    I had a home warranty with Choice for a few years and never ever had a claim. My air conditioner quit on March 11th, 2019 and I submitted a claim (I am a former owner of an AC company and know my way around this service). I live in Hot and Humid Houston so expected a prompt response. Two days later I received a message that my case was submitted to a company called "Landmark Mechanical" which texted me for an appointment two more days later. In investigating Landmark Mechanical, they are basically a 2 or 3 person company that never returns phone calls or answers the phone when you call them.

    My compressor had failed and finally 5 days later Choice approved the repair, but my share to pay Landmark directly was $550....WHAT? Turned out that both Choice and Landmark were trying to screw me with charges that were not necessary and apparently exclusions on the contract. I agreed so someone would get my AC fixed as it was hot!!!

    Finally on March 25th Landmark 2 guys came out to replace the compressor. They struggled for a couple of hours as they didn't know what they were doing and they lied to me and walked away from the job without saying a word. I tried for two days to get ahold of them and Choice without success. Finally Choice sent me a message that Landmark was coming out on March 28th between 9 and 11 to complete the repair. The morning of that day I received a message from Landmark that the appointment was now 12-2. I immediately called to tell them not to come as I had wasted too much time dealing with the "fly by night" company, but they showed up anyways and I told them to leave as they really didn't know what they were doing. They did leave...

    I hired my own guy to complete the compressor replacement and the cost was a lot less that Landmark wanted. Based on this case, I immediately cancelled my Choice Home Warranty and I feel very good about doing that. I urge everyone who is reading this to 1) avoid buying a home warranty from Choice or 2) cancel your home warranty with Choice and go with another provider. I believe Choice avoids California because they would require "Real" contractors to do their work and they couldn't hire their own guys off the street like they did with me.

    I emailed a claim. The response was they could not find anyone to come to look at my leaking garbage disposal that I should find someone who would be willing to come to my home, call you, do the work and your company would reimburse them. It is hard to believe I could find someone that would be willing to do that, also finding a repair person is what I was paying you for.. I went on the BBB to lodge a complaint where I saw a name to e mail. They did find a person who did a marvelous job.

    I'm very upset, not about the representative when I turned in my claim. It is because when I took this out, I wasn't told about the cap on items. It is also my fault, because I didn't read every detail in the booklet. I have had other warranties and never had a cap. I am disappointed because when I took this out & asked questions this was never mentioned. In the future, please have your representative to tell people this. I have two friends that are looking at Choice to purchase.

    I submitted my first service request to Choice on 3/7/19, when my dishwasher stopped working. They sent a technician to my house on 3/9. He spent one and a half hours in my home completely tearing apart my dishwasher, said it was shot, that he would tell Choice it needed to be replaced and I would hear back 3/11, 3/12 at the latest.

    By 3/14, I had not heard anything, so I called Choice. They never received a report from the technician and never followed up with him about my service call. I was told if they don't get a report from a technician, they ASSUME there is nothing more to do. They said they don't call the customer to follow up "because maybe they went on vacation or they had a death in the family and they wouldn't want to be called." My hand to God, that's what they said.

    I had to call Choice 4 times and speak to a total of 6 people. Today is 3/28, I still don't have a working dishwasher or even an appointment with another technician. I'm told they can't find a local technician. This company is nothing more than a call center that doesn't even have a list of approved technicians. Since they can't find a technician, it's now on me to get someone else to my house, who then has to report to Choice that my dishwasher is shot, so I can finally get it replaced.

    Needless to say, I told them I no longer wanted to do business with them, and would you believe, they are charging me a $50 "administrative fee" to get out of my contract? Even after Choice pays the technician and pays me for a replacement dishwasher, I would have spent less money, had much less hassle, and got a new dishwasher a heck of a lot quicker if I had taken care of it myself, which, in the end, is what I have to do anyway! Oh, and did I mention they won't install the new one either? This is the second home warranty company I have used, and been abused by. There won't be a third. Do yourself a favor and put the money you would have paid them into a rainy day account instead. This company is just raking in money to do what you can do for yourself.

    I had 2 claims. The first was water under the water heater. It was denied. The second was a noisy dryer that was condemned for a fraction of what it would cost to replace. Had it repaired by an independent for $150. I decided to cancel my one year contract after just two months and was told that there was a $50 admin charge. My hard sell salesman said I could cancel and get all of my prorated payment refunded. The cancellation rep was very nice at first and offered two free service calls and when I said, "No thank you" She got downright nasty and started to lecture this 70-year-old like a school kid!!! So basically this ordeal cost me $350.

    I had a short in my water heater that was not fixable. The Mechanical company that came out to check it was very prompt, courteous and informative. They of course made sure it was covered first with Choice. Then set up a time that was agreeable and workable and were prompt and neat. Only shortcoming would be that Choice did not pay for the removal and disposal of the water heater... as in why would you need to pay extra for that? What am I to do with a non working water heater? Pricey at $325 extra beyond the $75 service call. Not the contractor's fault. Just seems like an unreasonable expectation from the warranty company.

After one year, they only covered $50 on various issues which cost me $2000 to fix. Most recently, after three days still not one call about fixing my garage door motor. I wrote, "a part has broken off the motor, the chain is sagging, and it is nonoperational". They responded, "we don't cover chains", claim denied.

    PLEASE READ IT TO THE END. FROM A HOMEOWNER TO ANOTHER. I'm a customer with Choice garbage Home Warranty company right now not by choice. If I cancel I will lose all my money. They told me they will deduct any paid claim I did in the past, minus $50 for cancellation and 6 month out of the contract. In another word I will end up with nothing. So I have to keep the contract and hope nothing else break in my home because they are only out to take your money and not fix anything especially your central AC which is one of the most expensive appliance in your home. They will come out with the most stupid excuses you will heard in your life.

    I only have six months with this GARBAGE WARRANTY COMPANY. I started with them in August 2018. My central AC broke down on September 29, 2018. The tech they send couldn't get to the attic because the guy who came was a big guy. So they told me they will send another company and if I know one for me to call them. I just bought the house and came here from another state. I don't know anybody here. Time passed. No one came. Winter came now is March I called them back. They made a new claim #. A new tech came. Checked the Ac unit, the unit is useless. I need a new central AC unit. Now they denied my claim because the unit has debris inside and around it of course is sitting outside without any use because is broken fall and winter past. Now is spring. They will collect debris like tree leaf. That's all it had leaf. They are claiming no maintenance was done to the unit.

    Why would I pay for maintenance for a broken AC and it was winter time. They also told me the tech told them the unit was in poorly condition. I call the tech. He told me that he didn't said that and he will send me a copy of his report. I'm waiting for his report, I have two choice. Take them to court or pay for it myself. They will look for any excuse to take your money and not fix your appliances. You should hear these people talking to me on the phone. Their excuses my God are they for real? Listen to me from a Homeowner to another. Do not buy your Home Warranty from this company. They will talk to you very nicely to get you to buy a contract from them. Really low copayments $45 per claim. Now I have to waste my time in court to get them to do the right thing.

    I purchased the home in July 2018 along with the warranty from Choice Warranty, recommended by the realtor. We filed 4 claims in 6 months, all denied. They claim to cover a list of things but when you have a broad exclusion on what's covered for the items. Trying to reach them by phone is difficult as there is a long hold time. The recording recommends to fill out an online claim which has a limited number of characters to describe the problem. They are quick to deny the claim by e-mail, usually referencing the exclusion on the back of the warranty papers. I paid thousands of dollars in repairs out of pocket and got $0 from Choice Warranty. They are great at marketing the features of the service but lousy when it comes to delivering the benefits. If you're considering this company or any company for that matter, make sure you read & compare the terms and disclaimer and review the coverage and exclusion.

I asked the technician if he knew what might have caused it and he had no response. I thought it might be due to power surges and again he had no response so I'll have to research this further. Also, after he left I remembered one or two other electrical issues that could have been addressed while he was at my home but he didn't ask if there was anything other than the main issue needing attention. I would recommend that you advise your service technicians to do that anytime they come out so that multiple visits will be unnecessary.

    CHW said someone was coming between 3 and 8pm yesterday to look at the water heater. So I took off work and headed home. At 6:30, still no technician and no call. So I called him and he informed me that CHW never told him about this appointment. He then arrived at 7:55pm. I don’t appreciate having my time wasted.

    First time using a home warranty and we were extremely frustrated. While it was super easy to call and start a claim, the notifications we were received via email did not correspond with the service technicians expectations. Called over the weekend for a water heater, was sent an appointment email early Monday morning for an afternoon arrival of our technician. Only the service technician called to make an appointment later in the week and not show up in the window we were given from the email notice. He said they tried to call us, they only called once. Had to make an appointment for a different day for a visit. Yes we got it fixed, but the notifications from Choice said an appointment had been made for us, when in fact that was not the case. Going forward if a repair is needed, we will find a repair person first and call Choice with our repair and service person at that time.

    First - you sent me an email that stated the service technician would be here Sunday from 11:00 Am to 3 PM. He was a no show as he does not work on Sunday's. I called to confirm but he did not answer and his phone would not accept any messages. I finally talked with him around 2:30 PM and he confirmed that he does not work on Sundays but he would be out Monday. He came and confirmed what I already had told you and him that the electronic circuit board was not working. He took my check for $60.00 and left saying I would hear something the following day. I called him yesterday at 11:45 Am and asked if he knew what was next. He said I should know something by the end of the day. I never received a call but received an email from you saying the dishwasher was fixed. I responded to that email saying how can you send me an email like that when obviously you have not spoken to the technician or me. This is ridiculous.

The former company I had a local Florida business was excellent. I never had any problem in having repaired any appliance. This time they told me to read segments of the contract and they denied claim. Be careful when you buy a contract like this one. They do no cover anything. I was totally ripped off. And I had to call another A/C company to pay for for what it was damaged. NEVER AGAIN AFTER NEXT NEXT YEAR THIS CONTRACT EXPIRES and the other 5 I also bought.

    I would not recommend using this company to anyone. I am now going on day 10 without hot water. The tech came out the day after my claim was submitted and determined my water heater needed replaced. We set an appointment and was told everything would be taken care of. Day of appointment the tech cancelled because he was told by choice the claim was not approved at that time. I had to call choice to get additional information to push the claim forward. Again I am on day 10 of no hot water and the claim is still not approved. I am nearing the point where I am just going to pay out of pocket and cancel my service with them. In the future I will choose a different home warranty.

Instead Rep told me they would give me 1/5 of the cost to replace it. He referred me to F16 which states that HWA reserves the right to offer cash back in lieu of repair or replacement in the amount of HWA's actual cost (which at times may be less than retail) to repair or replace any covered system, component or appliance.

    I thought that offer meant I had the right to accept or reject, but Rep informed me that it would be my only offer. I asked for the figures they used to come up with that number and he said "We don't provide that information." So basically, they were refunding the cost of the warranty. I feel cheated.

    Water was leaking from the bottom of the toilet. The work order was originally approved. (Simple wax seal replacement). However, the plumbers estimate snowballed into a flange, replumbing drain lines, wax seal and then the work order was disapproved leaving me with a big plumbing bill and I still owed a co-pay. Typical home warranty tactics. The plumber wins, the home warranty company doesn’t pay and the consumer loses. This is my third home warranty company and I will not continue the contract after it expires.

    I purchased this product in December. I've called them twice: once for the furnace, and once for an upflush toilet system. They are horrible to deal with. I was stunned at the long list of exclusions for furnace repair. They have an even longer list of exclusions for plumbing repairs. Reading those exclusions it becomes clear that there is nothing they would cover at 100%. I'm guessing they never pay more than 25% of any repair. My battle with them is just beginning.

    On February 3rd, I had noticed a problem with my HVAC system blowing cold air when on heat, I called a local HVAC company to come take a look at it and determine what was wrong. On February the 4th Vaughn Heating and Cooling sent a technician and determined that my A Coil had began to leak out of the coil itself. That same day I contacted Choice Home Warranty to file a claim under my warranty plan. Policy #: **. On February the 5th, Joe Vaughn called Choice Home Warranty to discuss his diagnosis and explicitly stated that corrosion and rust had nothing to do with the system failure. Instead the reason for failure was natural expansion and contraction of the Coil caused by heating and cooling; normal wear and tear.

    Furthermore, with the leaking being on the coil itself, made of copper, cannot chemically rust. Later that day Choice Home Warranty denied my claim for rust and corrosion. Claim #: **. I appealed their decision that same day. They assigned a case manager to my file, named Christine **. Beginning February 5th until today March 19th, I communicated back and forth continually asking what I needed to provided to approve my claim. She never once answered this question directly. Instead I kept sending pictures and what my HVAC technicians diagnosis proving that the corrosion or rust were not the cause of the issue.

    Again, never indicating what I needed to show in order to approve my claim. I sent a picture showing rust on the spill plate at the bottom of the coil. Upon seeing this picture Christine immediately denied my appeal. This proves nothing to aid their claim as rust here is normal wear and tear. Choice Home Warranty also had the ability to send out their own technician to provide a second opinion. They never did so. I am unsure what evidence they have for denial of my claim and are in breach of contract.

    Unfortunately I bought the home warranty policy from CHOICE HOME WARRANTY was effective from May 2018. Tactfully they offer some discount in order to collect whole year premium in 2 installments. They said this type of warranty can be cancelled anytime and I can get the prorated refund. As far as coverage, I got their so called premium policy to cover all systems and appliances. After that I had a total 3 service calls. Every single time a technician came to the house and asked for $45.00 trip charge. Once they got their trip charge they took some pictures and sent them for approval of CHW. The first call was about the water heater. I clearly stated what the problem was. But when the technician sent the estimates they declined the claim and said that problem does not cover.

    Later on I had a blockage in the kitchen sink drainage system. A guy came and tried to open it up. But he couldn’t do it and left my home saying that it is too difficult to fix. Took my $45.00 again for nothing. Finally today 3/19/19 they came to fix a kitchen sink water leak and 2 other issue on shower handle and bathtub water lock system. Again paid them $45.00 and afterward they came out with the same results the problems does not cover. My question is why do they write my claim if they do not cover? Why I should I pay trip charge to someone for doing nothing?

    This is absolutely ridiculous and fraud business practice. Initially they said they cover all systems and appliances. They said they will fix it or replace it. That's their slogan on their website. Now I asked them to cancel the policy and refund me the prorated amount. They said I can cancel my policy but I can't get prorated refund.

    I purchased a “Total Plan” coverage from Choice Home Warranty for my condo. On March 6, I made a claim for main water valves not working (not shutting off the water to my unit). It happens all the time in my building due to age and normal wear and tear use. I discovered it when I had another contractor working on a shower issue and he was not able to shut the water off due to failure of the valves. Also, valves started leaking after we tried to turn them on/off several times.

    Then I filed a claim with Choice and a contractor came out in to inspect it. I also had my building engineer come over at the same time because he has over 30 years’ experience with my building’s infrastructure (there are some plumbing nuances because it’s a 28-story high-rise building). Upon inspection, both of them agreed to do the job together and would coordinate for the following week since the water needs to be shut off for most of the building and other tenants need a 48-hour notice prior to the repair.

    However, soon after the contractor left my condo, I was advised by Choice that my claim is denied due to the fact that the repair was not covered by their rules and regulations. They labeled it as a failure due to corrosion not normal wear and tear, which would have been covered. There is some corrosion further down the water pipe, but it has nothing to do with the valve itself. The point is that any copper pipe that has water touching it will have some form of corrosion at some point, but that doesn’t mean that valves fail due to corrosion. This was confirmed in my case by 2 plumbers that know my building very well and have worked on the plumbing system for many years.

    Both my contractor and my building engineer spoke with Choice and clearly explained that these water valves fail due to normal wear and tear all the time in my building. It was also confirmed by my building engineer as a second opinion from a person that has been working on this plumbing system for 30 years. However, Choice would not have any of the numerous explanations and second opinion. They assigned a case manager that barely returned my calls and would not have most up to date information. All I kept hearing from them is that the claim is closed and there is nothing that can be done.

    I was stuck in a vicious “he said-she said” cycle between the contractor and Choice, and after a few weeks of back and forth I decided that it was not worth the effort and my time. Nothing was done to even remotely try to remedy the situation. I was planning on purchasing a second policy for my other home, but instead I will never use Choice again – even the contractor that was dealing with my claim on behalf of Choice said that this warranty company is one of the worst and recommended switching to a competitor, which I plan on doing. Stay away and look elsewhere if you are in the market to purchase a home warranty.

    I've made two claims in the year and a half I've had this service (I use the term loosely, they have none). The call center is not in the US so communication was messed up to start, within 5 minutes my claim was denied. I sent an e-mail correcting the claim that had been misinterpreted, got an e-mail back saying they had no plumbers in my area. My first claim was for a ceiling fan and they had no electricians in my area. This is the WORST company, and the very second my contract is up, I'm out. They don't care about their customers, customer service or providing what they advertise. I live in Southern Oregon and I know for a fact that there are many trades people here. I have also written to the Better Business Bureau, Attorney General of Oregon who is conducting an investigation into their business practices.

    March 2019 I had balancing problems with my $1000.00 washer. Choice chose not to repair it after I paid the technician when he completed his service call. They called the next day to advise they would offer me $350.00 to go out and purchase another. I was not told they would replace it by offering one third the value of my original washer when I purchased the warranty.

    I ended up buying a washer a much smaller load capacity, basic washer for $742.34 including delivery and hook up. After refusing the $350.00 I settled for $500.00 the max they would offer me. I have not received the check as of yet. I will write another review if I don’t receive it in a timely manner. This is the statement read to me to justify their actions: "16. 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." This does not make sense to me! Karen

Every time I have needed them, they came up with an excuse why they didn't have to pay and only gave me "token" payments instead of fixing or repairing the item. Even the repair man called them to tell them the problem should be covered and they told him no. Now, my water heater leaked and was supposed to be covered!! They told me "no" because it wasn't a "mechanical problem" with the water heater. Then they said that they would only send me $250 and that was for a $1000 replacement water heater, which I had to pay for. They were supposed to send the check in January!!!

    Today I called and said, "Where is my check?" Andy told me that they made a mistake in not sending it. I said so send it and I want to cancel my policy because I no longer trust them. Well, he said the check that they didn't send was only a "courtesy" and they don't have to send it now. I think that they are liars and cheaters and get out of anything they have to pay.

    The Service Tech was GREAT. He diagnosed the problem very quickly and was very courteous and respectful. I was led to believe by Choice Home Warranty advertisements that if something could not be repaired, then a replacement would take place. That is a falsehood on Choice Home Warranty side. I will have to cover 75% of the replacement cost out of my own pocket. I can't find any replacement product for the reimbursement amount offered. I have wasted my time and money with Choice Home Warranty. Might be good for a repair but not when a replacement is needed.

    Ceiling Fan Repair - The technician was scheduled to arrive at 11 am. However, he called around 8 am and asked if he could come early, in the next 30 minutes. I agreed. Nonetheless, he did not arrive until around 9:30 am. When he arrived he assessed the fan and said that it needed a new controller and remote but he would have to get approval from Choice which had to be done by email. This took less than 10 minutes. He took the $45 in cash and left. He did not offer a receipt. When I asked for one, he said that he would text it to me. That never happened. I got an email from Choice the repair was authorized. Yet, I have not heard back from the technician four days later.

    I cannot rate the system since I have no idea what is included. I think I know from conversation but do not know until I see paperwork to see if it agrees with the recording. Fast talker and price kept changing. I ask for call back after my contractor left but pushed for 3 and 5 year which I probably would buy but had to buy now vs waiting a few hours. Have to buy product to see what is covered. Ask me in 7 days what I think and then I can evaluate. Then I know if I will keep or cancel.

    I have filed two claims with this company thus far. The first was a faulty water heater (leaking). I was informed that this is not covered and that I was on my own. Most recently, I called because a kitchen drain was backing up into my sink. According to them, it was because of an incorrect pipe installation, and it was not covered. What exactly is covered? The plumbing had been working to that point without issue, so I'm a little surprised to find that an improper plumbing installation on a galvanized pipe (clearly not new!) took so long to cause an issue. This company's warranty doesn't seem to do anything other than waste several days of my time before informing me that they can't help me with anything.

    Could not afford to pay annual premium so went to monthly payments. Very disappointed that you offer a $100 discount if paid up front. Agent offered a 3 year rate since I am a veteran and AARP member. But since I couldn't pay the annual premium I was left out. I am a retired minister and basically, all I have is social security so I feel you don't do "anything" in special offers to retired people.

    The claim was handled right away. Russell company came out the next day and fixed the problem. However, my complaint with CW is no one told me when I switched over to your company that if my ice maker had problems it was not covered. Why would anyone think the ice maker which is part of the refrigerator not covered. Of course, my ice maker is now leaking and when I asked about someone coming out to check it I was told it's not covered. NO ONE told me that.

    This is upsetting because I think for what we pay for the warranty and probably never use it much this should be covered. It is part of the refrigerator.
