I Had been cooking and was working fine - all at once no power - lights -nothing - we checked breaker box and it was OK - even flipped it off and on but no response at all - no indication of problem before.

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.

The young man that came to repair my heating system was friendly and professional and did a great job, and yes, I have heat! The heater was blowing "cool" air when I turned it on and now the heat is great. Just in time for the winter months.

My furnace wasn’t heating so I went online to create a claim to have someone come out to take a look. I received an email from Choice on the same day that a heating technician was scheduled for Wed of the following week. I had contacted them on a Friday and the weather was back up to the 60’s. The heating guys came out and diagnosed the problem as gas valve not working properly and they submitted their report to Choice immediately and Choice approved the repair. The repair was done same day. I’m very pleased with the outcome.

Have been a Choice Home Warranty member for under a year and recently had an issue with my washer making a lot of noise. Choice sent a repairman within two days of my reporting the issue. It turned out to be a bad motor and currently awaiting installation which is scheduled in two weeks. So far so good with my experience with Choice Home Warranty.

Refrigerator stopped working on a Sunday. Claim filed Monday, rep I talked to said the repairman could come the next day. He came on Thursday. Repairman was excellent. The refrigerator had to be replaced. The process was seamless. However, the payment was made in the form a Lowe's ecard. That limits me to one vendor and their pricing. So it prevents me from getting the best price available. The worst part is that it may take up to 30 days to get the ecard. Who in the world can do without a fridge for 30 days? In this world of electronics should only take 30 seconds! Boo on you!!!

Not good. Choice Warranty doesn't do what it says. Is the second time that I have to replace an appliance but they just want to pay about 1/3 of what it will costs me to buy the other one. So much for "we will replace it for a same one or better"...lol

The gentleman called the day before to confirm appointment and again when he was in route. Although he was not as early arriving as planned, he kept me informed of findings and repaired the problem promptly. He was very polite to my mother who was home at the time. If he'd been on time or called to say he was running late, he'd get five stars/10/10. It's probably a 9/10 now. So we'd recommend them. It did take Choice a little longer than I would have liked to get a technician scheduled. That's on Choice, not the technician.

4th time's a charm. Teksquad was challenging to work with on this project. Our time schedules didn't mesh. They moved 3 appointments and apparently the tech came on Monday 10/24 and was at the gate but didn't leave a message, so I didn't get the call to let him in. Finally, technician came on Tuesday early morning. He did a great job and has ordered a part. Now to wait another 5-10 days.

The plumber was great and in a timely manner. But the list of extras not covered were too expensive to even consider. We got a second opinion and replaced the WH and the extras for half the price Choice quoted. What good is a Home Warranty if you cannot afford to use it?

My experience signing up was fine. But since then, I've gotten an email just about every day trying to get me to buy the security system for my house which I don't want.

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.

I have been paying for this "warranty" service for 5 years. On 9/14/2022, I made my first claim. After assigning and re-assigning my claim three times, as of 10/28/2022, they have never come through with the promised service. Dealing with them by phone was, in most cases, like pulling teeth.

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!

Choice Home Warranty ended up being the most responsive via email. We started with them in September. We had to wait 30 days before they activate it. All we did was get a “Welcome to Choice” email. When you sign up to get a quote, you get many calls. They just keep beating on you and Choice did the same thing. I never realize that it was going to inundate me with emails, phone calls, and text messages. They're brutal. My biggest concern was it was always a one-year deal. I didn't even know they had a three-year or five-year. It was never in the offers. They were really in the hard press to get me to do the one year instead of going for five years or three years for a better price. They just drove and drove, and it made me feel like they didn't truly appreciate me as a customer. They just appreciated the dollars. We kept them though.

Overall I am happy with the service I receive from Choice Warranty. The one area that can be managed better is the supplies that the technicians have.

I tried to turn my furnace on and it would not stay on. I could hear the burners come on then off. I called Choice Home Warranty (8 times) and got the same answer as if they were reading from a cue card! They said they couldn’t find a service company in my area that wasn’t booked up! They recommended I call a company and have that company fix my problem and I would be reimbursed within 30 days! I know how this works! They (Warranty Companies) find something wrong with what or the way I did things and won’t pay me back! I have a $75 deductible through Choice Warranty but would have to pay the whole bill up front then wait for my money!
So after the eighth call to the warranty company when I told them I was contacting the BBB (Better Business Bureau) I magically got an email less than 12 hours later from the warranty company saying they found me a technician to service my furnace! The point is I DID MY PART PAYING FOR THE WARRANTY! Why was it so much trouble for them to solve my problem???? By the way I called 6 service companies within 30 miles of my home and EVERYONE of them said they could schedule me for the next day or day after at the latest!

I put in a request with Choice Home Warranty to have a slow drain cleared. Claim number **. A plumber arrived at my house and Choice Home Warranty refused to authorize service until I proved that a repair was made on a previous claim even though Choice Home Warranty paid a portion of the repair AND it was made by the same plumbing company. If this is an issue why wasn't it brought up before Choice Home Warranty sent someone to my house costing me $65 for nothing? I requested to speak to a manager and was told I would receive a return call within 4 hours. 22 hours and counting and still no call. Choice Home Warranty needs to prove I didn't make the repair (I did), reschedule the plumber to clear the drain and not charge me another $65. So far Choice Home Warranty is marginal at best, and useless at worst. I feel trapped in a policy that is better at denying service than it is at providing any of the services I paid for. Nothing but regrets so far!

I put in a request for service for my air conditioning, because it wasn’t cooling. It is October but still hitting 90 here in Florida. A technician was assigned quickly and the appointment was next day, and I loved the contractor, otherwise this would be a 1 star review. The tech diagnosed the problem quickly and contacted Choice Home for authorization to make the repair. They denied it. They said they needed info from me because they had denied an earlier claim for my air conditioning.
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 **. As soon as I get this resolved, plus another outstanding claim they haven’t fixed, I will be dropping them as well.

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.

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.

On my first go around with Choice Home Warranty, I paid quite a bit upfront which gave me some additional months. I had a fella out here that replaced my garbage disposal. I was pleased about that. But I haven't been very pleased with Choice Home Warranty. I got my air conditioner checked. I've got one system that does both heating and cooling. When I had it checked by a company named Willard, they said, "You've got rust in that pan, and that pan is full of water. If you don't get that fixed, you're gonna have a problem."
I found out from Choice that they don't fix anything until it's broken. The next thing I know, I've got water dripping into my closet, which meant that the unit broken. I told them about it, and they got somebody out here to repair the whole thing. But it was old enough that it had to be replaced. Choice Home Warranty said they would replace the parts, but the guy from the air conditioning company said they don't even make that part by itself anymore. It comes as a kit. I had to replace the whole thing, and it cost me over $7,000. Choice came up with about $1,400 to cover that. It would have been good if I could have called and talked to a person.
