Acquired CHW coverage. Jimmy ** was very helpful, concise and accommodating when he called about my inquiry. He was very easy to understand and at no time did I feel pressured to purchase which helped me decide to purchase, I don't react well to high pressure, I tend to pressure back so he was outstanding.

I was looking for new coverage. My initial experience with Choice was not good; the representative didn't even want to use my correct first name and said I was making a "big deal" out of it; and then hung up on me. Later that day, a supervisor, Tracy, called me. I told her what had happened. She was as upset as I had been; and the reason she is a supervisor is because she went above and beyond to win my business. I am very happy with her excellent service and attention to my needs.

We recently had a new garage door opener installed. In the last two weeks the door had stopped halfway going both up and down. The garage door repairman, Josh, arrived and in a short time diagnosed the problem and was able to get the door working properly. Our repairman was a very courteous and knowledgeable young man. I would not hesitate to recommend your company or your serviceman to anyone.

Samsung washer went out and it took a little over a week to get a company out here to assess the damage but once they did the very next day they approved the work order which turned out to be the the water pump. Now all I have to do is wait for the work order company to receive the replacement part and install and hopefully receive their payment for their efforts in a timely manner.

Called Choice Warranty on 11 April to apprise them that our home's heat/heater was not working. First, the person on phone spoke broken English and was very hard to understand. Secondly, Choice Warranty gave us the impression that they didn't care that we had no heat. They subsequently called back and told us that the repair man would come on Wednesday the 17th. Almost an entire week later. Thank goodness it was not in the middle of the winter.
The repairman came from Fairless Hills, PA. Are you serious?? You do not have any contracted furnace repair guys in South Jersey? Not a good way to run a business. Again, thank goodness that it was not in the middle of winter. When the repair guy did show up, he was polite, competent, and fixed the problem in less than an hour. So why did it take a week to get someone out here to do less than an hours' work??? Once performed, we are completely satisfied with the work, but not satisfied with Choice Home's effort, cooperation, understanding and generally a very unsatisfactory approach to our situation. This was our first call to Choice Home for a household problem, and not a good way to start a longterm commitment.

Man changed garbage disposal and left. After he left we tried to run dishwasher. Drain from dishwasher was plugged up and dishwasher flooded kitchen floor. Called repairman up and said he blocked drain line and he should have checked it before he left. He said he didn't do it and refused to come back. Now I have to file another claim and wait for another repairman and probably pay another fee to fix what the first repairman caused.

Even though what I needed fixed was not covered (it was a exhaust dryer pipe that was not connected to the wall), I was sent sent a technician who fixed it for me at a reasonable price and he came early too, and was very courteous and helpful. This is the first year that I am using Choice, and it is so much better than the other one that I have used for years. The technicians are not trying to gouge you, nor trying to push you to replace something when your appliance shows that it has life on it still.

Most of the people who came out for the air conditioner and jacuzzi did not even look at the items. They did not so much as have a screwdriver in their hand. Top Dollar did not even know how to turn on the jacuzzi jets but he claimed he was an "expert". The initial air conditioner "repairman" said that we needed a condensor and you did not cover it. You verified that you DO cover that item but he never gave you the claim! I got a second opinion on my own and they said that all we needed was a fan motor. The second person you sent out agreed with my independant service company! I am still waiting (for10 days) for you to send out a licensed jacuzzi repairman.

I have had issues with Choice and their servicemen since January. I submitted a claim about my dishwasher not running through cycles. Two companies came out within the course of 4 months and I still do not have it repaired. Choice comes and declares it a replacement as it would cost more money to fix than replace. Their Offer? $179, I declined and was given a Caseworker. When I explained to him the cheapest dishwasher at Home Depot was $308 for a Non Brand dishwasher, He said they could offer me $300 to replace my dishwasher. My dishwasher retails new between $599 Up. This company is horrible. I was told purchasing guaranteed replace for appliances for similar model or better! How do I get a better model or even similar for $300? I do not know. I will RUN if this company tries to sell their Warranty to you. NEVER AGAIN.

You recommend replace versus repair. Agent did not even check to see who was policy. Policy bought before marriage and was making deals with now my wife. Policy was in-place years before marriage, married in July 2018. Email was sent prematurely with counter offer. We did not even get close to a replacement offer. We will be looking at other warranty before automatically renewing our contract. I am surely going to find a company that will be better to make replacement offers.

The Microwave needed to be replaced, but the amount provided does not cover the cost of the replacement for the same size and features. The point of this coverage is to not have to pay more than the deductible when something happens like this. But that was not the case. I had to pay the service fee for a tech to spend 5min telling me that it needed to be replaced then spend more money getting it replaced with a like unit then I have to install the unit myself or pay someone to do it. Does not seem right to me at all!

In November 2018, I called Choice Home Warranty for warranty insurance for the condominium unit at **. Wayne from sales took the call and sold the plan to me. I was very specific of not being tied down to a contract and agreed to pay only if I had the right to cancel anytime without penalty. He confirmed to me that there was no catch and that I was free to get out ANYtime without fees or penalty. It was on these contract terms that I gave my credit card as payment. I paid for other properties as well. I already had insurance with another warranty company for those properties and subsequently decided not to break those contracts and cancelled those and continued coverage only for NY property.
I paid 1,750 for 60 months coverage from December 30, 2018. Wayne said that I would get an additional year for free and hence technically the payment was for 72 months. I have had the contract for 4 months December 30 2018 to April 16 2019 and am unable to utilize since the contractors they use do not have adequate insurance or workers comp. The building has refused every single contractor that this company sent. I had to finally get outside contractors to do the repair work and had Choice Home Warranty approve, authorize and pay for the work done. Hence it is not working out for me and called to cancel the policy today (after 4 months) and asked for refund for remaining 56 months.
The prorated refund will be $1,633.34. They also have a balance due to me for $121.76 for work that was completed by an outside contractor. Today when I called to cancel and ask for refund the terms stated were different to what Wayne and I had agreed on the day of payment. They said there will be administration fee of $50 and the monthly dues will be calculated by some other formulae and the balance refundable to me would be $500 less. I believe this company is taking consumers’ money under false marketing and sales tactics. I am requesting refund on terms that I agreed. On one occasion the contractor that was assigned to do the repair had a felony and an alias name and since I scrutinize all contractors before they enter found this out. I am questioning the company’s guidelines and procedures on security, license and insurance checks as well.

We filed claim on our Kenmore Elite side by side refrigerator with Grab-N-Go door that it was not cooling and compressor was running. It was installed in October 2014 and cost $2,800 on sale. We were pleased to get an appointment with service technician the next day. He came and confirmed compressor needed to be replaced. That is when our dissatisfaction and disappointment started. Choice Home Warranty received technicians repair request. Within hour or so I received a call and email noting I had great news. The company indicated it was best to replace vs repair and offered me $600. I immediately declined and shortly received a call from Case Manager explaining the basis for their decision and repeatedly told me they had sole responsibility to make the decision to replace. Yes, this is written under limitations of liability.
The cost to replace compressor was $800. To purchase a like refrigerator is in range of $2700-$3000 plus tax depending on sale price. I finally agreed to have them send me $600 and we are repairing. Hopefully, I will get a check within 30 days as noted. I am assuming they are saving $200 and more importantly we will be unable to file a second claim on our refrigerator. Very disappointing considering sales pitch to purchase Warranty. Ask questions regarding limits of liability before purchasing.

Honestly, the determination letters are unclear on the actual determination and frankly seem to take a cowardly approach to standing behind your own contract. If my service is not covered, I want to know first in plain language... "Based on our information/investigation your outage/service is NOT covered." Secondly, I want understand why so quoting the section of the contract is great and you do that well. Thirdly, in the event your staff has misunderstood the situation, I want a way to speak to someone to ensure I fully understand any nuances provided by the particular situation so I can understand why it was not covered.
In addition to this, the reimbursement process is simply not fair to suggest the worker has to stop what he/she is doing and wait on hold for 10-30 minutes so they can explain the details to a CHW specialist. Their time is valuable, and CHW is literally abusing that which they are paying for. This could not be more nonsensical.

UPDATED 05/31/2019: AC problem - not cooling. Choice was quick to assign service provider of high quality. He diagnosed the problem and approval was obatained from Choice for the fix. The fix was approved without a hitch. The part was ordered and installed in a couple of days. Good Job Choice. This issue was handled quickly with the utmost professionalism.
Original Review: Changed Home Warranty companies this year by deciding to give Choice a try. You have to be a technician to understand all their exclusions but their marketing drip leads you to believe they cover all major component of Air Conditioning units. They don't. There are many internal parts within an AC that can wear out over time…. like the thermal expansion valve. For unknown reasons they have excluded this. Mine went out and therefore they will not cover. IF you go on to read all the exclusions.... there are many unfamiliar parts to most people they exclude. Yet their marketing dribble leads you to believe "you're Covered". The list of exclusions are long enough that I think they probably have an exit point for most problems. You have to almost be an HVAC expert to understand if the coverage is truly worth it given all the exclusions.

My heating system quit working one Saturday morning. Choice Home Warranty was pretty good about setting up a appointment for a tech to show up and look at the unit. The tech got the unit working but advised me the gas valve and a igniter cable were bad. The valve and cable needed to be replaced in order for the unit to continue working. Choice Home Warranty denied my claim based on the fact the contract would not replace valves. This unit was approximately 30 years old and the tech was unable to find a gas valve or igniter cable anywhere. The heating unit is now worthless and not working because of its age and the unavailability of parts.
I live at 3150 foot elevation, so it’s fairly cold during the winter and spring. As parts are not available, I was under the impression Choice Home Warranty might offer some assistance or possible direct me in a way that I might get this unit working. I received a E-mail telling me they were denying my claim and how to appeal. Very cold, and direct to the point, no compassion or any hint of helping out. I have not contacted Home Warranty yet, but I will. I am very dissatisfied with the manner and tone of how this claim was handled. I will file a appeal and see what happens. I don't suspect much will take place.

Choice warranty does not live up to the promise of: "If We Can't Fix It, We'll Replace It". If the technician comes out and cannot perform a covered repair, CHW will replace the unit". The customer service is poor and if we disagree with their claim determination there is no appeal process. The case manager told me that I can not speak with the next level manager nor make a verbal or written complaint. She was the ultimate authority and the 2-options she gave are final. Although it was on the website - "In the event that CHW makes such payment, CHW will provide written notification of the basis for the amount of the payment", she would not give any explanation nor written notification of basis other than saying that it was their cost.
I was offered $600 for heat exchanger repair for broken furnace (which neither Choice Warranty nor the technician they sent would repair) vs the market cost of heat exchanger repair of approx $1500 (as quoted by the repair technician). The claim process itself is too slow and I would not recommend this to anyone! Just we were lucky that it happened at the end of winter, so it was OK to be without furnace heating for few days and wait. What could have happened if this to happen in the peak of winter. I have paid the premiums for last 4 years and needless to say that I will not renew with them!

The washer and dryer quit working so I again notified them on Monday and they did call back on Tuesday and told me a repair person would get in touch with me. Here it is Thursday.

So my first claim I made was my hot water tank. Y’all did not fix it. It had to be replaced. I was told it was old. Second claim was my garage door opener. It makes a very loud noise and I know there’s a problem....but because the door still went up and down, the repairman said y’all would not fix nor replace. I literally threw away $60! I still have the horrible noise! I’m considering dropping my policy. Maybe I didn’t read the fine print. Appliances covered can not be old. Appliances can not be fixed or replaced until they die....but my hot water tank did die....hmmm.

It took 5 months to finally reach a settlement on our maytag dryer. 5 different repairmen, each time then having to wait another week or two for parts, then after installing parts, dryer breaks down again—on and on and on. Now after 5 months a 5 repairmen, they tell us parts are no longer available and we reach a settlement only because we are tired of being without a dryer.
Original Review: April 6, 2019
Over 4 to 5 months our dryer continues to stop working. We have had 5 repairmen, at least 6 different parts shipped taking 1 to 2 weeks for each part to arrive and then the repairman had to schedule a return. Finally this week we were offered a buyout which was probably a fair offer. However, to wait 4 to 5 months and we are still without a working dryer and now much wait another month for the buyout money seems very problematic. Whatever the appliance breakdown, no one wants to wait 6 months for a solution. I believe after the second service call and the dryer still was not working someone should have been involved to solve our dryer problem quickly but no one seemed concerned.

First contractor said there was no leak, unjammed the garbage disposal, and left. He had arrived 4 hours late and it was now close to 7 pm and he probably wanted to go home. Second contractor was right on time, three days later, and did the replacement and was neat and quick. I paid one fee and am very pleased. The technician spoke to Choice and the second fee was waived immediately. I have found almost all contractors are responsive and very knowledgeable.

We had a major water leak. I called and was told I could call my plumber, it was an emergency. When I called back with info I was told to e-mail invoice and explanation and materials. I got the info and e-mailed it. I was told it would be a week and I would hear from CHW. I didn’t, so called again and was told I would get an answer in two days. I e-mailed the info again. Didn’t hear, so called again and was told I’d hear within 2 hours. I waited and called again.
This time I talked to the 5th person and was told I could e-mail again but wouldn’t matter, they had to have the info before work was done. I explained I was never told that. She revised all the calls and agreed yes I was never told that. She said, "Sorry but that’s the way it is". I wasted many hours e-mailing info several times and many long phone calls on hold. This was very disappointing. It would have been much better if the CHW employers had all know this and told me from the beginning.

I have been without hot water for almost a week now with a newborn in the house. We have to boil our water which is gonna cost my gas bill to go up????

He lied about when he was coming as if my time was not valuable. The $45 was waived but nobody bothered to tell him so when he did finally show up he refused to service the dryer and left. So the job was reassigned to another tech who does not even service dryers!!! Nothing has been done to resolve this. So then I was told by a "manager" that he was going through dispatch to speed up the process. I got an email today 4-5-19 saying an appointment is scheduled for 4-17-19!!

My built in microwave oven (Over the range) would not heat and Choice Home Warranty (CHW) were unable to send a tech for 2 days then I hired one from a website. They gave me an estimate; but CHW decided to replace instead of repairing the unit. it was determined that I needed a magnetron and capacitor to make it work. The appliance is 13+ years old, but I feel it can be repaired.
They initially offered $169 as the replacement cost towards the new microwave that costs approximately $399.00 (GE website). When I decline their offer the case was transfered to a claim manager for review and I end up getting service call reimbursement. (I paid 44 more than my service call charge on CHW contract) + 200 = 244. and I will end up paying around 400 for the unit plus any installation/haul away old unit/shipping. Most store ship them and if it is less than certain amount I need to pay shipping as well.
Feel like it is bad idea to have a warranty if they cannot fix it. I bought warranty for peace of mind, If I have to search for tech/shop for a new one/do installation then it is better save some money in an separate account for new appliances/repairs. Will not renew for sure. I am with them for more than 2 years and was a satisfied customer til my last 2 claims.

When you inquire about the product, the salespeople tell you they cover EVERYTHING regardless of age or current condition. What they don't tell you and it is deep within their fine print they do not cover rust, corrosion, electrical surges, power outages, fire, "acts of God." So if you own an older home or a previously owned home, they will find a way to deny your claim.
Three times we called for warranty coverage, and 3 times they sent out the same service tech and 3 times the problems were misdiagnosed, and 3 times I paid for another service tech to come out and properly diagnose and fix the problem. While discussing the issues with their representative, I was interrupted no less than 10 times in 5 minutes. I quoted back their own policy and items from their brochures and his response was "where did you get that?"
At no point did I feel they were there to represent me or my best interests. When I originally purchased the warranty, I asked for 1 year and was charged for 3 without my consent. Which I had to call and correct at my own expense. They will not allow cancellations in writing. It must be done verbally, so technically anyone could call in and cancel my policy at any given time without my consent and there would be no trail as to how, who or where that request came from.
When I asked for information on their cancellation policy, he responded with it wouldn't be smart to cancel at this point. I had to raise my voice and ask more than 3 times for him to send me or tell me where I can find their cancellation policy before I was told they only take cancellations over the phone. You have a choice, and CHOICE HOME WARRANTY should not be it unless you just like throwing money to some random company who will not pay on their claims and will find every reason to deny them!!!

What a disgraceful way to operate, when the contract indicates that "if we can't fix or repair, we replace." It does not state that you try to replace with the lowest cost like item available, offer the customer the lowest price, and hope they will take it.

They sent me a list of products that matched the one that was to be replaced and I could chose the one I wanted, or they would send me the cash amount instead.

The kitchen sink and the bathroom share a wall. When using the kitchen sink or the dishwasher, it floods water into the floor of the bathroom. A lot of water. There is no water under the kitchen sink, so believe the leak is coming from in between the wall between the two room.
Had the issue been fixed back in November 2018 the rust would not have been there the rust was from them not finding the problem and telling us to caulk bathroom to fix it, which did not because all along it was coming from kitchen sink which we kept telling everyone that's where we thought it was coming from. The guy had to tear out the wall to see the pipe. My question is what is what causes normal wear and tear to a copper pipe??? Could 5 months of not fixing it from the people you sent cause rust and corrosion. I think so!
Normal wear and tear would be rust and corrosion! The pipe is split. We saw it. I have a pic. It's a pipe that wasn't fixed the first time so it got worse. In December the guy said the leak was coming from the bathroom and needed caulked so we did the whole tub, faucets and tub surround with new caulk. It's still leaking. This one is not our fault. If it had been fixed the first time around it wouldn't be as bad. Review this and fix it. It has been 5 months, 3 visits and $180 so far. It should have been fixed the first time and the next service calls should have been free till you found the problem. You owe me $120!

I had to deal with them regarding my A/C. They would not cover almost half of the job. They tried to offer me a low payment. and force me to upgrade (at my cost) because they didn't want to pay for the repairs. The book states if they can't fix it, they replace it. THIS IS NOT TRUE. I called today about a different issue with shower valves, wanted to confirm it is covered and again, before the girl even checked on it, she said NOT COVERED. I suggested she explain it to someone else in her co. of what I was explaining to make sure we were on same page and she refused and kept talking over me. I ended up hanging up as she was too argumentative to deal with. Their Customer Service/managers need to be better trained!! THIS COMPANY IS A JOKE, DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE. Signed completely disgusted.

The technician was 3 hours late (he did communicate he would be late though). Diagnosed the problem as a bad main board that was probably caused by a high current draw from the compressor. Also noticed that due to no refrigeration for 24+ hours, water was dripping from the ice maker but not affecting any components. The main board that was bad was no longer in production and when I called your claims line, I was told that they would come up with a replacement cost for the appliance and send it to us. Approx 10 minutes later, I got an e-mail saying that the claim was denied because was damage was the cause of the failure. I appealed the decision and then spoke to the tech to verify that he HAD NOT diagnosed the problem as water damage.
Monday I received a call from a very rude claims adjuster who said that she was going to override the claim denial and send us a check for the replacement cost of the main board and that since water damage was the cause of the the failure she was not required to do so since you do not cover water damage. I tried to explain that water damage was NOT the cause of the damage and I was under the impression that we would be receiving the replacement cost of the refrigerator since the broken part was no longer available.
She said that since you were not responsible for damage caused by leaks (again, not the cause of the problem), she was doing us a favor by overriding the claim denial. I accepted the check because I thought if I argued more she would rescind the settlement completely. I have 2 houses that I cover under Choice Home Warranty and will be cancelling at least one of them before the next payment is due. We are seriously considering cancelling not because of this claim.

We have a contract with Choice Home Warranty to repair or replace broken appliances. Our oven has broken and the parts are no longer available to fix it. Choice Home Warranty offered us a pittance of what it will cost to replace this oven. Well they say if it can’t be fixed They will replace it. However this is not the truth. They offer only what the parts would cost if the parts were available which in our case they are not. This is a very poor way to do business especially when their advertisement states that they will replace the appliance when it cannot be repaired. Even the fine print doesn’t make sense. Very unhappy with this company.

The technician arrived in a timely fashion, stated the the water lines have signs of corrosion and the tank probably has sediment build up. He then pointed to the pressure relief valve as the issue. Before he contacted Choice Home Warranty he recommended I upgrade the water heater to a 50 gallon tank and he would see if "CHW" would authorize a claim for repair and then use that towards a contribution. "CHW" denied the claim due to sediment and the tech asked again if I would be interested in purchasing a 50 gallon water heater from his company for $1500 which included labor. What a joke. Wasted $400.00 for a home warranty that expires in May.

Updated on 07/29/2020: The process was simple. I called CHW, spoke with a friendly and knowledgeable representative and filed my claim. In less than an hour, the service company, Ultra Heating and Cooling, had called and set an appointment. The service technician, Billy, called about 15 minutes before the scheduled arrival time to say he was on the way. Billy arrived on time, diagnosed the problem, or in this case problems, made a parts run and had my A/C blowing colder than ever. Billy was friendly, courteous, knowledgeable and professional, even when one of the parts wouldn't fit. The entire process went smooth as silk and I would highly recommend both CHW and Ultra.
Original Review: I am in the process of buying a home here in Las Vegas. As such, as far as I am concerned a Home Warranty is more important to me than Homeowner's Insurance. I researched carefully the options available and all roads lead to Choice, with a 9.9 out of 10 rating here. I looked online and the coverage and price were exactly what I was looking for, and more importantly, the site is more user friendly than most. I called to ask a couple of questions before purchase and was offered a wide range of choices to fit my needs, all with affordable pricing. I was even given an additional discount off my price and a service call price guarantee. I haven't had to file a claim as of yet, but when I do I feel confident the service will be excellent.

I used option to have my local tech diagnose the problem. They came out and gave CHW their estimate to replace a pump with a like multiple variable speed pump of $2600 ish dollars. Your claims department offered me $255. The case manager was totally unhelpful when I explained that this was not a reasonable amount to replace the pump. The manager said that's what a tech that you use would do it for. He finally reopened the claim to have one of your people come out, however shortly after we reopened the claim I got an email offering me to get my own tech again since you were having problems finding one!? So now I'm waiting for you to find a tech. My pool will be turning green soon without it being circulated and it will cost me over $50 dollars in chemicals to balance water again if this is not resolved. You have truly let me down, I wouldn't recommend your company to anyone at this point.

When I was unable t find the ad again, I decided that maybe it was not meant to be. Then, your people called me again. There was no pressure to buy, and the rep agreed to send me an email outlining the program for my wife to review. She was sold, and so I bought online.

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 in 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 this 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.
