We have been Choice customers over 2 years. This year, the service and response on our claims was awful. Starting with a refrigerator that took 3 weeks to repair, and ending with a possible $5500 out of pocket fiasco when we made a claim on the AC that stopped working (8-21-19). Choice sent over a technician (AirKnights) promptly, and they diagnosed that the furnace blower motor was not working, and without it the AC couldn't work. But they also red tagged the furnace as unsafe due to a cracked heat exchanger.
We waited for Choice to process the claim, and they accepted the blower motor at a cost of $275, which they said could be put towards a new furnace which they were NOT covering. We appealed the decision and for weeks were passed around to various Choice personel who were unresponsive, did not understand Choice's own policies or the workings of either the AC or furnace. They settled on "rust or corrosion" as the reason for the denial, and we asked how they determined that. They kept referring back to the technician (AirKnights) who originally came out to diagnose the claim.
Airknights has said very clearly that they did not make the diagnosis...They determined the crack was due to normal wear and tear, and confirmed that in writing to both customers and Choice. After 3 weeks of escalating the claim, we got bids from another contractor and AirKnights for furnace replacement. Both came in around $4k, and it was so hot and taking so long to get on their schedules that we chose to move forward with Airknights to install the new furnace (because Choice also indicated if we worked within their network we'd be entitled to their "discounted" rates).
It was 9-20-19 when the furnace was finally installed, and at the end of that very hot Friday afternoon, the AC still did not work. Airknights made a further diagnosis that the AC evaporative coil was leaking, and needed to be repaired in order for both the AC to work (and to protect the new furnace). Again, we spent hours on the phone with Airknights, saying we still were not satisfied with the denial on the furnace and now the new AC coil claim needed to be addressed because we had been without AC for a month! They said they had to close out the old claim to start the new one, but gave us the authorization number for Airknights to call so the AC evaporative coil could be covered.
Both Airknights and my sister spent hours trying to get through to the authorization line, and she became very stressed because she thought the technician might die of a heat stroke during the ordeal. The only way to cool off was to take cold showers. After much discussion with technician and the owner or Airknights, it was decided they would proceed with replacing the evaporative coil and submit pictures to Choice just as soon as they opened again (this was late on Friday).
Even after the weekend, not all went smoothly as the fan motor was not connected properly and there was a smell of gas. Airknights did come back to address those issues, and we paid $4076 for the furnace install... Still hoping Choice would accept their covered diagnosis of normal wear/tear and age. After another week went by, and we quizzed Airknights as to whether Choice had responded with the authorization on the evaporative coil, they said most likely Choice would call us directly.
They did not, but when my sister decided to go online to update the claim with more information, she read that they had denied the AC evaporative claim a week earlier due to "Rust and Corrosion". Again, we asked the technician if that was their diagnosis, and they said NO! With regard to the furnace, the cracked heat exchanger was not rust or corrosion which causes small holes...It was a CRACK! And they did not diagnose either rust or corrosion with the evaporative coil...They provided pictures on both claims where no rust or corrosion was present.
We immediately appealed the second denial, and were assigned to a case manager. Airknights wants to be paid for the evaporative coil, and we want the maximum policy amount of $1500 for both the AC and the furnace. These claim managers are never available to talk...You always get a recording and then they say they'll call you back in the order received. I am currently working with Choice case manager Jackie ** and she agreed to keep both cases open while she reached out to AirKnights to confirm their written diagnosis, and to figure out if we received the discount mentioned in Choice's first response about furnace replacement. We could be looking at charges upward of $5500, and Chase only sent a check for $275, which doesn't seem to be in good faith given that both furnace and AC are covered up to $1500 each for issues related to normal wear and tear.
The sad thing is, I wanted to give more business to Choice (since our first year was a much better experience, and the $45 service call is the lowest I'd seen). If they had done the right thing on both claims, and not taken so long to get unintelligable responses, we would still be good customers. But now Airknights has me questioning their ethics and has mentioned they are the most difficult home warranty company to work with. Please reach out to us-Jody and Sue

After comparing warranties, I decided on Choice. They were courteous, did what they stated, and were easy to work with. They offered me an amazing price, and with the V.I.P. package locked it in for life.

On Nov 4th, I requested to get a quote from Choice. I got a call from Kyle at 11:13am (732-379-5309). We talked for about 10 minutes. I ultimately told him it sounded like a good deal, but I wasn't ready to make any changes just yet as I already had a Home Warranty provider. I told him I WOULD CALL HIM if I wanted to do anything. I got a call from him again at 1:40pm. When he told me who he was, I hung up the phone. He called me right back after that, then again one minute later!
That same day, I received a call from 888-531-5403. It was a guy who I think said his name was Tom from Choice. I told him I had talked to Kyle already & that if I wanted to switch companies, I would let him know. He said to me "well why did you click for a quote if you weren't ready to switch?" I told him I am the kind of person who makes my own decisions at my own time, so them constantly calling was not the way to earn my business. He constantly talked over me and made rude remarks. When I eventually got to the point where I was like "at this point, I am no longer considering you all" he hung up on me!
I received a call the next day (Nov 5) at 2:31pm from the 732 number, I didn't answer. I got another call at 5:50pm from the 888 number. I answered. It was a person named Damian. I asked him to remove me from the call list and he hung up on me. The crazy thing is, I was actually going to switch because the price was a little lower than what I am paying now, but now I am not. Their sales staff is very incompetent and nasty. Altogether, I received 7 calls from them when I told them on the first one, I would call them back. I would rather pay more for better service!

Todd arrived an hour later than scheduled. Expressed to him an I30 code on dishwasher that he witnessed. He took some pictures inside and of the model and ID number noting manufacture date. Didn't have any testing type devices to diagnose the issue and about 15 minutes later said he's reporting dishwasher as un-repairable. Don't understand this. Didn't receive any documentation except he said the latch could be an issue. The latch was Not and Never has been an issue. Puzzled why a parts & labor estimate wasn't given. Waiting for information from Choice apparently for purchase a new one when dishwashers last 8-10 years, cost $700 and ours is not yet 3 years old.

Fine Print in contract states 1500 cap. This will not buy a new air conditioner. Company considers any leak on an air conditioner is due to rust, therefore it is not covered. You are still charged for a technician to come out, even if they refuse to fix it. Technician can take weeks to send information to Choice, therefore your unit is not fixed for weeks. The lines are also not 24/7 as stated.

This company works hard to deny your claims. They denied a simple refrigerator repair yet charged me $85 for the service call. They denied a plumbing repair but once again, charged me the $85 service call, which they actually submitted for me because they said that I submitted it incorrectly and in order to get them to pay for the camera it had to be set up a different way so they were taking care of that in order for the claim to be approved. They are a lot of work and you will spend an immense time on the phone with them so be prepared. It will only end in denial and frustration.

I'm not happy with the vendor {King & Sons}. They were trying to cover their **. They came out on 10/23/19 to work on the disposal and said they repaired it. We did not have a need to use the disposal for at least a week or so. When we did it started smoking and burned up. At my request I ask for the same vendor to return not wanting to pay the $65 fee again. This time they replaced the unit and were leaving the tech came back after going to his truck to drive off and said I need $50 permit fee. Being new to the area and new to {Choice Warranty} I paid it.
With that being said I check with other vendors and their permit fees are $15. The permit actually cost $8 check with the city of Lincoln. Bottom line King and sons were pissed because I would not pay a additional $65 for something they should done the first time they came out. Choice did everything I could ask for so I'm not holding you guys responsible for them but I thought you should know how your vendors treat your customers.

We have had Choice home warranty for several years. We have not filed any claims, because the two times in the past that we've called for service, our claims have been denied. These weren't large items, and we wanted to be covered in the case of a major system or appliance, so we kept the coverage and renewed again a few months ago. We are long time home owners and real estate professionals. We have referred many clients to home warranty companies in the past. However, we have been completely screwed over and scammed by Choice Home Warranty. We finally had a real issue arise with our home and needed to use our warranty that we have been paying on for years.
After an entire day trying to get a plumber assigned to our claim, we had to finally call around and find our own plumber to come and give us an estimate. Our water heater broke and was leaking water all over the attic and we had no hot water. It needed immediate attention. The licensed plumber said it failed due to age which should definitely be covered. He called Choice Authorization department and explained to them that the unit failed due to age and it needed to be replaced. He sent them the bid. They denied it. They said it's not covered because there was the possibility of rust contributing to the failure.
They honestly just made up whatever they wanted to include to have a reason to deny our claim. We have paid thousands of dollars in premiums to them for a "total protection plan" and now we are just stuck with a very expensive replacement of a water heater that they will not cover. We have been robbed and scammed and can not say enough bad things about this company.

So I have had this company for a year now and our gas furnace stopped working so we filed a claim. Well the tech came ou to fix it and said it needed to be replaced. The company said they denied the claim due to the reason the furnace needs to be replaced is a piece has rust in it. Well the the part that cracked of course that is one of the pieces that they do not cover under their warranty! Well after looking at the fine print of this warranty there is A LOT they don’t cover in The furnace so I feel like they really won’t replace the furnace no matter what happens to it really! So I have canceled my account with this company and will no longer do business with them as I feel that I just dumped money into a company that will find any loophole they can in order to not replace bigger ticket items.

Apparently, CHW has thousands of loopholes to not honor home repairs. I could go into numerous issues, but the main one was a failure to cover a septic cleaning. I paid extra each year for an annual septic pumping. The previous year it took them 4 months trying to figure out how to get it pumped. They paid me in an effort to get me to renew. I then thought I would be able to trust them to reimburse me the next year. I had not trusted them to do that at first nor did the companies. I had been told the next year to have a technician call them when they arrived to pump my septic.
I scheduled my pumping for a Saturday. When the tech arrived, we called CHW. (The closest place was an hour away--due to me living in the mountains.) We called and were told they couldn't do it that day because no one was there to do the claim. I said, he is here and drove an hour from an hour away. I even shared it was a hundred dollars less than the prior year. They said sorry to have him come back during the week and call again. Of course, I could not get charged and told them I had to let him pump, but to put down that we did follow procedure and called in as directed. The pumping is something that I am entitled to with the septic add on. They turned around and denied my claim since I let the technician pump the tank. I told them that I did exactly as told, and I was never told that it could not be done on a weekend.
We have done other calls on the weekend. Trust me, you need a lawyer to go through their loopholes. Their goal is not to pay and not take care of their customers. Save your money. I also had a call about a roof leak because I was given free roof coverage the year before to renew with them. The lady couldn't find it, but she asks me to find the email. I found it and let her know I had it. Easier to deal with it myself than them. I should have known they were idiots after the first year of not being able to figure out my pumping. I chalked that up to none of the businesses accepting their money. BUYER BEWARE with CHW.

You purchase 13 months. That’s what you're paying for but you cannot use the warranty till after 1 month. They profit 1 month. Another if you decide to purchase your unit goes out. They send a tech out. If your unit looks dirty inside they will deny the claim regardless. Because in small print states you need to keep your maintenance up. Thirdly. Ask how they get their techs. I did. They have a company apply by application. There’s a 30 day grace period before they're hireable. That’s it.
Here was my problem. Tech was sent out. I reside in AZ. It was 108 the day the tech came out. He stated I had no Freon? Insurance denied claim. I called around. Got second opinion. There was a leak the tech didn’t find. Home warranty didn’t honor that claim because company wasn’t contracted. It pissed me off because the other tech didn’t find the issue. To find out the company home warranty sent me had a lot of complaints. Home warranty also had 6 claims against this yr alone. Read the small print. Do your research.

Choice Home Warranty was the biggest mistake I made. A few of my family members chose Home Sheild for their home protection. Choice was cheaper and they seemed to cover more so I went with Choice thinking I was getting a better deal. Man was I wrong. When each of my family members filed a claim with Home Shield, their claim was approved and approved quickly. Their problems were fixed immediately as well. I file a claim with Choice and my claim is immediately denied. Preexisting conditions they explained.
I don't live in a new house. Everything in my house is going to have some preexisting condition. They were always going to deny any claim I filed due to preexisting conditions. This company is a fraud. I gave them a 1 star because they are wonderful while trying to get you to purchase a policy. But once you give them your money, the customer service is terrible. Please don't trust this company. They frauds and they are one huge headache. Not to mention they will not give you a full refund of what you pay them.

This company is very good for getting covered appliances repaired but they do have one bad coverage issue. Here's my story: Our 5 year old Kenmore washer broke and CHW dispatched a service repair man to fix it. He assessed the issue and CHW decided it was not worth repairing and that they would replace the machine. Here is where I feel CHW has failed in a big way.
Our Kenmore Elite washer sells for $799 but CHW only offered us $349 to replace it. Their excuse was that they do not promise to replace the washer with an identical unit and they only offer an amount of money based on their discounted price for a unit with similar features. Unfortunately we cannot find anything with similar features anywhere near $349 and, although CHW tells you what their discounted cost is, they do not have anything in place to assist customers in finding anything near their discounted price.
After spending time discussing our concern, CHW finally agreed to send a check for $500 which still leaves us with over $400 out of pocket expense not to mention taxes, delivery and the $45 service charge we already paid. That being said, CHW is great for getting repairs handled quickly, just be aware their Replacement policy is not what most customers expect when they purchase a Choice Home Warranty policy.

I researched several home warranty companies and yours was a top rated one. I called to get rates, and don't recall the name of the man I spoke to. He was informative and I appreciated him telling me about the three and five year discount programs. Then he really started to pressure me, and continued to do so even after I told him I didn't have the money to buy the five year plan, while it was a good deal. It got to the point where he kept pushing and it got upsetting. I am only working part time and living on a small pension, which I told him but he kept pressing for the five year plan. My advise is to LISTEN to who the sales guy is talking to and RESPECT when told it isn't affordable, instead of keep pushing! This upset me a lot! And this is the reason for four stars instead of five. Otherwise, I am happy to get the coverage for the price I paid.

I went with Samsung to repair Compressor. Samsung guy said, "Refrigerator compressor seal opened so we do not work on seal opened refrigerator." I reached Choice Home warranty on this and they said that, "You need to talk to the technician. We can't do anything on this." The cost of my refrigerator in 2013 was $2500.

The representative I spoke with was not friendly at all, and finally offered me $600.00 telling me that, that was the most they would pay, and that they could buy a comparable refrigerator for that price, but would not tell me where. After considering this, I decided I had been scammed, and had better take what I could get. I called the representative back, and was told I could expect a check in 20 to 30 days.

Initial Contact and Sign Up. The rep was too persistent with his upsells after signing me up for the total package. He kept repeating it did not benefit him but me. Not sure why he kept emphasizing that. Let the product sell itself. He quickly ended the call when he saw I would not agree to upgrading to a senior package. I'm not yet 55. He said he did not know why I would want to pay for a $700 package when I could have one cheaper if I would only agree to an annual renewal. I believe first time customers should have the opportunity to utilize your services then decide if they want to move forward with annual enrollments.
I had one final question and while asking it, the sales rep disconnected the line. He had my credit card number so I guess he thought there was no need to talk further. All agents should ask if there is anything else they can do before abruptly ending the call. I called back the next day to remove the Limited Roof Leak because I have a flat asphalt roof on the house. I specifically told the first rep I spoke to when inquiring about the online ad that I had a flat roof and he said it would be covered. Glad I read the fine print. The Resolution Manager quickly removed that coverage and said I would see the refund to my account in 15 days.
Incidentally, I also got a call on my cell phone the following day from CHW to discuss installing a new home security system. The upsells never stop so be prepared. I do like that everything is clearly spelled out in the pdf benefits package sent via email once the enrollment is complete. Hate that not only are the sensors not covered on the garage but the rollers/springs are not covered either. CHW allows a 30 day review and cancellation. Will see how it all works out during the next 13 months. Other reviews have commented on how prompt they are when filing a claim. Having a home warranty does give me peace of mind.

The company reached out to us and offered me the number that at the very least I needed to get in order to get something similar to what we had. It still required money out of my pocket to get the exact same thing. 3 stars is probably generous considering it took me 3 separate phone calls that were all lengthy. Only after I submitted this review did I get a response with someone willing to assist me. The one bright spot is that it took less than 24 hours (although I did reply with a private message and they never responded). I understand they are trying to make money but to be so reactive and not customer centric is a pretty terrible formula for a company. I'm still not sure I would recommend this company. If one has to put up a real fight every time something happens when they purchased protection, it really doesn't seem worth it. Be better than me and do a little more research into the companies that provide home warranties.
Original Review: Oct. 30, 2019
We are not being given an honest number on what it will take to replace our convection oven. We were told the amount would be "based on the national average price of a Range with similar features, capacity and efficiency". Then, we were given the number $299. This isn't a number that could replace the most basic oven. We called back twice and expressed our concern because it is not possible to replace a convection oven at this amount. They increased the amount by 150 but I'm still frustrated because that doesn't line up with the earlier statement. "National average of a range with similar features, capacity, and efficiency" would easily put this number in the mid 600s and that's not the average that's the lowest.
Despite this fact I'm concerned that if something more costly goes wrong I'm going to be left with a majority of the responsibility to replace. What is the point of going with a warranty plan if it cannot at its most basic level replace the unit I had prior? This company is not being intellectually honest with its customers and looking for any way to get out of the service they claim to offer. I've now been without a working oven for over 3 weeks and I've been told that it will take 72 hours to escalate to a director that is going "tell me the same thing". I don't think I'm being unreasonable to expect that this be handled in a more professional manner with the slightest bit of integrity.

I paid $698 for my warranty only to find that every time I needed service; there were no service people in my area or they were the worst of the worst. I ended up getting my own person nearly every repair and then the battle to get reimbursed began. Their approval line seems to be answered occasionally and I had more than three contractors say they couldn’t sit longer than 20 minutes for approval. So that means your claim is denied. Then I have to jump up and down screaming to get the warranty coverage I paid for.
One of their genius contractors showed up and fixed the wrong item. Another never showed at all. A third quoted almost $2000.00 to fix a pool pump my contractor fixed for $300. Today was the last straw. Pool heat pump goes out. Our guy quotes $959 to fix. They, of course had no technicians available so we go the reimbursement route yet again. This time I find out their ambiguous wording says heat pumps aren’t covered, but every other type of pool heater is. I’m told this is to keep costs low. Keeping costs low would be nice; getting contractors who show up, bring their own tools, fix the correct items and coverage on what you expect would also be nice.

Said it would not be covered because of corrosion on the Evaporative coil & leakage. 10/01/2019 AC tech returned to do leak test & refill Refrigerate at my expense. "No Leaks Found"! He added 4-1/2 lbs. of refrigerate & said it was fixed, $390.99.
(10/12/2019): Update: Air Conditioning is still not fixed, running water into garage for a week. We had a couple of cool days when Air Conditioning wasn't running & pan overflow into garage quit running water. However when AC started back up overflow pan started running water into garage again (5-10 gal every 24 hours. CHW (Glendalys ** & BBB) confirmed check for $435.99 is being paid back to me for money spent. Repair is still not Complete & should be per CHW (Glendalys ** & BBB). CHW advertisement using George Foreman states "you will never have to pay for another home repair again" with CHW!
Update on 10/14/2019. I am adding more information as of phone call on October 14 @ 3:08pm cst. Glendalys ** called to say she never sent the refund for $435.99 on 10/04/2019, but offered a $700.00 check & I would be responsible for my own repairs. Knowing Leak Test showed no leaks, but Glendalys ** said Air Force Cooling confirmed 3 times that there was a leak. Although their receipt to me says "no leaks found". She went on to say it was leaking at corrosion on the Evaporator Coil. I did ask that they send another AC company for a 2nd opinion, they refused! So I called & talked to another AC Tech with over 30 years experience. This is what he said: "ALL Evaporator Relay Coils have corrosion. If you have a leak in yours CHW has to fix it per The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) law."
However CHW can't fix it because the part is no longer available for a unit using R-22 refrigerate (cost anywhere from $400.00 to $600.00 for part if you found one). Again per The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) CHW would have to replace the Central air unit (this is why I have a warranty company). So CHW is trying to get out of paying to fix the unit, because of it using R-22 Refrigerate & they need to replace the entire central air unit. New Central air unit $8,000.00-$10,000.00. I hope this helps you understand more fully what I am going through. I think because I'm a senior citizen I feel CHW has been taking advantage of me. This is the 1st repair I called CHW since buying a 5 year VIP plan, paid in full upfront in June. I've had other Home Warranties & never this problem.
Update 10/9/2019: 1st CHW said "we don't cover leak test" (suggested by tech) & refused to cover repair. 2nd CHW said there was rust/corrosion found on the evaporator coil & said there must be a leak there. Sadly enough that is not covered because of rust/corrosion (assuming there was a leak there). Although leak test showed no leaks on invoice, but techs claims different. Where is the proof? 3rd CHW refused to cover or finish repair (still having trouble with unit). I ask for to "get a 2nd opinion", but CHW said no. I now do not trust Air Force Cooling to touch my unit, because they can't tell me or CHW the same story. Seems like CHW doesn't cover AC units if the sun is shining.
CHW said they sent a check on 10/04/2019 to pay me back for out of pocket, but never did. 10/14/2019 CHW said they sent a $700.00 check for expenses, but never did. I still would like repair finished, with guarantee & paid back for out of pocket $435.99. Also would like a full refund on 5 year warranty $2,100.00 & cancel policy, since this is my 1st claim. CHW has covered nothing & yet wants to prorate a refund from June, including deducting out of the refund what I already paid as if they paid it!

Awful! I have always had a Home Warranty Company and decided to switch to Choice Home Warranty this year. I filed a claim because my furnace wouldn't start up and needed one 2 parts replaced and it was denied due to squirrels dropping nuts down the vent pipe? Are you kidding me?! What a lie. Having a small issue with your furnace is exactly why you would want to buy a Home Warranty Policy. I am definitely going back to my old company (HWA). Choice Warranty did nothing to address my concerns and would rather lose my business than replace a few inexpensive parts.

Diagnostics indicated the back plate and circulating fan needed replacement. This was accomplished by removing the back plate to access the fan. Tech 1 removed and replaced the back plate as I recall, he also reinstalled drawers and shelf covering back plate receptacle. Tech 2 removed drawers and shelf to replace the back plate and fan. There was some difficulty noticed during removal. He installed new plate and saying he was done, left abruptly. The drawers and shelf was not reinstalled. We were to allow time to defrost the evaporator coils, which we were doing. While inspecting for defrosting it was noticed that the receptacle that the back plate sits in was cracked in two places on the corners. The purpose of the redesigned backplate was to assure water was diverted from the fan. Now there is a gap left allowing water to access the fan due to the cracks on the corners. Additional help is needed.

I would definitely be more cautious on those ratings with 5 Stars as they were probably written by people for Choice. I think I must have done one too. They pay for a small repair and then entice you by saying they will give you a couple of months of coverage for free or a "free" service call if you could write a good review for them. I know I was approached by them in a similar fashion. So please do your homework and look before you leap. They were bold enough to tell me that "all" home warranty companies have complaints against them but yet they are still in business!! That itself proves how they are out to get innocent people!!

Brittany assured that, within a few minutes after the call, I would receive two e-mails. One detailing the specifics and terms of the "Total Coverage" I procured, and another confirming the addition of limited roof coverage. I did receive an e-mail detailing Total Coverage; however, the policy states that limited roof repair is optional at additional cost. That's is not what I was sold.

I felt fairly confident about my choice today choosing Choice Home Warranty until I reviewed the policy after paying in advance one month. I currently have Old Republic and have been mostly satisfied with their service, but at what I feel is a premium monthly rate. (No pun intended!) The salesperson for Choice Home Warranty who called me is very good at what he does. And that is to sell. He could've sold ice to Eskimos. However upon review the things he didn't disclose is the limitations Choice puts on their repair or replace items.
For example, the $1500 repair or replace limit placed on an air conditioning and/or heating unit when replacing could be upwards of $6000+. Yes the monthly premiums are way low. Yes the service fee is a lot lower, but so is the service maximums. And for that reason I am calling to cancel this warranty. Thank you for your time and consideration. Let's hope the sales person didn't forget to disclose properly or fibbed on whether the premium I paid today is refundable!

The appointment was timely and the service technician was very good and finished the job in a reasonable time. HOWEVER, I received a determination on claim ** saying Choice would not pay because it was a “maintenance” issue. The drain in the kitchen sink was leaking around the outside rim. The plumber had to loosen it and put in some plumbers putty to stop the water from leaking under the sink. How could I have prevented the plumbers putty from wearing away under normal use. A homeowner should not be expected to remove a sink drain and apply putty. That is why I have Choice Home Warranty.

CHW techs said the ac works fine and would fill the Freon. We had four CHW techs out and the fifth was a no show. That’s when we called a company on our own which showed us right away our ac unit upstairs wasn’t working at all.
Short story choice said we could get reimbursed but didn’t tell us the process. We bought the new ac turned it into choice which said we didn’t follow their process so we would not get reimbursed. Later said we didn’t get reimbursed due to the ac leaking which corroded the coils therefore doesn’t fall under “wear and tear”. Second issue toilet leaking, external tech followed CHW process to get us reimbursed BUT the lack of communication was Choice said “yes, we will reimburse you” but didn’t say only at their pricing. The cost was $298 and Choice emailed us letting us know they will reimbursement us $75. When I called to let them know they didn’t say anything to us about the price difference over the phone. They just said they apologized it wasn’t discussed. Lack of faith in them. Seems very shady.

Last Sunday, our water alarm sounded that we have a leak. Discovered leak coming from a 3" drain line to bronze elbow. Called Choice warranty and they sent out a plumber within the next two days. In the meantime slowed the leak with a 3" rubber drain boot. The plumber came to our house and examined the situation. Paid him the $60.00 and he left. No news for a couple of days. Called our claims specialist and left several messages. On Monday she called back denying the claim stating corrosion was the factor. Hmmm?? Corrosion on a copper pipe? Not present since there was no blue green stain anywhere on the pipe.
And yes I am a metallurgist. The joint was clearly a solder joint failure on our 45 year old house. The plumber did not even remove the boot to examine the leaking joint. Solder joints do wear out and this is one of the pitfalls with copper drains where compared to PVC. Asked the CHW claims person how the plumber justified the "corrosion claim" since the boot was not removed. The CHW claims specialist quoted the obscure section of the warranty citing corrosion. Again no corrosion was present. Unfortunately settled for a $100 refund check that is "still in the mail". Will search for a better company after State and Federal charges are filed.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY OR TIME!!!! I was denied an AC repair by Choice Home Warranty. The denial stated they would not replace the part because the unit was "Dirty", which caused the part to break. After speaking with Total AC, they stated this was not true, and that the part warped due to normal wear and tear. I then disputed the case and was assigned to a case worker. She places me on hold, and comes back and states that the AC company told her the unit was "Filthy" and that is what caused the issue. In disbelief, my husband calls the AC company and they have absolutely no record of the call, and assured him that they would not say that.
I was then assigned another case worker and she said the AC company probably had the wrong account up when she called. We then were told it was not maintained and that is what caused the denial. Again, a different technician comes out to actually repair the part, because we had no choice but to move forward, and states this is a clean unit and the part warped due to normal wear and tear. We took pictures of the unit before it was replaced, and we were also given the part to keep as proof. We have been so disregarded and ignored during this process, and are not out almost 1,000 dollars when we thought we were protected.

I wish I can give minus stars. Beware!! I don’t write reviews until I get consistence best or worst service. I am giving stars based on below experience I have over some time:
1) Recently Water was leaking in inlet pipe of my water heater. I called Choice Warranty and they sent technician (the technician was third party). He looked just from far and said you have to replace the water heater since Installation was wrong. So, my claim was denied. Can you believe that! The inspection was passed by city and it works from very long time. I asked to appeal. They said you have to get your technician to appeal; and he has to call on number given by case rep. before he starts working. Well, I called technician and he looked in to issue. Days passed before my technician came so there was little rust since water was leaking. Technician said this could be issue due to leak however he needs to open the pipe before conclusion. No one is magician that by looking at issue you can give result. He called the number and mentioned this. The guy fixed the issue by changing the pipe. The washer was bad (due to normal wear and tear). Insurance denied the claim saying this was due to rust (which my technician said based on observation not by actual work) and they don’t cover. The guy clearly mentioned in bill the issue was due to washer. Choice Warranty get away and paid nothing.
2) I called for the leaking toilet since there was minor crack in toilet bowl. The insurance said they are not sure they can cover this issue and I have to pay technician 45$ for visit. I called local guy and get it replaced in 75$. What a scam.
3) I called them for attic fan. They said the same. It is not covered.
4) I called for heating since my daughter room was not getting heat. The third-party technician came and said it was issue with installation and they can’t fix it. Surprised I was surprised too. This was working and guess what? I ended up doing, paid 150$ and it was minor issue with connection with furnace.
So, no matter what you call them for no claim is covered. Don’t buy this if you haven’t bought. If you already bought it welcome to family. I wish some lawyer can take them to justice since all they do is get the money and no service provided.

He was friendly at first, then became very pushy and rude when I told him I need to talk with my wife and to call back in 10-15 minutes or give me a number so I could call him back. He was rude and I finally said, "Don't call me back, I'm done with your company" and I hung up. DON'T use them, I will pay more for another warranty company if I have to, before I will ever subscribe to them.

I recently purchased a new home, which is about 10 years old. Went with Choice Home Warranty as the reviews seemed good. I have submitted 2 claims for my air conditioner, two separate times. Both have been denied. I agree the sales reps were outstanding, mine also "spoke with a supervisor" to get a lower rate for me, but actually having the work covered is another story. I have canceled my warranty and will sign back up with American Home Shield, that I used in another state with a previous home. Home shield covered 100% of my claims that I submitted on a faulty hot water heater. Please don't make the same mistake and fall for the reviews, which majority are regarding the sales rep.

I have a 50% coverage rate with CHW. I had a sump pump fail and a water heater leak. Both normal wear and tear failures, but in their fine print they found ways out of coverage. The water heater tank developed a leak and began to flood the basement. Thinking I would be covered, I wasn't worried. But somehow they don't cover the actual tank. Now I am stuck with the $1800 bill to replace my water heater and the process delayed the repairs for a day. That means no showers, no laundry, no dishes, etc. The sump pump was a less expensive venture, but still left a bad taste in my mouth.
I've had their *services* (term used loosely) for 14 months and when I wanted to look at buy-out options, they said they'd refund me 6.8% of my original purchase price. So it's not even worth cancelling at this point. I bought a 6yr plan. Seems to be a coin toss whether or not they will repair our next problem. How you can list on your website that you cover a water heater, and then begin to dissect the parts within and decide what is covered is poor business practice. Not only that, it seems you specifically exclude the parts that are the most prone to failure. Cover it wholly or don't at all!!! My advice is to read and fully understand all the Terms and Conditions before buying any home warranty. You would likely be better off putting the purchase money into an emergency fund savings acct instead.

When we bought our home in Dallas, GA, a little over a year ago, it came with a $500 warranty from Choice Home Warranty. We realized a few months ago we probably wouldn't renew the policy when it expired this month because it doesn't seem worth the money based on what is actually covered. Over the past three months, their sales staff has harassed us non-stop. I received two or three phone calls PER DAY from them, plus at least two emails every day and an occasional text. I asked them THREE times to stop calling me because they were disturbing me at work. One salesman actually laughed at me before I hung up. Now that the policy has expired, they are STILL bothering us! I blocked all of the phone numbers from New Jersey, but one just slipped by this morning. I am at my wit's end. LEAVE US ALONE!!!!!

We received a home warranty from them per our closing agreement for our new house. We've used them twice, water heater and furnace, and both times they didn't cover what needed to be fixed. Each time there was fine print to show they didn't cover what we needed. There is so much fine print for each of the systems/appliances covered you'll never get anything fixed. That fine print is not readily available until after you purchase the home warranty and get the details of the contract. Completely worthless!! If I could give them negative stars I would! We've talked to customer service (and up the chain) about these issues and they just come back to the fine print. Good for them but terrible for customers!

We recently purchased a Choice Home Warranty as our first home warranty, ever. Our home is nine years old and we heard this is the best time to get a home warranty. When doing research we read the reviews on Choice Home Warranty and although they seemed to be more expensive than others, we felt they had a very comprehensive warranty and we purchased their home warranty plan. On Friday our water heater began leaking, and my husband quickly shut off the water. We called Choice Home Warranty to be told the earliest time they could send someone out was on Monday. This was with them knowing our water was off, sinks, toilets, etc. We called back to escalate and got someone to come out on Saturday.
On Saturday, we were told by the plumber that Choice Home Warranty sent we needed a new water heater, and we checked the contract and the plumber advised we didn't have any of the reasons listed on the exclusions for the water heater. Two hours of waiting on Choice Home Warranty to determine if they would cover the claim, to have the claim declined. A denial never crossed our mind, we assumed it was taking long because they were working on paperwork or payment to the plumber. We were told while we have coverage to replace the water heater, the water heater itself is not covered? So confusing. My husband and I were shocked at the unprofessionalism that was displayed by Choice Home Warranty.
We went on to review the contract and onto the website to see what we could have missed. We found that in the contract the Water Heater was listed as a covered appliance for replacement, but in the exclusions (far down exclusions), it listed storage container as an exclusion. Who knew that this meant the water heater? There was not a glossary of any kind and I felt this was very deceptive to use different terms to describe the water heater. To call it a water heater in the inclusions and call it a storage container in the exclusions. So my husband and I called the company back as a prospective client wanting coverage and we specifically asked the representative if our water heater leaked and needed to be replaced (the water heater itself) would it be covered and we were told yes.
We sent a recording of the conversation where we were told the replacement of the water heater would be covered, with the employee # of this individual, to the company and they still denied my claim. Just FYI, this is an unfair and deceptive sales practice meant to mislead consumers. The company has offered to refund me the amount I paid for the warranty because I will be cancelling, but I want the claim paid as it was the coverage we were sold. If I had gone with another vendor, like American Home Shield, this would have been covered. The Choice Home Warranty manager declined the opportunity to do the right thing. Do not use a company that will not make things right when they have the opportunity to do so. If they are going to act like a low rate company, you can just go to someone else who is cheaper.

Experienced a failure of our Thermador Range/Oven - main oven not heating up. Submitted a claim to CHW, they assigned a Service Provider who later turned out to be a one man show and not at all familiar nor trained to service Thermador appliances. Since we incurred similar problem a few years back, I knew exactly what was the faulty part (High Temp Cut-out device), in essence I provided the solution on a silver platter for this technician. He ordered the part and came back to replace it. Did not test the Oven before he left, so later we discovered that while the oven was heating up, it was not reaching set temperatures.
For 2 weeks tried to get this technician back to resolve the follow up problem. Failed to show up even after CHW set up an appointment. So CHW authorized us to get our own Service Provider. We did call a company that had previously serviced our appliances. A technician came up, he was not only factory trained but in actual fact he had worked at Bosch/Thermador, hence he was only just too familiar with this appliance. He immediately discovered that the previous Technician assigned by CHW had incorrectly wired this device and it also required resetting, which he did and tested the oven which functioned normally as it was designed to do.
Now CHW refused to pay for the charges we incurred by bringing our own Service Provider stating that we should have obtained Pre Authorization before the Technician began his diagnosis and repairs. Incidentally, I did inform the Technician that he should call CHW Authorization Dept, but he said I need to find out what the problem is before I can speak to them.
So CHW found easy to hide behind this technicality and refused to compensate us in the amount of $519 citing this excuse. I will not ever recommend this company to anyone for warranty coverage and I am cancelling the current contract 8 months ahead of time as I no longer have any faith in them honoring their obligations. Had they provided a factory trained Service Provider in the first place, we would have never had to deal with this issue that took a month to resolve, and eventually at our expense. Very Bad Company to deal with. Previous experience 2 years ago when our Microwave failed, they also refused to repair or replace and we had to pay for it ourselves, totally unreliable and a very bad example of a Business Operation.

I turned in a claim and had a tech come to the house to determine my Washing machine was more expensive to repair than replace. I received an email saying great news. After opening up the email I was offered $349.99 for a washing machine that has a current retail value of $999.99 and a sale value of $749.99. I declined the offer and was called by a claims specialist. She immediately offered $449.99. I explained that the unit can't be replaced for less than $749.99. I was told read section F15 in the contract so I have attached it ---> (F15. We reserve the right to offer cash back in lieu of repair or replacement in the amount of Our actual cost (which at times may be less than retail) to repair or replace any covered system, component or appliance.)
The problem is that the actual cost is something they can't show me or prove. I explained that I can't replace the unit for the offered amount and that they can buy me one at their cost. They said they can't do that due to they chose to offer cash instead. They also said that they cost isn't available? How can this be? your offering me a settlement on something that isn't available? To me this is fraud. Just pull a number out of your head and say take it of leave it. I feel as if their policy is written to allow them to not replace my unit as advertised by offering me a cash settlement of a cost that they make up!

The representative was quick to respond to my request for information. And he worked quickly to get the necessary information for coverage. He was thorough, and offered other policies that were available. He was well informed regarding the policy. Very personable.
