DO NOT TRUST CHOICE HOME WARRANTY FOR ONE SECOND!! After repeatedly being assured Choice Home Warranty would cover all appliances, AC units, furnace, sump pump, etc. in my home (I was manipulated into paying extra for better coverage and paying for a 3 year warranty), and that they would be prompt and professional and honest, I signed up.
Over a month later, when my AC unit stopped working, Choice Home Warranty did not send anyone for over 3 working days. I called every day and emailed every day, informing them my children (including my 8 month old baby) were burning up in the 97 degree temperature inside my home (the weather had been over 100 degrees for months, and was currently 107 degrees), but only got answering machines and automated emails telling me they were "working hard to get a tech". Never got a call back or email from a real person, and even direct lines to the salesman, etc. were ignored and never responded to.
After the third day, I called to file a complaint and demand a refund of my $1,470 I had paid them. They finally answered the phone! They put me on hold, and, magically, a tech was suddenly available. I told them I didn't trust them and I still wanted to cancel, as I believed they would dishonestly try to get out of paying for the claim. The manager repeatedly assured me they would take care of the claim, and he pressured me into staying with them and paying the $65 service fee for the tech. He told me I could get a full refund if I was not completely satisfied after the tech arrived.
The tech arrived and found the $500 blower motor had gone bad, and informed us that this should definitely be covered under our home warranty. The next day, Choice Home Warranty emailed us and told us they were denying the claim because "the blower motor was not working when you signed up for the warranty", which was a blatant lie, as the AC had worked just fine for over a month after we signed up for the warranty. The tech was even confused, as this was as blatant and crooked a lie and action he had seen a home warranty company pull.
I called Choice and demanded my money back. They refused to give me a refund... They created a bunch of "fees" etc. to rob me of hundreds of dollars. They didn't give a single care about my complaints, their blatant dishonesty, or the misery and suffering they had caused my family. They told me to sue them. Choice Home Warranty is the most crooked and dishonest company I have ever dealt with. They are evil!

I can say that so far I have been very impressed with the service that I received from Choice Home Warranty. The representative explained everything thoroughly and was very pleasant. He gave me every discount he could find which was very important to me since I had just my husband who took care of our home and I am on a fixed income. Thank you, Aaron. You represent your company well.

I purchased the full plan from Choice Home Warranty NOT the basic plan. Our AC Conditioner went out in Phoenix Arizona. They sent out a tech named Ricardo from Crispy Heating and Air. This guy looked at our AC and said the pipes are frozen and said they needed to thaw before he could do any work. He said we had to turn the AC off for 2 hours then left and said he would be back. Well the pipes thawed in 20 minutes in the summer of Phoenix. Ricardo (Rick) could have waited for the pipes to thaw, didn't even look in the attic. And this Ricardo guy was mainly interested in giving us his business card so we could call him for side work. Rick said it was because we had clogged filters and to leave them off. But the pipes still froze anyway and still NO cold air.
Then we called Crispy Heating and Air and told them to send out a different guy. They sent out a tech named Nick and he said we had a leaking AC coil due to erosion and that he would let Choice Home Warranty know. Choice Home Warranty told us because the coil was leaking from erosion, they wouldn't cover the cost. But what about the $75 service fee we paid? They didn't fix anything!! We are SOL. And just got the $45 monthly free taken out. We called Parker and Son and they said the coil wasn’t leaking and was just really dirty and that we also needed to get the AC capacitor replaced. This Crispy Heating and Air doesn’t know what they are talking about. My guess is their techs aren’t certified. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH CHOICE HOME WARRANTY OR CRISPY HEATING AND AIR!!!

After much comparison shopping online I decided to purchase a Choice Warranty program. They had all the features that I wanted in a policy. They were very helpful, answered all my questions and were able to meet my needs. I’m new to the state of Nevada and had no friends or family that I could ask for advice on a company. I like how everything was explained in a simple but precise manner. Here’s hoping I don’t need this policy but if I do I hope things will go great.

Job well done, quick, pleasant. Would have this gentleman again. He replaced my garbage disposal, cleaned up, explained what he was doing and chatted a little bit as he worked about his family. The communication was a little weak when I try to call him. My suggestion would be to make the window a little smaller or let the customer know about what time the person will be there. I waited from 11 to 3 and it would be nice if you let people know what what the smaller time window would be.

AC repair. Technician was great. He was friendly, professional & explained everything to me well. Naturally warranty didn't cover what was wrong. Freon and repairing leaks should be part of a warranty. If that was covered, there would be less likelihood of eventual replacement.

Horrible experience just trying to buy a plan. Have not even made a claim. They called me, and I bought 2 plans for a home we are selling and one for a home we are buying. A man by the name Mr. ** was so aggressive and rude when I didn't want to buy the locked in 5 year rate that at that point I literally thought I was being scammed by someone that was pretending to be Choice Home Warranty and was trying to get my money and information. That's how aggressive and rude he was.
I asked to speak to a manager and the gentleman put me in hold and got right back on as himself as the manager. I am serious! Like a bad movie. I asked to speak to a supervisor that was a woman so I knew it was a different person. And she proceeded to try and sell the package to me and when I told her I was shocked as a supervisor she didn't care about my experience. Just wanted to keep selling. She hung up on me. So I called the company directly to make sure I in fact did have policies and was not scammed, the gentleman that answered was nice enough but I wanted to speak to a supervisor. So he also put me on hold and then got back on as the supervisor! He was still nice enough and insisted he was not the same person and what could he do for me. So I said, "You see my email, if your a supervisor then have Mr. ** write me a letter of apology and then I will believe you and not cancel my policy or write a review".
I never got that letter. And I assume it's because he was just a salesman pretending to be a supervisor, some real Wolf of Wall street behavior, and just gross. So apparently Choice is the worst company to work for and trains employees to be shady like that in this day in age where we really could use some kindness especially from our American companies. Shame.

I bought their warranty and waited for weeks after my water heater broke for them to come and fix it and they denied the claim. It's funny how when they sell you their crappy warranty they and say everything is covered no matter what but then when you need them they will say, your water heater is too old, lol WOW. I called to cancel and had a salesman about to cry on the phone when I called to call them to cancel the warranty and he was offering me half money back just to give them another chance, I know it was waste of time but I gave them a chance.
It was cute that he compared medical insurance to their warranty and how they can't cover old appliances like medical insurance doesn't cover everything. I didn't tell them idiot that I work in medical field and he had no idea how bad of example he was giving but for few seconds I wanted him to feel good about his little sales scam. Few months later just a couple hundred dollars board on my AC broke and they denied the claim. What a waste of money and time. No hot water and AC for weeks because of these losers. I decided to spend money making payments by replacing whatever I need in my house and having a serious warranty instead of wasting time on money with these clowns.

I "bought" the warranty when we closed on an existing home less than a year ago, a "premier policy" with replacement of repair coverage. 1. Two months after moving in our sump pump alarm went off. They were quick to respond with a plumber guy in a truck; he ripped into my closet wall to get to the pipes and suggested they were frozen. Oops, frozen pipes are not covered. Paid deductible and he left. 2. AC not cooling. Called and guy came out; says it's all working fine. Paid deductible and he left. Had neighbor's AC guy come over and fixed it in 15 min.
3. Dishwasher not draining. Called and guy came out next day. Found failed parts, and he sent info to Choice. No repairs and no replacement. You see, they have a unilateral policy to "fix or replace" at their discretion. Also they have unilateral policy to "replace or provide cash" towards a new unit that I can purchase. They offered $177 for a new dishwasher (which barely pays delivery and installation). They asked how much I wanted for a new dishwasher and I itemized $550 at a minimum. They said $250 was highest they would go. Replacement policy? My **! We are taking the issue to social media and complaint lines like this, because it is my unilateral policy to do so...

I have owned a home warranty (contract) with Choice since 11/2017 and have only had one small claim. Our Air Conditioner stopped working on Sunday around 4:00am. We live in South Carolina, and it is August. The daytime temps are around 95 with a heat index of 112 right now. My husband is recovering from Cancer treatments and has a problem with the heat. When I called and started the claim with Choice, we were told that it would be Monday before they could get anyone out to check the system. The technician came out, and then called us when he had submitted his findings to Choice. I called Choice, explained that this was rather urgent, and asked when they would give permission for the system to be repaired. I and was told that they would let us know by 7:00 pm what they would pay and when it could be repaired.
After talking with the technician again, he explained that the system would have to be replaced and in his opinion could not be repaired. He said that it would take a day to obtain the system and schedule the installation (Wednesday). Around 6:30 pm I received a call from Choice (recorded on voice mail because we were out to dinner) followed by an email. Choice had completely denied the claim. They would NOT replace or repair the system. Oh yes, I fully intend to contest their decision, however, we are having to replace the system ourselves! I will advise anyone considering this company to do more research! I had referred them to my daughter. She had a similar bad experience and was also left holding the bag after paying over $450 for a warranty. I will be reporting this company to the BBB for sure. Their lack of professionalism in answering/discussing the issue on the phone should have given me a clue.
We regret to hear that you are not satisfied with the outcome of your claim. As a gesture of good faith, we can offer you $200.00 to assist. If you would like to accept this offer, please respond accordingly.

Policy #: **, Claim #**. I have had a broken AC in almost 100 degree weather for longer than 72 hours. My case manager has not responded to my voicemails, emails or messages online. I called them several times and never spoke to the same person twice, all of whom gave me the run around. I still have not heard from my case manager. I have never been treated in such a disrespectful manner as a customer. More importantly, I received an illegitimate denial of my claim. I am sure other customers have had similar experiences. I share my thoughts/opinions in the hopes that other customers may have use for them or read this before entering into a long term contract with CHW.
I feel like I was hook winked and that CHW had no intention of covering my AC at all. There are several broad exclusion clauses in the contract (many of which subsume the entire coverage of the policy) that allow CHW to deny any claim for almost any reason. It is likely that CHW claims the right to deny a claim under any of these for whatever reason they determine (the most likely of which is that they do not wish to pay, that is my guess). However, there are specific provisions in the contract that cover AC "components and parts." I read contracts all day and have seen some doozies. This one seems specifically designed to use boilerplate language to allow them to weasel out of paying claims.
I could try to take them to court, but who wants that headache. If I did, typically, in contract interpretation disputes, the more specific provision controls. In the event that there is a dispute about the contract itself, at the very least, there is some ambiguity in the contract about what could/could not be covered because the exclusions are drafted so broadly that they would cover all kinds of items (i.e. "HWA has the sole right to determine whether a covered system or appliance will be repaired or replaced."). In this case, if this issue is not resolved in an expeditious manner, I will follow up on this review and try to take whatever legal actions may be necessary to rectify the situation, including but not limited to:
1. Submitting a formal complaint to CHW.2. Submitting a complaint to the BBB.
3. Voiding the mediation clause under the contract.
4. Filing claim in small claims court.
5. Suing under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices-Consumer Protection Act or other cause of action allowable under law.
I hope this is helpful to other consumers to not give up! I suggest other consumers do the same because together we can change these misleading practices. In fact CHW was recently rebuked by the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs. Look for the story in USA Today. I will update this review as the story continues. August 2 - CHW replied to my review and stated that a person from the Consumer Advocate Department would contact me. It has been three days and I have not heard anything from them. So much for upholding the "highest level of customer satisfaction." August 8 - CHW requested additional information from me. At this point, I have been without a functioning AC for almost two weeks. I am debating whether to just bite the bullet and pay the money to have the unit replaced rather than deal with CHW any longer. Mind you, it is over 100 degrees here in Texas for the past few days.
Hersch,
We humbly regret that you were not satisfied with our services. Our records show that the part needed for repair has been delivered to the technician.

I signed up for a 7-year home warranty with Choice after they solicited me. Since that time they've failed miserably each time I have attempted to use the coverage. Deplorable service, NO coverage on most items, and outright lies during the sales process have been my experience so far. Most recently, my built in microwave developed a display glitch and doesn't show the time right. CHW is refusing to cover it, stating it is a "countertop" model (it's obviously built in) that they do not cover. I've already had 2 contractors out since June 26, over a month ago, and they lose their contractors' records and they never follow up for completion.
When they solicited me, they told me that A/C repairs were 100% covered, including freon. That was a lie. When the A/C went out, they refused to cover the repair, the leak, or the freon, and they told me to attempt to recover the cost of the repair from the manufacturer. When my washer broke, they said they would cash me out since the repair would be expensive, but they would only give me $400 to replace my front-loading washing machine. I had to spend over $1,000 out of pocket to replace the machine, so my net loss was over $600 for that appliance.
This company is comprised of a bunch of weasels who will lie and then NOT cover anything that breaks that is supposed to be covered. Right now I'm attempting to cancel the balance of the term of "coverage" and they're ignoring my refund requests. I plan to escalate my concerns to their president and CEO, although I doubt that my complaint will gain any traction. Basically I threw over $1700 away on what was supposed to be a 7-year home warranty but is nothing but a worthless piece of paper that I paid a fortune for.
We regret to hear your frustration Lynne. Our Consumer Advocate will contact you directly to provide further assistance.

Choice Home Warranty is a sham Triumphant at cheating their customers. Please don't fall victims to the false and insincere information about HVAC coverage that Choice Home Warranty displays on their webpage. Our AC unit failed and Choice Warranty made up stories of a possible power surge to deny our claim even after 3 different technicians clearly stated the cause of AC failure was a grounded compressor which could be because of weather or manufacturing defect or even just spontaneous failure. And yet Choice Home Warranty just stuck to this made up story so as to use it as a clause for claim denial. They also will just avoid picking your calls once a claim adjuster has been assigned for fear of having to answer valid challenges to their denial and then they will make up lies as to why they can't accept the claim. Choice Home Warranty is a sham and doesn't care for its customers.

I was denied for a claim over something very trivial so I wrote several bad reviews. The company contacted me begging to remove my reviews for a full refund. After more than a month I contacted them about my refund. They stated they issued a refund and to a credit card that I do not own.

I was just trying to get some information to compare to the warranty coverage I already have that is expiring at the end of the month. I felt extremely pressured by the salesperson to make a decision "right now."

Called on 8/5 to report a problem with my heat pump not cooling, the exhaust fan stopped running. Claim was recorded incorrectly. Waited for a couple days of triple digit heat communicating with service either offering me the reimbursement process which is a total joke because all the contractors in the area will not work with your company from past experiences. After another I started to read some objective reviews and read where a man in Texas reported his A/C out on 7/4 with no resolution by 8/8. I decided I had waited long enough and called a local company who responded immediately, replace the capacitor and had my A/C running in an hour. CHW responded by saying that I should submit a claim for reimbursement. The company I used refuses to work with CHW and after reading many reviews I'm not going to waste my time to ultimately receive a denial to pay the claim for some reason or another.

After guests left using a "never used" bathroom, we discovered that there was a leak on our kitchen ceiling. I went to the CHOICE Warranty website, to file my claim online. I had never used the warranty before (came with the home purchase, and was nearly expired). It was easy to provide pertinent information and I CHOICE handled all the arrangements for scheduling. I filed the claim over the weekend and on Monday morning, the plumbing contractor CHOICE selected did a fantastic job! I was THRILLED that we had the warranty, never thought I would use it, now I will definitely renew. Thanks!

Updated on 08/12/2019: Now this scam puts out that air conditioning is not covered. They reviewed me to their contract. Clearly covered and they wrote me to get a contractor to repair or replace if necessary as they could not provide anyone. Not only were they totally useless they tried to tell me they don’t cover AC systems. What an absolute joke these scam artists are. Once again anyone who uses them should have an IQ test. Their scam collects fees and cover nothing.
Original Review: My AC unit failed. Called Choice Warranty. They could not provide a contractor to investigate and fix. Told me to get my own after 10 days without AC in 100 degree weather. I found a local contractor who investigated and indicated compressor had to be replace and could not be fixed. Indicated the problem to Choice several times. Cost $3000. Their solution was to void our contract and return the $450 paid for the policy. This company is an absolute joke, scam, and a major rip off of the public. There is zero coverage with these scam artists. Took 15 days to get AC back which I paid in full for. Before anybody contracts with Choice I recommend you first get an IQ test.

We are quick to criticize when things go wrong. We should be just as quick to praise. Well here comes the praise! The whole process for filing a claim till the repair was completed, I am happy with. Like being able to file the claim online easy. And the email responses and updating the info on the claim is a very big plus. Only Item I had that was a little concerning was the sending of a feedback survey to me as soon as I filed the claim asking about my "Overall Experience" with CHW. I feel the survey needs to be sent only after everything has been completed. Which you actually have done here. Which is great, just don't send one as soon as a claim is filed please. (Just my suggestion). Other than that all went extremely well.
From the very acceptable reply time with contact information you gave me for the CHW associated Tech assigned to repair my appliance, to the Tech's actual acceptable time line to come to my home and repair my appliance. The tech named John King with King's Appliance Repair LLC, was very polite, professional and knowledgeable. I was able to converse with him and go into more detail about my appliance problem before he even arrived for the repair diagnosis. With that he was able to bring the parts what he thought might be the problem with him when he came to my home. Saving time and money which is a very big deal to me and most people I know.
I highly recommend CHW keeping his service for a repair choice. And the $45.00 cost for the repair I had to pay is a great reasonable price. Hope when it is time for me to renew my Policy I can still get it at that Repair Fee price. So anyways the Tech repaired my appliance with the part he brought, the same day and even gave me some pointers on keeping my appliance in tip top shape. So I am very satisfied at least for my first claim ever using CHW. Regards and Thanks, Kerry

This company (Choice Warranty) exhibited every tactic to deny my air conditioner claim. Initially they blamed me for not maintaining the system. Then they said it was an old system, and they tried to negotiate a settlement amount that they would agree to pay. Finally, they stopped returning my calls altogether. My opinion is that they'll cover minimal cost repairs and replacements, because they can get a washer, dryer or dishwasher at wholesale cost. But when there is a big ticket claim, they try to avoid the claim...until you attempt to cancel. Then they try to please you with negotiations and promises to escalate the issues, or even offer to give you a few extra months of coverage. After a month of calling, in the middle of summer, I decided to replace my own air conditioning system (approximately $4,500), and requested a refund of the 3-years (prorated) of the premiums that were paid in advance.

When it is a big ticket item that needs to be replaced, they will not replace it. My water heater went out and although the invoice from the plumbing company states normal wear and tear they are refusing to replace it. I will never renew with this company or any other Home Warranty Company again. I left American Home Shield and signed with Choice because AHS would not replace an AC unit.

Don't waste your money on this company if you are looking for real protection for your home in a home warranty company. Here's the latest claim disaster: So on Thursday, July 25 I noticed my downstairs air conditioner (ac) was not cooling adequately. I shut it off and called Choice Home Warranty to report the issue. I get an email finally stating someone would come out Wednesday. Mind you, this is 100 degree weather in Texas, though I do have an upstairs unit working, so temps are around 82 degrees... Then service company did agree to come on Monday, but then failed to submit the diagnosis, but they just told me I need a new coil and Choice doesn't pay for these things due to a line restriction! I double checked my policy and nowhere does it say that a coil or a line restriction is not covered - anywhere!
I wait and after several calls to Choice and the service company finally get an answer, a denial. Not due to the reason the technicians claimed, but due to it wasn't "normal wear and tear"! Now I ask you, how can it be abnormal wear and tear when 1) they admit in the denial this is a closed system 2) I had not one, but 2 other air conditioner professionals come out and state there are no leaks in the system (it had passed with flying colors on my annual spring ac servicing and inspection, didn't need even a drop of freon). They also stated that it was not "included" - how ridiculous as their policy specifically states all components and parts are included under the inclusions, then there are exclusions but a coil and a restriction in the coil is nowhere to be found in the exclusions! I appealed and then played phone tag with them until today...
Originally I was told a Ms. ** would be my only contact, but when I'd call her she was always out of the office, and someone else I couldn't understand on the voicemails kept calling and I couldn't figure out the name or number to call back... Frustrating to say the least. Then when I got hold of her she stated she was the highest authority and they'd decided it wasn't due to normal wear and tear. How can it not be? I'm 60 years old. I have never even been in the attic where the coil is located. I serviced the unit as required and ran it between 76-78 degrees so no abuse of the system. When a system is regularly running and is a closed system, as they acknowledged, how can it NOT be normal wear and tear if something inside the system became dislodged and blocked the narrow portion of the coil?
So they are denying and I'll likely need to take them to small claims court. Do not waste your money here. This is not the first claim they've denied and I've had to appeal. During this same time period I had 2 almost identical claims with American Home Shield (AHS) and they were great - fixed my rental home's ac and even replaced my oven, no questions asked when the part was no longer made, unlike Choice whom I had a previous claim with and when the part was no longer manufactured, they refused to replace my oven, but that is another claim and another story.
So don't get Choice, get AHS if you actually want good service and a warranty that stands behind its word. Choice was the worst choice I could have made on my personal home. Will be getting AHS next time for me as well as my rental! So here I sit in 100 degree weather, more than 2 weeks later and still no resolution. Do not buy a Choice Home Warranty if you care about yourself and your family. Imagine if I had only one ac and it was hotter than the 82 degrees it is now inside my home... Would your family and pets be able to survive 2-3 weeks or more without ac????\

Choice Home Warranty has some great salespeople and after having their service for 1 year and having a few smaller items taken care, they convinced me to take out three years coverage, paid in advance, to save money. Since that time, I had my microwave fail. After much negotiation, they barely covered replacement. Gave me $200. Then my water heater failed. They had a reason it was not covered, but again after much negotiation, they, out of the goodness of their hearts because I was such a good customer, gave me $300, which, of course, was nowhere near the replacement cost. Then my air conditioner failed, and guess what, it was not covered. They said it was due to rust, dirt and corrosion. I have my air conditioner serviced every year and had just had it cleaned and serviced a few weeks before it failed, which is a requirement for coverage.
I live in Florida, so there was indeed rust and corrosion because the air conditioner was old -- the very reason I had taken out the warranty service. Even though my air conditioner service provider wrote an assessment of why it failed -- not because of the rust and corrosion as it had been working for years with it -- but because of normal wear and tear due to age which should be covered according to their contract, they refused to cover it. I have never been so rudely treated as I was by their customer service people who were more than happy to cancel my policy rather than negotiate an agreeable settlement. Due to all the hassles, no coverage for major items and the rude treatment by their customer service employee, I would never recommend Choice Home Warranty.

Here are my 4 principles of Choice and below more detail on my experiences:
2. Expect to invest significant personal time fighting for every dollar of every repair. They have designed a system make you jump through hoops to get what is fair knowing a certain percentage of people give up.
3. Expect Choice to be dishonest - they repeatedly lied during my most recent claim.
4. If you do, don't prepay and don't sign up for more than 1 year
I have had Choice for about 18 months and made 3 claims. First claim they sent a completely inept company, Flowertown Heating and Air, to my house for HVAC. If you google them you can see. So my first experience is they partner with the worst rated company in my area. The Second claim I filed for my dishwasher. They sent me a really positive email saying that I get a replacement dishwasher!! The value they put on this was $150 and they ask you to click a button online to confirm the resolution. Instead, after calling Choice and explaining to them that dishwashers don't cost $150, they cut me a "great" deal by offering me $300 within about 1 minute of being on the phone.
My most recent claim experience has been horrendous. I had an HVAC issue and the contractor identified that the system was low on Freon and likely has a slow leak in the evaporator coil so he submitted the repair for refilling the Freon and to put in a sealant which would likely fix the leak. Choice denied the claim on 7/15, stating: "It has been determined that the system is excessively low on refrigerant and unable to cool the home properly. Under EPA guidelines a system that is reported to be more than 10-15% low on refrigerant must have a leak search performed to locate the failed component for repair". This is A FALSE STATEMENT. A 10 minutes internet search is all it takes to understand this.
If you actually read the EPA guideline (EPA guideline 40 CFR Part 82, Subpart F) under Section 608 of the Clean Air Act, it only applies to units >50 pounds of refrigerant, which my unit is not. In addition, a separate EPA guideline indicates that sealant IS an accepted repair even if it were >50 pounds. I appealed the claim denial with Choice and they sent me to a claim officer with a bad attitude and her new rationale was essentially they just don't cover sealant repairs for HVAC systems (no mention of EPA guideline). Not covering sealant repairs is stated nowhere in the contract I have with Choice. My appeal was denied.
Then I filed a complaint with the BBB and they got Choice back involved and AGAIN Choice referenced the EPA guideline WHICH IS FALSE. BBB basically did nothing and my claim was again denied. Choice did offer me $100 for my troubles when I threatened to quit, which is a joke. Also please know that if you ever want to cancel they deduct any value of past repairs given from your refund. For example, if you paid $1000 for 3 years of coverage and have a $1000 repair done on day 1 you will never see $1 if you wish to cancel.

Our A/C stopped working in 90 degree heat. The first repair person they sent never showed up but told the company we had been “unavailable”. I have a RING recorded doorbell and Caller ID on my phone. They never called or showed up. So they sent another repairman - now 10 days after our claim submitted. He stated we needed a new air conditioner as our evaporator coil had developed a leak, not surprising as ours was over 30 years old. Choice Home Warranty then Denied our claim stating “your coil has been exposed to corrosive or acidic materials that have infiltrated the air stream and air flow throughout the home, damaging the integrity of the coil.”
Whoever thought up that reason for denying coverage was brilliant. We do not and have never had corrosive or acidic materials in our home air stream (how are we still alive?). Be Careful - read all exclusions online under Terms and Conditions Section F (Not just the bold print coverages they email you). They have enough conditions to deny most every claim they want to.

I submitted a pool pump claim several weeks ago. First they said they did not have a local provider, so we could use our pool company. Our pool company contacted them numerous times to let them know what the problem was and what the cost to repair was. We agreed to pay our pool company for the entire bill and let Choice reimburse us. We are yet to get reimbursed. Every time I submit for an update, I get a canned response that the pool company needs to contact them...which they have done at least four times now. This is nothing but a stall and not pay scam. DO NOT sign up for a home warranty with this company!

When I found the thousands of complaints and huge fines against CHW I tried to cancel but was told they would not let me and not refund my money. Then with the several claims we submitted, they denied them with fake reasons that were not true. The Technicians who were sent to us by CHW also told us that they hate to go to customers of this company because they know the claims will be denied.
We sent a claim for our ac in, the technician and his company sent also that the ac failed due to normal wear and tear but then CHW denied the claim and sent 7 fake reasons for the denial. We got 4 other companies to verify that CHW was lying and reported them to authorities about the deceptive business practice of CHW. Buyer Beware. Check the complaints with the BBB in NJ as well as Florida, on Yelp and on Ripoff Report. This company is BAD Choice Home Warranty.

Now is not a good time to ask me anything since you denied my claim. I have only been here a month and got no information on the AC unit. I had cleaned the grated door of dust etc. but had no idea it had 2 filters. The one I knew about was not that bad. Even the guy sent to fix it was surprised that there was two filters and it was the one that was really bad. I have appealed the claim, but still have no AC in 110 degrees weather. Thanks a lot. Not only are my animals suffering, but being older this is not at all helping me. Just hope this does not make one of us sick. My house inside is running 99 degrees

I have received several unsolicited calls reminding me to renew my warranty. All of the agents I have spoken to in the sales/renewal department are extremely rude, pushy and unprofessional. However, the worst are those who call me! One even hung up on me last after I politely informed him I was not yet ready to renew my warranty. CHW needs to do a better job of training its reps in proper phone etiquette and general customer service skills.

I had to give this rating because the person helping me with my claim knew that what I needed repaired was not covered. I was put on hold and he came back with a claim number. When I questioned him again about what was going on and having to pay the money, knowing it couldn’t get fixed, and calling him out on it. He then knew what section it said that I was not able to get fixed what I need fixed. Do not make someone pay the $65 when you know it is an item that can’t be repaired.

This was my first experience using my Choice Warranty program, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I called the service number and set up to have a repair person come to fix my washing machine. The next day I received an email from Choice informing me that they had so far been unable to locate a vendor who could come in a timely manner. Choice offered another option - one where I could find my own repair vendor, submit an estimate, pay for the service and be reimbursed for all except my $60 payment. I have a Sears Kenmore washer that I love, and went online. I found a very reputable vendor who could come out that very day! I am wondering who the vendors are that Choice uses here in my town - I was able to easily locate a vendor and make an appointment immediately. I chose this option.
Today a very nice repair technician called and came out to the house. She was able to diagnose the problem, locate the necessary parts and repair my washer. Choice requires the vendor to contact them with an estimate; she had to provide many details including part numbers, descriptions, etc. I surmise this is to keep vendors from gouging them, however, I wanted my machine repaired in the best way, with the best parts - I did not want a new machine. We finally figured out all of the estimates, billing, payments, all done with smartphones these days. I think I will use this option for any future service needs - it was more efficient and faster than using the phone or internet.

Was told that they couldn’t find anyone to fix my a/c so I could get someone myself. I found someone to fix it, called them so they could talk to the technician about the problem and after talking to them for about 20 minutes they said they would call back and not to fix anything. The technician and myself waited an hour, so called them back and they told me they emailed me. They weren’t going to cover it until the technician explained to them that it just needed to be recharged. They finally said they would cover everything but my deductible so I was happy until I received another email stating they would send me a check for $33. The bill was $325 minus the $75 deductible. I should be reimbursed $250. Not happy with them and would not recommend them to anyone.

Choice employees will do anything in their power to deny legitimate claims, including lying. Stay far away from this company. I have been a customer for years and they have gotten progressively worse about denying claims, despite black and white language in the contract that states what is covered. In one case, they engaged a plumber who lied about a diagnosis (without even seeing the pipe himself) because he knew it was an exclusion. That same plumber then gave me a price of $600 to work with him directly outside of Choice. When I got a second opinion, they proved the first plumber was fraudulent and only charged $261 for the entire repair. Choice refused to cover that as well.

We had Choice Home Warranty included in our home purchase at the recommendation of our realtor for some older appliances. Being previously unfamiliar with home warranties, I did some reading and agreed that it seemed like a good idea for possible coverage if there were any problems. Unfortunately, our AC died a month after purchasing our home. I contacted Choice Home Warranty and found out quickly they are slow and incapable of dealing with any problems in what any reasonable person would consider a timely manner. They scheduled a technician to look at the AC 7 days later. 7 days, without AC, in July in the Southern US. Is this some kind of cruel joke? It must be to Choice, because that's how I felt treated.
They have an additional option for reimbursement from work done that you can schedule yourself. I found a different company that was able to come out the next morning and look. I called Choice at every decision step and followed instructions I received. After waiting 2 and a half weeks weeks to request additional information, my claim was denied. Choice Home Warranty is a scam company that has backdoors listed in their "coverage" for "pre-existing conditions" and "failure to apply regular maintenance," which they can point to in any situation bar a brand new home construction. Do not give these leeches money. They never pay out.

I submitted a claim through Choice Home Warranty twice. They claim that a technician will contact you within 48 hours. In each case, no technician ever contacted me. This forces you to find your own technician, who then has to call and wait on the line for large amounts of time to justify their diagnosis before work can be done. In the case of my dishwasher, the repair would have cost more than replacing the unit. The initial offer to pay the claim was for a bit over $100. Not sure about you, but I think it is very difficult to replace a dishwasher for that amount of money. I found my experience nothing but frustrating. I would NOT recommend Choice Home Warranty.

Someone transferred me to a manager that assured me that he would call me back by 3. It is now 5:30, 4 additional people have called to talk to me about signing up but ironically the manager has not.

I did not intend to buy a contract yesterday as I did not need one for 2 more months, but ultimately I did, as the sales person was persistent. I would have preferred more time to make an educated decision. I can't rate the actual service as I have not used it yet.

Horrible. Going on three weeks now without any AC, oh and I live in Texas and it’s JULY. Technician was a no show, finally showed up days later, says he needs a motor to fix it, Choice wouldn’t let him buy it, they could get it for cheaper. We wait another week for the part to be mailed to our house... Call tech when it comes. Technician won’t come out to install it because he wasn’t getting fair pay from Choice. I’m on the phone with Choice trying to get him more money, finally settled it for him. They all agree on money (why this is my job I have no idea??). He comes out the next day and it’s the wrong. Freaking. Part. We needed a whole motor, Choice ordered us just a part of one since it was “cheaper”. Technician ends up quitting because he’s sick of it all, and we now get to start the process all over again with a new technician who has to “diagnosis” it himself. Never have I been more angry with a company. Stay away. They suck.

Beginning of 2019 we fully paid and got total plan for 3 years with this company as the sales person (Mr. **) was so convincing. We fully paid and extended up to 3 years believing his words and promise that all major repairs will be covered. He mentioned during the call, if an appliance needs to be replaced (if it can't be repaired), they will either replace it with same or similar model with same value. THIS IS A LIE. Do not fall for this like we did. Please review the contract 100 times as they do not explain anything. Our refrigerator started having issues since April 2019 and they sent a technician three times to fix it, finally he told the refrigerator needs to be replaced. My Samsung refrigerator is $1800 value in current market. Choice home warranty offered me $599 and they said they reserve the right to offer cash back instead of replacing the appliance.
In their contract there is a clause (F-16) which states "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." But they do not tell what is "at times" and how they decide this "at times" or how they decide the actual cost "which may be less than retail" (which is nowhere closer to current Market Value).
After doing an appeal, a case manager was assigned (Cheryl) and she said the final offer would be $750 for a refrigerator worth $1800 and this appeal cannot be escalated further, as company's CEO has authorized her alone for this claim apparently. I can understand that they cannot replace the entire amount, but what they are offering is unreasonable and absurd. They are not even ready to cover half the amount for the refrigerator. REALLY POOR, UNPROFESSIONAL AND DISREPUTABLE SERVICE from CHOICE HOME WARRANTY. Most of my food is getting spoiled for last few months and the conversation is still going on. I would not recommend this company to any of my friends.

Worst experience ever. This company doesn't deserve even 1 star, it deserves a minus 5 star. I purchased home warranty with this Choice Home Warranty company hoping to save money when items broke down but went through hassle every time I made a claim with them. My first claim was for my heater, I told their claim dept. that I smelled electrical burn when my heater was on and the smell went away when I turned the heater off. So, they assigned an electrician to come out. The first tech they sent out was a no call no show on the appointment date. The next day, he came out and couldn't find anything, but my problem still occurred, so I called and requested to cancel my service but was convinced to stay as their resolution manager agreed to send out another tech at no cost.
The second tech still couldn't find anything because the problem was not the electrical but the heater. The company told me to make another claim for AC and heater for another cost, so I did but this time I had my own tech came out. So, my tech found the problem, which would cost $1300 to fix. I filed for reimbursement, but it was denied. So, I called to cancel but the resolution manager offered me $400 check to pay toward the cost to get my heater fixed and asked for 2nd chance. So, I took the offer and stayed with them.
Recently my AC stopped cooling, so I called and made a claim and received email that a tech was assigned to come out 3 days later between 11-3pm. I called multiple times and spoke with their supervisor, begged them to send me another tech sooner because I have small children in this Texas heat but was told there's nothing they could do. My husband had to take off work waiting to get our AC fixed. Again, just as expected their tech is not reliable. Got a call at approx 3:15pm that the tech will come out between 4-6pm, waited till around 7:20pm with no call no show again. So, decided to get our own tech to fix the AC as we could no longer endure the Texas heat of >100 degree. Then at around 7:30pm got a call from their assigned tech asking if I still wanted him to come out (he was an hour away from our house, so I said no). We paid to have our AC guy came out and fixed it in 1 hour.
After this same terrible experience with them, I decided to call to cancel but their resolution manager again tried to resolve the issue by having me file for reimbursement, which I did. And as expected, it was denied because I had my AC fixed before receiving their approval. I had enough of their unreliable service, so, I called to cancel and was told that because I terminate the contract early, I had to pay $50 fee and all the money that they paid for all claims, which total to be $465 ($400 from the compensation for the heater claim and $65 for when they sent out the 2nd electrician tech, which was supposed to be free). I should have cancelled this company right from the start but agreed to give them a 2nd chance. So disappointed with this company. So, beware of this Choice Home Warranty company.

In April we began having a problem with our gas hot water heater staying lit, so we called Choice to send out a technician. The repair person concluded that the controller was going out and due to the age of the hot water heater the entire hot water heater. Choice refused to replace the hot water heater because they claimed that the tank was leaking and that a water leak is not covered in their plan. I protested their refusal and during a phone call with one of their case managers I was told that Choice would not replace our hot water heater and that if we wanted another plumber we would be required to pay the plumber from our own pocket.
I called the plumber who had initially come out and they said that Choice would not return their calls. The plumber that they used in our area told me that as of June 2019 they would no longer work for Choice Home Warranty. Fast forward to later May-early June 2019, I called Choice and spoke with the same claims agent who now sang a different song. Now she admitted that the tank was not leaking and that they would send us a check for $350 to replace the hot water heater and that we were to have it installed professionally and they would pay the labor. Now Choice is refusing to refund us the cost of labor.
Beware of Choice Home Warranty because they have liars working for them. All of the people at Choice that I have spoken with talk over the customer and they (CHW) try to dominate the conversation by not allowing the customer to protest their unfair business practices. Now we will have to sue them in small claims court for the $249 installation charge. I'm serious. We are going back to the warranty company that we had before Choice.

The first claim we had was that water was leaking from under the kitchen sink. The miscommunications back and forth made me realize how unorganized this company really is. It took 6 days for the contractor to finally come out and look at it, and you have to pay a fee on top of the $1500 we paid to Choice Warranty for the package. When I followed up at a later date, they said they never rec'd a report back from the Contractor and that they don't follow-up unless the customer asks. The 2nd claim we had a leaky AC. We explained that we needed someone out there the same day as we had a new tenant moving in at 3 pm. They told me they're not an emergency service and that we have to wait 24 hours to hear back from them. Of course we couldn't wait (like new tenants... hope you're ok with a leaky AC). So they explained I can hire my own technician, that he would have to call the 1-800 to get a pre-approval after a diagnosis before fixing.
Realized after they gave me the wrong 1-800 for the technician so had to make calls back and forth (you get the picture), then they wanted to review the case first... so no immediate answer to the technician which meant if he had to come back, we lose our $75 service call as it wouldn't then be applied toward the fix. Shortly after I rec'd an email; they declined the claim saying that a float switch isn't an original part. These people do not stand by their word when they sell you the product. They are a complete farce! Cheaper and a lot easier to hire your own contractors direct.

It was several days before another Tech came out and he reported that a motor needed to be replaced but he needed approval. After several more days it was approved and ordered but could not be overnighted and had to go out for quote, approved again and finally put on a delivery truck.
After five weeks of under 32 degree temperatures I finally had heat again. I called every day during this period. No-one I spoke to was of any help. No-one would forward me to a supervisor or manager. Emails were not responded to. Now they won't leave me alone trying to renew my contract. I have blocked every call and still get emails every day. Not once did anyone apologize. I had to go out and buy an electric blanket and space heaters. I have been a customer for at least 12 years and only every made a couple of claims before.

The dishwasher was leaking profusely so we called and it took 2 days of us repeatedly calling for them to send someone out. We paid the $60 for the technician to come out, look at it and say, “I don’t handle this.” After calling the company back they kept giving us the runaround and we ended up spending $20 to replace a hose ourselves. Our next, and biggest issue was with our water heater. When we purchased the policy we were told that if it couldn’t be fixed it would be replaced. When our water heater went out we called and they had someone here within 24hrs who said the tank needed replacing.
Over the next 3 days Choice Home Warranty gave us the runaround, wouldn’t answer any questions and said, “They would get back to us”. They never did and on the 3rd day we called and they said that there is an exclusion to the replacement of water heater tanks. Customer service is spotty at best.

I'm glad my co-worker informed me about this company and I look forward to doing business and having a company as caring for their customers as you are.

Updated on 07/27/2019: Got this home warranty in Jan.2019, I didn't get my policy for at least 2 month afterwards which at this point it's too late in their book to cancel the policy because in their terms and conditions you don't get refund after 30 days. So I'm 7 month in and my AC go out on Sat. Oh I forgot this is a 24/7 company right. No answer left a message, no response so I call back the next day. No response. Called on Monday to be told I could get my own tech and they would refund me, after speaking to the tech they decided what the tech said wasn't the cause so they said it was rust and corrosion. Well have anybody seen an ac or any appliance that's 19 years old not have some. Well after been sold on all my appliances are cover nor of them are cover. I paid $1050 for warranty and the only repair I was offer $300 to help me out he say. Do not buy this warranty. It's a scam.
Original Review: 3 days in heat and this suppose to be best company fine a unsupported reason not to repair or replace my AC. First you cannot get intouch with anyone and when you do get in touch they go to the terms and conditions and use the 1st reason they can not to do the job and tell you if you get it fixed on your own you default even getting a refund. So you set in the heat in texas mind you I'm undergoing radiation. But all you are worry about is ripping people off. I paid to have full coverage and the sale person assured me that I'm covered no matter what and this is what I paid a $1050s for. 3 days and no telling how long for an appeal {really} I paid for service to get nothing.

I only purchased the home warranty today so have no service history to draw on. However, have heard positive comments regarding this company and I left a competitor believing for good results. Will have an opinion in a few months. I will say that on the phone the person I dealt with was very knowledgeable and personable.

In general I am pleased with the service BUT I have a problem with their local contact, CAVIN'S A/C. It is difficult to talk to them and coordinate the service. If a non function it happens on a week-end, forget it. I finally contacted CHOICE directly and they gave me the number of a different company, BREEZ HVAC, LLC and he was attentive, efficient and really good. With this second choice I was very pleased. What I learned is that they may recommend a company as first choice BUT you don't have to use their first recommendation if you don't like them. You can contact CHOICE and get a second company to do the job.

I had a great experience with the customer support rep Calvin who is very knowledgeable and friendly. He explained all the benefits in detail and helped me get the best deal. He even gave me his direct number in case if needed any additional help. I called him up a couple of times to clarify after signing the contract. He was very prompt in responding and answered my questions. I am very happy with his service today.

I have had this company for 2 years and my first claim was for a common valve that was not covered by this company. Read your fine print!!!! I did call two other home warranty companies after I found out the part wasn't covered to see if it would be covered and it was. For example American Home Shield does cover it and so much more! I am now moving over to this company.

I was very reluctant to get involved with a warranty company. I have heard endless stories about how they try to get out of doing the job. All roses when they are trying to get out to join. Once you sign up it changes fast, no response slow to get back to you and when they do they look for and excuses not to do the job. My air conditioner quit in a heat wave. I called. They gave me a work order # and told me they would contact a company to service the unit. A few hours had passed when I recovered a message that because of the heat wave no one was available in a timely amount of time. So they told me to call any one I might know to service the unit and CHW would reimburse me for the cost. They were on top of the problem from the first call. I am very impressed and hope to have a long relationship with CHW.

My problem solved and taken care of promptly. I have always I received good service from Choice Home Warranty. I have had it for four years and it has been great. I will renew when policy runs out because I could not do without it.

They are such a SCAM!! They have way to many exclusions and they will get out of fixing or replacing everything. DO NOT USE!! I lost over $210 canceling. They kept lying from the start. They overcharged my card, they gave me the wrong contract, and first claim I made they were, "Look at section "". It's on the exclusion list." That is when I snapped and cancelled my warranty.. They charged me for the one month (mind you the warranty doesn't come active until after the month) and they charged me a cancellation fee. WORSE EXPERIENCE EVER!! NOT WORTH IT!!!
Updated records reflect we have rectified this matter and our accounts reflect this has been resolved.

The salesperson I talked to Friday, I think his name was Matt, was very helpful and helped me make the decision to enroll. If the service experience is as smooth I welcome it. The email response was prompt as I received my policy. Thanks Matt.

I signed up for Choice Home Warranty today due to their excellent reviews. I've been with another home warranty for many years. The minute I finished looking Choice Home Warranty up online their employee Cameron called to answer all of my questions and helped me get the best deal. So far I'm very impressed.

The AC unit went out in the middle of the night. The house being in the Texas heat quickly shot up ton 78 degrees. I called first thing the next morning and a service guy was dispatched by lunch same day! Excellent and speedy service.
