I was very pleasantly surprised at the speed and efficiency that the repair was taken care of. The request for service was made on a national holiday and the repair was taken care of the next morning. A job well done. I will continue to recommend Choice Warranty to anyone who asks for advice on home repair and appliance services.

The claim was processed quickly. Within one hour of me reporting the need for repair a tech was assigned and called me for an appointment. He came to diagnose the problem and within 5 minutes he knew what was wrong. The part was ordered and the tech worked with our crazy schedule. All is good with our washer. A good experience overall.

Choice did their job by sending Appliance Repair - Tim ** to come and fix the problem with my cook top. The problem being the electrode would not stop clicking for several days. The only way to stop it was by unplugging the cook top. When Tim came of course the clicking had stopped. He advised us to watch how you clean the top and said that it was ok to use. He left with of course the $45 service charge. Two days later all of the electrodes are clicking and we did not clean the top since he left that day. Now I am not sure if I should call Choice again and waste everyone's time or just get a new cooktop.

Although our repairs were not technically covered by our policy, CHW still looked at our history with their company and covered them. I thought the days of a company looking at individual cases were long gone, but CHW has our loyalty. We will never change companies.

I setup a call with the technician given by CHW and he came to my home as per the scheduled time. He checked the spark plug and told me that the plug is bad and we would need to order new one to replace it. He said that they will order new spark plug and call me when it arrives. I paid him $45 technician fee.
Then next week, I got an email from CHW asking me to call a specific CHW contact number. When I called CHW, they said that technician reported lots of grease on the spark plug and CHW doesn't fulfill the claim if it's because of mishandling. This was a total lie and there was not a single bit of grease on the cooktop. If you do not want to take care of issue with my cooktop, at least please don't lie. This is rubbish.
CHW is denying to provide service to fix my cooktop without providing me any evidence or proof for that denial. They are lying that there is grease on the cooktop because of which spark plug is bad. I asked customer rep if I call another technician for a second opinion and if he provide diff reason for the bad spark plug, will CHW reimburse for the technician visit and they denied for that too.

It took approximately 2 months to replace my ceiling fan. The initial electrician never came back to replace my fan even though I called Choice customer service about 5 different times to discuss the issue. Response received from Choice was that the part was order which was a total lie since no answers was never made to the electrician. Finally after 6 weeks the project was finally given to a second electrician that solved the issue and replaced the fan.

The response time was very good; however, I would like to suggest that in circumstances where the problem could be from one or more sources, as in my case, that the job only goes out to service companies that can diagnose and correct both sources. In my case, the first service rep who responded could only fix issues with hot water heater itself and could not even look at the breaker box. Without power going to the water heater, basically he could not determine what the problem was. The second service rep who arrived was able to diagnose and service the breaker, but not the water heater. This rep did replace a 30 amp breaker which seems to be taking care of the problem, but had it not, I would have had to had a third service call for the same initial call.

Have made numerous service requests with this company. They always have some excuse why my claim is denied. Recently My Zub/Zero refrigerator/freezer went out. Technician said there might be a possible leak, that the compressor was not working. It was not leaking and a restart resulted in it working fine. I called them, they again denied my claim. At this time I was told to file new claim on freezer which is all one unit. The only thing wrong was a thermostat on the freezer. Again when the tech, called them, they denied my claim, tech that it was a result of the restart. My technician who is with a company that has an excellent reputation, they couldn't find anyone to come, so I had to get my own company, told them this had nothing to do with the restart and was an accepted procedure.
They would not authorize payment, and I paid the invoice myself. Out of five different service requests, they have denied most. They have sent out repair companies in unmarked old vehicles, who don't show up until after 8:pm, when they were suppose to be here between 8 and 12, once the air conditioner man told them I had a leak and he never went near my air conditioner, and I had to pay him a service call. I have asked what amount my refund would be if I canceled, but have not received a reply. I would not recommend this company to anyone and would never use them again.

I had one of my heater units go out during a very cold snap in the Fort Worth Texas area. I troubleshoot the issue and provided my best knowledge of what I thought was wrong when I submitted my claim to Choice Home Warranty. Within a few minutes I had a contractor to call and start the repair process. As mentioned, a cold front was in the area and quite a few calls were inundating the heating contractors. I called the company and they told me upfront that they could not get to my house until the following day at 4 pm.
I described the issue and they assured me that the technician would have the probably fixes on his truck when he came, but that he could not guarantee a simple fix is all that it would take to complete. The next afternoon the technician arrived and they had to replace two parts - which he had on his vehicle. So within an hour or so my heating unit was up and running again - an excellent experience with the team members that Choice Home Warranty brought in to fix my problem. Thank you.

We placed a service call Sunday evening and we had the service technician next afternoon. There was a temporary confusion on approval of claim. The service technicians already unmounted my garbage disposal system and then they received call that this claim was not approved. We had a call with claim department and it was finally authorized and work was completed. These kind of stuff need to be discussed and clarified before assigning service technicians.
We switched from another service and were nervous on temporary situation but we are glad that the claim officer was finally able to get through it. If there are any conditions for a service call it has to be clarified. While purchasing warranty we cannot anticipate the time of any repair that may be needed. So the terms of warranty has to be very specific and customers like us do not suffer or switch services unnecessarily. I hope there should be efforts made by Choice to improve these smaller gaps. I rate it excellent on pricing. Thanks.

I have had my home warranty with CHW for a little over 4 years now and have only recently needed to use the service for repairs. My heater went on a weekend that the average temperature was 23 degrees! They were able to connect me with an approved general contractor that came on a Sunday to provide assistance and diagnose the issue. When I wasn't able to get in touch with the contractor after missing their appointment, I called CHW customer service at 4:30pm and they were able to get in touch with the owner of the company to make sure the contractor was still on their way. Even though a part had to be ordered, they were able to fix my heating unit the next day without any further issue!
One thing I would definitely say as long as you do your proper maintenance for your home CHW will come through when they're needed!! Definitely worth the monthly payments. This single repair would have cost well over $300 for the part not including the labor!

Claim #1. On 24 Nov 2016, my Dutch Oven went, reported to Choice Home Warranty Co. The next week a service technician arrived, technician said the over parts were no longer available and the $2,500.00 could not be repaired... A few days later I reached-out to Choice Home No-warranty and they said they can only give me $410.00, and will not replace the oven.
Claim#2. I have a contract with Choice Home Warranty, and it states they will repair my duct work specifically if it is repairable. I have been in my home for 17 years and never had a problem with my duct work up until 25 December 2016. Made a service call to Choice Home Warranty. They sent out the technician, technician went into my attic and told me the duct work would need to be re-routed because it is stopped up.
I called Choice Home Warranty and they told me my duct work was improperly installed. I asked the customer service rep are they going to pay to have it fixed? Her response was no, because it was improperly installed. My question is if it was improperly installed why has it been working since 2003, and suddenly stopped? I have paid this company for a service that they are repeatedly denied due to lack of customer service and will not own up to their contract with a customer.

I have had this company for 3 years and every time I have a claim they deny it.

All we had to do was to drain the heater and blow out the pipe and it is working fine. The associate wanted us to replace the unit for 695.00. They denied our claim. On the HVAC unit the man never opened it up and said we needed a new unit. I called my repairman and he came over and replaced a capacitor for 200.00 and it has been working for 9 months.

I currently have a drop in stove in my kitchen. I called my warranty company because a burner would not heat, and the oven would not hold the correct temperature. They sent out a repair man to look at it. Instead of calling me they sent me an email asking me to contact them. I did and they said the parts were being ordered in 5-10 business days. Then I get another email asking me to call them again. I was then informed that they could not order both parts. I said okay and then I was told I would be offered $299.99 for a replacement built in stove. I told the woman that 's not even enough to cover one and she told me that they have the right to replace it or send a check that is comparable to what I have. She was very rude and didn't seem to care about my issue just about getting me off the phone. After my 1 year contract is up I will be looking for a new company.

Before purchasing a home warranty with Choice, we verified they covered our HVAC - specifically, our propane home heating system - as our new home was previously a neglected rental property. Choice confirmed they covered our heating system. Six months later our heat went out. The repairman told Choice Warranty that our entire outdoor heating system needed to be replaced - it could not be repaired. Choice saw photos of our heating system, saw rust, and said rust negates coverage.
In speaking with the repairman, he said he once contracted with Choice Home Warranty for nearly a decade, and during that time, Choice always automatically refused to pay claims, and would always find a way to back out of coverage. He said Choice was notorious for this underhanded behavior, and stopped his contract with Choice years ago. I got suckered by Choice. Please do not give them your business.
I called to cancel with Choice and get refunded on the remainder of the money covering our contract, and they charged me with $180 worth of penalties ($50 for early termination, and $130 because they had responded to earlier calls to the property made by the previous warranty holder who sold us his house). They are a scam. They are not accredited by the Better Business Bureau, who although they have given them a "B" score online, recognize that 90% of customer reviews are NEGATIVE. Please, please, please do not give them your business.

Super quick response after call to Choice. Super repairman showed up next day. Quickly diagnosed refrigerator problem and fixed something, but it was frozen and had to de-thaw. Worked fine afterwards. Repairman couldn't fix dishwasher as parts were not available, plus I only paid one call fee for both problems. Within two days the Choice team was sending frequent emails to resolve the dishwasher issue. The team's follow-up emails to solve the issue were impressive. Ended up that Choice offered to replace the dishwasher with a low ball quality dishwasher or take a insufficient cash settlement. I had to do some negotiating to replace a top of the line (expensive) KitchenAid, but it was 24 years old and the price of equivalent dishwashers had inflated over 200%.
Anyway, we negotiated and resolved the issue after several phone calls. Won't get my check in the mail for up to 30 days... so my replacement dishwasher is out of pocket until received. Was misled at sign-up that replacement would match quality of original, which is a concern for future issues. However, the prompt handling and follow-up to resolve my issue was definitely solid 5 stars. Generally Home Warranty companies do not have a good record for response for getting things fixed quickly and matching the price and quality of replacement (if necessary). So Choice Warranty only gets 3 Stars from me in that regard... when I get my promised check.

On 11/29/16, the heater went out on my rental house. I called Choice Home Warranty (CHW), and within 24 hours they had someone dispatched. The technician stayed for 20 minutes before leaving and saying the heat exchanger was "rusted and corroded" and unusable due to safety concerns to the tenant and her one week old child. CHW denied the claim due to rust and corrosion. I asked repeatedly for proof or documentation and was told it was not allowed, as it between the contractor and CHW. I expressed the need to correct this due to inclement weather and age of tenants. I was told to get a second opinion.
I contacted All American Heating and Cooling (AHC). They arrived and corrected the problem being an external short. However due to CHW's technician diagnosis it was unsafe, the heat exchanger needed to be proven. I called CHW several times with updates, and continuously was told the claim is closed, no change was possible. That I had to contact a second company and provide receipts in order for it to be opened. AHC performed the work, where parts were covered under manufacturer warranty and performed sniffer tests showing the 98 ppm of leaking gas (less than a working gas stove burner). When providing the invoices totaling $975.00 (as instructed) to CHW, I was told that it was not covered as they did not approve it and I was offered $150.00 to go away.

As someone who works in the service industry, I have a strong principle in how a company is supposed to treat customer: transparency, professionalism and attitude toward problem solving. I have to say that I am very disappointed after only 6 months into my 5 year contract. The salesperson was nice and I gladly took his best offer since I had seen the high customer-satisfaction rating on this website.
The problem came as soon as I started using the claim service when my plumbing issue occurred. There is an annual cap for the amount of coverage I got. I didn't know it since the salesperson didn't have the need to go over the contract with me in the first place. For this, I blame myself for it. However, what really got me upset is the later when a no-cap coverage was offered to me by their retention department. I was told that an invoice would be sent to me for the new charge. Nothing came through in the next few days, but apparently they didn't delay a second in charging my credit card without my consent.
When I confronted them on this ridiculous (unlawful) way of charging customer without even presenting me with an invoice or billing statement, I was then verbally promised to wait for their email confirmation. Since they didn't deliver their promise (invoice then charge) in the first time, I demanded an invoice or an email describing what was verbally promised to me before I let them off the phone. This is when the so called customer service manager rudely told me to accept whatever they offer (confirmation #), instead of what I asked for.
Is it too much to ask for something in writing when verbal promise was not delivered? I don't think so. Can a company charge a customer's credit card without even sending a statement/bill indicating what he's buying? I really don't agree with the way this company is running its business and its representatives (poor manner). My line of work gets me in contact with about 1000 homeowners per year, many of whom are new homeowners. Word of mouth is how I promote my product, I can't imagine how Choice Home Warranty will ever get business from those I have met and will be meeting.

Choice was great. I submitted a claim for my fridge that was not getting cold and in less than a day, over the holiday even I had received an email and an automated call telling me they had assigned a repair company. Everyone called and showed up when they were supposed to as promised, even the last call telling me the results of the repair. Unfortunately my parts were no longer available but they gave me $300 towards the purchase of a new refrigerator, which was very cool and unexpected.
The only thing I was a little leery about was the service company they sent to do the repairs. No one ever answers the phone when you call them, they always have to call you back. The repair guy showed up in a 4 door sedan, no markings on the car, in sweatpants and a t-shirt. I almost didn't let him into my house. I asked him for his business card and he came me an blank invoice instead. When he undid the refrigerator he left all the screws and materials on the kitchen floor and didn't bother picking them up when he left. Sounded like he knew what he was doing but being a single female in a home it was a little scary letting him in with no proper identification of where he was from. Maybe Choice can do a little better job at screening the companies they choose to come out.
When I had my dryer problem they sent a wonderful gentleman, very polite and thorough, with a company van and proper identification and uniform, so I know they do have good companies they use, just this one was a little weird.

When the salesperson over the phone sold us the warranty he stated it "did not matter how old" our furnace was or any of the appliances etc. We told him upfront we had a furnace over 20 years old and no idea what kind of shape it was in. When we did have an issue with it and someone came out they told us the problem and send in a request to Choice to fix the issue. Choice stated it was a problem that would have taken years to become a problem - duh - we told them the age of the furnace - so they wouldn't cover it.
They got our money around $400 and all we got was an offer to pay us $100 towards the repair which was laughable as the part alone was $500, not to mention labor. I made complaints to BBB and also did a review on "yelp" - hopefully no one else, unless they have all brand new items will not go with this company. Cannot believe they rated so high here.

I have had other warranty from other companies in the past and compared to them my experience with Choice Warranty has been more positive. They are reasonable and the technicians that they have sent out have been professional and so far I don't have any complaints.

Our Kenmore wall oven's door remained locked shut after a recent cleaning cycle! We tried all the clever hints on YouTube but had no success. Next we called Choice Home Warranty and they took care of assigning a technician who quickly diagnosed the problem and ordered the parts necessary to get our oven functioning again - in plenty of time for our Christmas guests. We appreciate the professional and timely service!

It's such a relief to know your home is protected when a major appliance breaks down and choice home is a good company to choose. The only problem I had was roof coverage. It's a slippery slope and too many hoops to jump through so I wouldn't use that part of it.

I went online to get a quote and find out about this company. I spoke with a man who was pushy but fairly knowledgeable. I asked him to put our convo in an email and send which he did. I told him I was comparing and would contact him IF AND WHEN. An hour later another man called and was pushy, rude... I told him someone had already given me info and I was mid-sentence when he hung up on me. An hour after that I get yet another call and the very same thing happened. I called and asked to speak with a manager which I doubt he was and aired my shock at the poor way I was treated.
Yesterday I received 4 calls from the same number in New J. but no voice message. I called after I got out of my all day conf and I asked the man who answered to remove me from the list. Ya you guessed it, he hung up on me. I called back and expressed my feelings and told him if they gave me the warranty for free I would not do business with them...he hung up on me.

I had a very bad experience with Choice Home Warranty last year. I start with a package warranty for everything in my house and after seven months of my start I had a problem Andre kitchen sink and another water leak problem inside my garage. So when I called them for service after the guy comes over and review everything he start giving me attitude and told me, "This is a big job. I cannot do it. I have to call the company." Which is really I don't understand why he is doing that, then he went to his car ignoring me, start calling I think the company again but privately this time then he comes up to me and hand me the phone so I spoke to them and understand from the lady on the phone that they cannot cover the job because it's gonna cost $1800 according to what the guy said.
Then I asked the lady on the phone a question, "Why am paying for the warranty if you're not gonna take care of it? What I have a problem. Of course I didn't get convenient answer so I angle and the guy left. I said to myself, "Let me make sure what's going on by calling someone else as a second opinion." After I did that the guy came after today's check the problem and I swear to God he fixed it and they charge me $135 that parts and labor. I called the company back trying to get my money back for all this of the month I paid them already. Of course they refuse to do so and I had to dispute all my payments to my credit card. It was really bad experience and I wouldn't recommend anyone to deal with this company because they are a rip off with all meaning. Thank you so much and have a nice holiday to everyone.

When getting a quote, I was told CHW is rated #1, but after dealing with the company, I rate them #0 (Zero) in customer satisfaction. The absolute WORSE! First time I called was about the fan over the stove. I was told it is not covered because it is not a part of the stove. Was told it will only be covered if it's a part of the stove, but these fans are NEVER a part of the stove. When I called on the dishwasher, it took them weeks to get it looked at. Waited another week to get a reply and only after I called 3 times. Was offered $140 to replace the dishwasher. Who can buy a new dishwasher and have it installed for $140? I spent hours on hold trying to figure out why it is taking them so long to replace the dishwasher. I am still waiting.
When my well pump busted, I thought it will be taken care of because I am paying extra to cover the well pump. They assigned the work to a company that does not work on wells. So I tried to called them again. Was on hold for 27 minutes, only to be disconnected. Tried calling again, but kept getting bad signal, as if their phone system is not working. Just like another time when I was told their system is down and to call again the next day. What kind of company puts you off like that? That's bad, bad service.
Since I could not get a hold of customer service, I sent an email, but did not get a reply. While waiting, I took the time to read their "fine print" and I saw that although it says that my well pump is covered, they exclude the storage tank, the pressure tank, all the valves, the gauges, electrical wires, the pipes and even the pump. So what is covered? NOTHING!!! What am I am paying for? This is the worst company and worse customer service I have ever had to deal with.

I have had multiple claims and multiple times they have denied coverage. They did cover some cost on a few claims. Most recently my furnace went out - it began making a horrible noise and sound like a spaceship was landing on my house in the middle of the night. A technician was sent and stated a fan broke which damaged the motor of the furnace. CHW said they would cover the fan but the motor was secondary damage and that is not covered. Are you kidding me??? The same incident at the same time and they say it is secondary. They have every excuse in the book not to cover a claim!!
I spoke to a manager and said I wanted to cancel the remaining 3 years of the policy for which I prepaid for - a 5 year policy. He said I would get $0 back because they would deduct the remaining amount from what they have already paid. So I can keep them for 3 more years or cancel and get nothing! The initial customer service people are nice and helpful but if you talk to a senior person and question them they are mean and not helpful at all! I don't know if all home warranties are a scam but this company is the worst! I would not recommend to anyone at any time. Please read their contract in full before using them. They can find a way to exclude everything. Live and learn.
