Our air conditioning unit stop cooling on a Saturday and Choice Home Warranty were quick to recommend someone to come out the same day. They are very efficient in responding to any issues we may have. I would recommend them to anyone in need of a home warranty.

Choice Home Warranty contacted a repairman and then he contacted us, all in a very short time. Service work was very good. On other warranty problems with replacement, choice warranty settled our claim very fast and to our satisfaction. We had Choice Warranty for three years and are very satisfied with their service.

I called to file a claim. I have never used a home warranty before so I didn't know what to expect. After talking with the customer service rep about my problem I received an email within 5 minutes that my claim was filed, and I had the name of the AC company I could call. I contacted them and had an appointment. The AC company was great. They came out and fixed my problem, which turned out to be very minor. I am so glad I have Choice Home Warranty. I know that if I should have any other issues, hopefully I won't, I can be confident that they will take care of me.

Absolutely awful! My washer dryer took 3 months to fix and the leak would spill into my living room after each wash. My fridge still has not been fixed and it's been nearly 2 months. The 1st technician came out and didn't put in a diagnosis, so we had to wait 2 weeks to find out he didn't do anything or report to the warranty company for our issue to be resolved. A 2nd technician came out and misdiagnosed the problem about the fridge - so Choice Home Warranty wouldn't cover the fridge and denied out claim at the 1 month mark.
We had to pay for an official Sub-Zero certified company to look at the fridge and they got the correct diagnosis quoting $2400 to fix it. When mentioned to Choice Warranty that the original misdiagnosis needs to be mitigated per sub zero specialist true diagnosis - warranty company demanded to send out a 2nd technician to confirm (meanwhile trying to charge us another visit fee for an original claim that was never resolved). Now warranty company will only pay $900 (maybe) to compensate for a $13k fridge.
I am so frustrated with this company that I would write this review in hopes of someone actually caring to read it and realize that this company is a hazard to mankind and a reason to lose hope in life. No cold food, no way to store your products, and plan on throwing away all condiments, dairy, and fridge dependent products because this company drags their feet to correct and fix a fridge that they "claim" to cover. Still no working fridge to date as well as huge bills from eating out due to inability to store perishable items or saving ingredients for future meals. Instead of giving me a "whole extra free month of coverage," please fix my fridge and do what's right.

Of course my AC stopped cooling on one of the hottest days. The inside temperature was 87 degrees when I came home from work. I immediately called CHW, was given a claim number and info on who was going to stop by... and when. I don't know his name, but GinSue Ent came as promised. He needed a part and because it was so late, made an appt for the next day. He arrived as promised and the AC was once again working. I am very satisfied with their service. Thanks!!!

I called Choice Home Warranty to have my air conditioning repaired. The service tech came and I was told that I had to pay the $125 for the leak check because the freon was low. Which I did. Three leaks were found. I specifically asked the service tech if there was anything that I could have done to prevent the leaks. He said no. That the unit is old and these things just happen. This is why I purchased the home warranty. Because things do wear out. But, of course, somehow according to Choice it is my fault and they will not cover it. That is not what I was told when I purchased the warranty. I feel that I have been scammed and hope and will do what I can to see if an agency will look into it so others will not lose their money.

Refrigerator - Technician evaluated that it was a leak and leaks are not covered per the contract. So there was nothing Choice Warranty could do as it was not a covered item. It is important to understand what is covered in the contract which is sometimes a little difficult to figure out. But it clearly states no leaks.

My communication with Choice was quick and responsive. Service provider has also been polite and I love how they call a half hour before they come out.

We were pleased with response from your claims representatives; they always tried to be helpful. But we were not satisfied with the first contractor who came out twice without fixing the dryer. He wanted to order yet another part; it was going on 3 weeks since we reported the problem. It is our understanding that he has been removed from your list. But overall we feel you tried to satisfy us.

This was actually the third call within the past month for the same issue. On the first call they replaced a starter compactor. Then Choice sent out Infinium, they found a tripped breaker and ran a diagnostic with no issues found. 2 weeks later the A/C quit again. We realized that the compressor was still running, but the fan was not. The whole unit was very hot and sounded like it was going to blow! Called Infinium and they were able to diagnose the problem over the phone from our description. Infinium got the approval from Choice and then came out and replaced the fan motor! Great Service. And no additional service call fee!

Refrigerator Repair: Order Submitted 9/20/17 Completed 9/26/17 - First company contacted by CHW was Flamingo Appliance (FA). When calling in to FA, always waited several minutes before being able to speak to a company rep. Calling CHW, always spoke with company rep within seconds. Told by FA that they had no record of my service request two different times for this order. On 9/26/17, after CHW told me they had supplied request to FA three times, they switched my repair request to the same company that had repaired my washing machine previously - Same Day Appliance Repair (SDAR) - and they did come out the same day and fixed my refrigerator!
Gloria and Javier are terrific! Professional, knowledgeable and very pleasant. Suggestion: Whenever possible, send the same repair company out so that the customer is dealing with known people. Suggestion: Before using a service company, do a blind test to determine company demeanor and response time. Hurricane Irma made response time a non-issue this time, but whenever I spoke with Julio, his complete lack of interest and/or concern was very annoying.

I clicked on an ad on asking if I would like information about home warranties, expecting information that I could read. Within seconds, I got a call from a salesperson from Choice Home Warranty. I explained that I live in a small town, and that service people are hard to find. He gave me a very hard sell, swearing up and down that Choice had contractors everywhere, even in small towns like the one I live in. I bought a premium contract, with everything covered.
In June, my boiler went out. I called Choice, where they assured me that I would get a call from a service person within 48 hours. Three days later, still no call. I called them back, and they told me that they hadn't gotten anyone to take the call yet. We went back and forth for about a week. At this point, they told me that I could find my own technician and pay them out of my pocket, and that they would reimburse me for the repair. I explained to them that the whole reason for getting the warranty was because I don't just have a few hundred dollars laying around at any given time, and that this had been one of the selling points made by their blowhard salesman.
I asked for a refund - this was my first claim, and I was getting nothing. They put me on the phone with a rep, who said that the issue with the service technicians in my area was that they did not wish to wait 30 days processing time to be paid, (which is the standard processing time for Choice). He said that he would get authorization for immediate payment, and call the service people again. I never heard back for about a month.
In July or August, I got a follow-up call from Choice, asking if the problem had been resolved. I told the representative that it had not, and that I thought I should just get a refund. He said that he would resubmit the claim, and get a technician out. Again, no technician ever responded. I told the representative that I have pet reptiles, and that the boiler needed to be fixed before the nights got cold in September. Earlier in September, I got a call saying that they had found a technician to do the repair. When I was finally able to talk to the company to which they had referred me, they told me that they don't work with home warranty companies, including Choice.
I called Choice, once again, and was offered the same scenario that they had offered me before: pay the repair out-of-pocket, and they would reimburse me. I explained that I needed a refund so that I CAN pay for the repair. Once again, I have been told that they would find a tech, and would get back to me. It is now almost October - almost four months since I first filed the claim. I have spent several freezing nights in the house. Although I have a couple of space heaters, they will only help so much.
I am concerned about the very lives of my pets. I wish that they would just give me the refund, so that I can pay to get the boiler repaired before we all freeze to death. I have asked on several occasions, starting in June. I have seen great reviews for this company by other clients. Maybe it works just great in a decent-sized city, but for me, they have delivered nothing, and are actually preventing the repair by holding the very funds I would need to pay for the repair.

We live in Texas and need air conditioning most every day of the year. Last Friday our AC unit stopped working and I called Choice to enter a claim. A friendly voice greeted me and within hours I was assigned a service technician. On Monday the tech arrived, on time, and diagnosed the problem as a faulty blower board. The next day he installed the part and my air conditioner was back working again. This was our very first claim since we purchased CHW and we couldn't be more pleased with their level of service throughout this entire process.

This company is dishonest. They claim to repair or replace but getting them to do either is very difficult at best. Once my contract is over I won't renew and will do my best to discredit them on social media when I get the opportunity too. I paid extra for an unlimited plan with Choice Home Warranty (CHW) because I learned of a cap that most companies have to repair or replace equipment. I have higher end equipment and didn't want to get stuck with high repair bill because of their limit on their normal package. If they have to pay out to repair or replace a high-end appliance then they deny the claim. I had them remove the cap on my contract and I paid a higher annual contract to get that unlimited coverage package.
I have an AC unit that keeps tripping my breaker and two of their techs have now told them the unit needs to be replaced because repairing the unit will be expensive and in their opinion not worth it and there is no guarantee the problem will be fixed. CHW first declined the claim due to rust and the tech never told them that rust caused the breakdown of the parts and problems. The problems stem from the unit being old. So they reassigned to another tech company.
The second tech company told them the same thing with respect to the parts that needed replacing and that the problem will not be fixed. The tripping circuit breaker will continue even after replacing the compressor. They still only offered to repair the AC unit and only offered me 1600 to repair it. That only covers replacing the compressor and not the refrigerant which will cost another 1000.00 which will be outdated and not available in the next 18 months. They want me to pay for that.
The tech quoted them a sweet deal to replace the unit but they are not willing to replace the unit. Instead, they only want to repair it by replacing the compressor. They want me to pay for the installation of the compressor because they claim replacing requires the installation of it and they don't cover that. This repair is replacing a part and no different than any other repair. It's not installing a new compressor. I really hate the way this company is deceptive and tries to deny any claim possible when it comes to a high replacement cost. Two of their own techs have told them the same thing about recommending replacement and not repair but they are not agreeing with them. CHW pays these techs to be their eyes and ears but then they don't listen to the assessment by their own techs.
Don't ever use this company because you will regret it. They try to avoid covering any possible claim they can. I will continue to get the word out on social media as much as possible to stay away from Choice Home Warranty. I have read many reviews on independent review sites and they are bad. Now their word is getting around with the contractors. They are not paying their contractors so contractors beware. There was a class action suit against them in 2013 and they settled it before going to court. I am drafting a letter to the state attorney general and I hope to get some results that way. Stay away from this company.

Any service I have called CHW has been non-covered. I paid not only their monthly fee but the service call charge and ended up paying the service person after being turned down.

Going step by step in the process to free up the stoppage till the drain flowed freely. He explained the issue for now was resolved for the time being but it wasn't over.

On 09/13/2017, I, the homeowner, called CHW (Choice Home Warranty) on 09/13/2017, and placed a claim and call in for a service call to have someone come out to assess why we had no air flow coming from our central air conditioning system. Bearing in mind, I have a home warranty plan with CHW, and have been a Consumer since the purchase of my home in July 2012. Fast-forwarding. BBB sent a company by the name of Bee Bee. We paid them a service call fee of $45. Bee Bee stated we would have to pay $195 for a leak inspection test to determine why there is no cold air flow or the cause of no air flow. Bee Bee does not bear a good look for CHW, as one of the Staff, even before coming in to assess the issue, had to take a smoke by his van out front before coming inside. My husband didn't feel comfortable with them, at all, and their appearance was not Professional.
Bee Bee advised my husband that he don't make money off of $45 service calls, and continued on with a conversation about how he can't stay in business with just $45 service calls. We recalled, a year ago, having called CHW about the same issue; no cold air flow. We reverted back to who CHW sent during that time. Thankfully, we keep records of things of such. We called Elmostafa **, HQS. We asked him if he would be available to come take a look at our air conditioning system. Mr. ** was very nice and came later that evening when he was done with other clients. Mr. ** took pictures, as CHW instructs, and sent the information in to CHW. CHW immediately declined our claim. Reason - rust related leak - failure due to rust. Our argument - With someone coming out last year (2016), why wasn't this matter caught during that time? Instead, Freon was provided in 2016.
I feel as though due diligence wasn't given to our concerns in 2016, that caused the rust related issues this year, that has allowed CHW to be able to deny our claim. This is their behind the scenes business practice to deny claims. Desired Settlement: Repair. We are simply asking for CHW to finish the job and repair our air conditioning system, as specified it needs repairing by Elmostafa **, under the home warranty plan, we have been paying into since 2012.

I have purchased this warranty after going by the ratings on Google and I should have realized this when the agent pushed me so hard to buy 5 year contract and then pushing me for 3 year etc., Anyways after 2.5 months with the company my AC compressor is gone and they have sent Morgan Air as technician to evaluate. Once he confirms that compressor is gone and need to be replaced Choice Home Warranty declined the claim saying that the compressor was not maintained properly (God knows what their definition of maintenance).
I clearly stated them that I do pay 60$ annually for taking care of the unit which they honored while writing the policy but wants a proof on the paper when it comes to claim. Unfortunately I could not locate that paper to send them and that is what they used to claim it is not maintained properly. Hence it won't be covered so the claim is denied. After speaking to their manager and explained all of this they said they can give me $150 as a good gesture. Not sure how they come up with that number but what we can see is they tried to evade the cost of maybe $1000 for the compressor with giving me the $150 which is completely unethical on their part.
Please stay away from this company as they will find every excuse when it comes to replace the part on some pretext and anyway everytime you call for some minor repairs they are charging $60 for which we can find local technicians. So, all in all this company is just making money by attracting the customers on the name of warranty. When I requested to cancel they have even imposed me $50 cancellation fee which is ridiculous and illegitimate. PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM CHOICE HOME WARRANTY!!!

Choice only paid a portion of that and said that they did not maintain that unit properly. How do you maintain a soldered coil? Are we supposed to take the unit apart and check the coil? I am very disappointed in this as I put my reputation on the line for my friends and they want to now cancel their agreement with Choice.
I would assume you do not want to lose a customer... As it would be more than one as they have referred some friends as well. FOCUS - For Our Customer Ultimate Satisfaction. That is the motto for the company I work for and I would hope Choice has something like that as well. Choice could lose more than the $400-$500 that they choose not to pay for. Do the right thing.

He left me with the impression he would be back to fix it... But he told Choice Warranty it had burnt wires which he never even looked at the wires.
M@M to me is a dishonest company. Ignoring calls instead of just telling me they could not fix it. And taking my 60 bucks and cashing the check the same day... All seems sketchy at best to me...

Choice Home Warranty sucks! I purchased warranty in January for a five year term and paid them upfront and in July my account went out. I contacted Choice for my very first claim repair. The technician they sent did not fully diagnose the problem and only informed them of the motor was burned out and needed replacing. They honored the motor repair, took them time to replace it and then the tech says the compressor failed when installing motor. Choice did not want to cover repair and claimed it was non covered. The tech later informs me that he realized something may have been wrong with compressor but never states in original claim!
I went back and forth with Choice reps and technician regarding my claim, tech miss diagnosis, coverage and Choice still would not honor my claim and said I had to pay for compressor repair it out of pocket. I paid for repair with my own money, then the company and tech came back trying to get more money from me. No, I'm not paying anymore. Now it's September and my water heater is leaking. I called Choice to file a claim on Friday and did not hear from anyone until I called again on this past Tuesday to find out what's going on. The rep tells me from jump the claim is not covered and they won't pay! What?!? Says I would be responsible for replacing water heater myself!
The policy states water heaters are covered, so how can my claim be denied from start. They send the same technician company out again from first claim and they did not do a complete diagnosis again, claims he can see the problem by looking. I had someone look at my water heater and they found the problem different place than where the tech said the problem was. I paid for home warranty services and I'm not receiving them. The customer service reps are nonchalant and non-helpful.
I have spoken with several people including managers on both claims. I get excuses, no to mediocre service and still have to pay out of pocket for what their plan says is a covered item. I have cancelled my service with Choice on 9/13/17 and the manager tells me it would take 15-30 days to receive refund. On top of the bad service I received with both claims, lack of repair, Choice deducts fees and repair cost from my refund so I am getting back only a small portion back of all the money I paid them.

Samsung/Choice washer/dryer review: We purchased a brand new Samsung washer/dryer set from Lowes February of 2016. It was later that year that we received notice of the recall on the washing machine. Samsung was receptive and provided required information on how to go about addressing this issue, but when we were speaking with them about our washing machine, we began having problems with our dryer. Clothes would come out with countless scorch marks, even on a low heat setting.
I addressed this with Samsung (since we were already communicating about problems with our washer), and their response was less than satisfactory. They basically told us that we had no options because the one year limited warranty was no longer valid. The dryer was LITERALLY a year and half old. They offered to provide us with a technician to look at it, but he informed us that it would be an expensive fix, so we may as well look at other options. Basically, the drum disconnected from the dryer, so the gap created was burning my clothing every time it turned. Needless to say, I will never purchase another Samsung appliance again.
We then decided to contact our home warranty company- Choice Home Warranty. I would like to state here that I would not advise ANYONE to go with this company under ANY circumstances. There are much better options (look at Home Warranty of America for one). When they sent out the technician to look at it, he asked which company we went through. When I told him it was Choice Home Warranty, he shook his head and said, "That's unfortunate." I can already tell you they will not fix this. How is that for building clientele? Even the repair guy had a negative opinion this company- and they are paying him.
As loyal customers for the last 2 years, they proceeded to DENY our claim. What that means is this: they refused to fix it. The representative we spoke with said they would be willing to pay us $200 toward a new dryer (1/3 the cost of our BASICALLY NEW SAMSUNG DRYER). Their reason for denying? They told me that they only cover standard wear and tear. So pretty much if anything besides old age of your appliance is an issue, you can consider it NOT covered. The representative I spoke with was nice, and felt bad for having to deny me, which is pretty terrible if you think about it. Even the people that work there feel bad for the people paying the company for their services. As far as companies go, refusing to provide the services your clients pay for is NOT good business or ethics. Apparently our need was not worth the cost to the company. My advice? Stay away from Samsung Appliances and Choice Home Warranty.

I took out this home warranty in Aug 2016. My air conditioner stopped cooling on August 11, 2017. I called Choice Home Warranty (CHW) and tried to talk to someone to make a claim, but never could reach anyone after being on hold for over an hour. Completed online claim. Was assigned a tech and he came out (owner of Mastercraft Heating Cooling). Was an hour late to the appt. Had to call him to find out where he was and if he was still coming. He did an inspection and said that the evaporator coil needed to be replaced and the duct work was too small for the unit and needed to be replaced.
He wrote up the paperwork, gave me a copy and scheduled a time the next afternoon to come back and replace the evap coil. He said he would submit the paperwork and photos for CHW. I asked him, "What does that mean for me?" and he said, "Nothing, they'll take care of everything”. I paid him $60 for service call and he left. I never heard from him and called Mastercraft after an hour after the scheduled appointment and he said that he never received approval from CHW. I then called CHW (after being on the phone for over an hour again) and was told "It was covered due to rust". What? That's the first time I'd heard that word used. Mastercraft didn't say anything to me (the homeowner). CHW also told me the tech had never sent any photos.
So, how can you deny the claim when you haven't even seen photos of the "rust”? They told me I could get a 2nd opinion (at my cost, of course) and they would re-evaluate. I got off the phone, called Mastercraft back and told him what they said, which he was surprised. He said he had filled out the paperwork and uploaded the photos online (like they are supposed to do) and asked me "Who are you going to believe, me or them??”. WOW!!! I don't like this at all!!! I asked him to send me the photos he had taken and he texted them to. I also asked him about the "rust" and he said, "All units have rust on them and some are worse than others”.
I called back and again, was on hold for over an hour, and was transferred four different times before I was connected with Doug, Claims Supervisor, Badge # **. He told me that my claim wouldn't be covered based on the evap coil being "rusted out”. I explained to him that was not communicated to me and that when I took out this home warranty contract, the rep told me that they accepted appliances in my home "as is" and did not need an inspection. Even their on-hold recording states that appliances are covered no matter how old they are. He said I could get a second opinion and they could re-evaluate. He even said he called Mastercraft again, after he put me on hold for 20 minutes.
I did call another company that has done my service for years and I have personal knowledge of their quality of work. They did say the evap coil needed to be replaced, but that the duct work was fine. However, they stated they would not work with CHW because they have been asked to lie and not be honest with customers. They also said it took over six months to get paid by CHW. So, I've now paid for another service call with another company, yet they won't work with CHW due to their past problems with them.
I have not heard from anyone at the company again, even though I have sent several emails to the "contact us" information. I just sent another one yesterday to cancel my contract and not to charge my credit card any further. I feel like CHW has loopholes in their advertising making false claims on items that are under warranty and customer contracts. At this point, I want them to either stand behind their warranty when I took out this policy or refund my money I've paid to them. You can stay on the phone for hours trying to reach someone live and in person!! Horrible customer service!!
