situation have already cost CHW much more in payroll for their horrible staff that's had to "not" address the problem.

Updated on 06/15/2023: Choice Home Warranty has the worst Customer Service I have ever had the displeasure to have to deal with. I called on the 12th of June 2023 and spoke to Marj, I think, because I could hardly understand her. First of all she refused to transfer me to the Resolutions Department, whom I spoke to in May, that told me that the check I have been waiting for since 20 March 2023 was going to be sent right out. This Marj first told me that a check for $155.00 was sent to me in January 2023 via the USPS, which I told her I never received, then she says they can send me another check within 30 days at my cost of $30.00 or for free in 90 days.
I told her she was crazy (this phone call was supposedly recorded, I hope) and that I was not paying $30.00 nor waiting 90 more days and would she please transfer me NOW!!! This went on for over an hour, Marj would repeat her offer and I would say, "No, TRANSFER ME PLEASE!!!" Finally, after an hour and 17 minutes Marj says, "I can transfer you now." Now, I am guessing she was trying to wear me down or some such crap because I had been asking/telling her from the first minute of our conversation to please just transfer me and do not put me on hold, but she put me on hold anyway at least a half a dozen times after that. So then I had the pleasure of speaking to Yevet, finally a voice of reason. She explained that back in February 2023 I had mistakenly sent my invoice to the wrong department and that someone called me to share that info on 6 June 2023, but I missed the call and my voice mail was full.
The bottom line I feel is that customer service has very, very bad data on the screen in front of them causing them to tell me stuff that was not true. Case in point, Yevet explained to me the check was cut but never sent out in January 2023. So, on 13 June 2023 I spoke to Lance about 3:30pm and told him I followed Yevet's instructions to send my invoice to "Reimbursement" but I got a message saying, "I was not authorized a Reimbursement." after I hit submit. Lance said try it again and do it while on the phone with customer support. Around 6ish that evening I called and spoke to Steve while sitting with my son's girl friend, who is very computer literate and we both shared with Steve what we were doing to submit my invoice. Well, all we kept hearing from Steve was, "this is weird...this is weird...this is weird" after every time we followed his instructions to the letter, but got the same message, "not authorized for a Reimbursement".
Finally Steve said to put a message into the request that it would not let me submit it as a Reimbursement and watch for an email within 24hours from Choice Home Warranty. Well, it is 10 pm, 14 June 2023, eastern zone time and no email from Choice, no check from Choice, NOTHING but lip service from Choice...No one should be put through this ** for so ** long no matter what department my invoice was missent to, this is totally unacceptable with today's technology...I am currently sending texts and emails to every home owner I know explaining the ** that Choice Home Warranty has put my wife and I through since 20 February 2023...(I tried to give 0 stars, but I had to click on 1 so I could submit this, which is very sad...)
Original Review: Choice Home Warranty has a 30 day reimbursement policy. They received my invoice on 20 February 2023 and as of 30 May 2023 I have yet to receive my reimbursement. I did speak to a Choice remediation person earlier this month, but no check has showed up. I mentioned a full reimbursement of $220.00 instead of $155.00, due to the time that I have been without my money and she said, "oh no, we can't do that." I feel Choice Home Warranty is not a customer caring company and I would not recommend them to anyone.
