My claim was processed quickly and I was contacted promptly by the service technician. The claims process was smooth and painless! The communication between Choice Home Warranty and the service provider were right on point! All I had to do was log in and make my claim electronically.

The minute you start a claim no matter how legit your claim with all supported doc and input from certified technicians they will always try to denies your claim. They said no inspection needed when you get them because they know they will not approve any claim and if they do they keep it to the minimum and the minute you send more expensive claim they will just give you 1000000 excuse why you are not covered. Be careful the minute you want to cancel they will deduct all fees they covered and cancellation fees and BS fees. At the end you get few dollars if any. Also the best part the tech they send they advised me and they mentioned that I won't be covered with them and they will deny my claim so they know them better.

Process was quick and easy. We filed a claim through Choice Warranty website. A technician was quickly assigned our case. He came out and determined what the problem was. He called Choice Warranty to tell them what it was, the order was quickly approved, and a week later our oven was working!

Ms... She was very Courteous and very helpful. Great Customer Service Skills. She Understood my situation. She was able to contact the vendor and reschedule me another vendor. I was very delight that she took the extra time to complete the request. I would think that her peers will follow her lead... Customer Service at its Best.

We've had Choice Home Warranty for about 1-2 years, we moved into the house in 2014 fall, we started noticing that our electricity bill was higher than usual, we had home warranty with a different company, they sent out a technician, he fixed the issue and did maintenance on it. The AC units worked good through the summer. Our old home warranty expired so we decided to go with Choice Home Warranty due to the high reviews and ratings.
This summer (2016) our upstairs AC unit stopped working and was not cooling the place at all, due to this the downstairs unit AC had to compensate and also started failing. We called Choice Home Warranty. They sent out a technician, who did some maintenance on it, adjusted the Freon but he stated that the units were old and are mechanically failing. He also said they needed to be replaced. Choice refused to replaced it.
The units started failing again, they sent out another technician who did and said the same thing. Choice refused to replace it again. We got our own technician, he also said the same thing, that the units are old, need to be replaced, he even took pictures and sent it to the warranty people. They once again refused to pay anything for it. Basically I paid 12000 for both units as they were mechanically failing and had to be replaced. Choice Home Warranty is horrible. They will not cover any major repairs/replacements. It's pointless to have a home warranty. It's best not to get warranty and just save the money.

They sent us a very good company, with a very knowledgeable and pet friendly repair man. Thank You!

I am extremely pleased with the services and employees of Choice Home Warranty. I have had to call them on two occasions, once for a dryer that was not working and then a week later for the washer that went out. Choice contacted a subcontractor who was prompt and repaired the dryer. The washing machine could not be repaired and Choice decided to send us a check for the replacement. Great company, would recommend to all who own a home!

My drum was not spinning on a 14 year old machine. I called on a Sunday and Choice promptly dispatched Action Appliance Service to repair.

Beware of dealing with Choice Home Warranty. They are a horror show to deal with. It has taken them two months to find a competent repairman to diagnose the issue with my stovetop. To add insult to injury now that we finally have a diagnosis they will cover the "part", but not the work required to access the part to perform the repair. In my opinion they are a disreputable company - sleazy. Horrible customer service. Deceptive coverage. Despicable.

Choice had a technician call immediately and schedule for the next day. The technician discovered that the fan went out, and had to have his company call Choice to approve the part. The company sent him back out 2 days later and the problem was solved. So I called Choice Tuesday and the problem was solved Friday.

Our Furnace was backing up and green slime was pouring out all over our floor. We contacted Choice Home Warranty to file a claim. We were followed up by a phone call to get more info on the issue. The person they recommended, set up a time to come out Friday at 9am and he would call 30 minutes prior to showing up. He never showed up, and Choice followed up and said, the guy can't get a hold of us. We explained, we talked to the guy and had an appointment. They called the guy and were told to contact us. He set up a Monday morning meeting at 9am, that time came and gone. Choice follows up and said, we are not answering his calls. We call him again, setup a meeting at 9am on Tuesday - would you believe it? No call, no show again.
Same routine - but, I called and complained, said, I want a new person, because the one using is flaky. They say okay, and I will receive an email soon, with new information. 20 minutes later, the first guy calls and says he is on his way. The guy shows up to my house an hour later, walks in with a screwdriver sticks in through the hose, looks around and says, “Okay that is good enough, you should be fine now” - and charges me the $45. It has been an hour since he has left and there is more green slimy stuff pouring out the bottom. Choice tells me to have another person come check it. Like I just want to keep spending $45 for screwdriver testing. All these wonderful reviews are either fake, or I just got a bad experience.

He was on time and did a thorough and good job. Found 2 problems and corrected both. Time will tell if problem was corrected (as the temperature outside gets colder). Problem was that the Temp inside was set at 68 and until it warmed up outside (70 degrees plus), the unit would not shut off. I think the tech did an excellent job and I am very happy with the service...

I had coverage with another company. They took great care of me but it was more expensive for both the deductible and the premium. Stupidly I thought I will shop around and see if I can save some money. I went with Choice Home Warranty. I had a problem with my Air Conditioner. I thought good thing I have coverage, but apparently I was wrong. When I called them they sent out a tech to look at it. He said it was some part that had leaked the freon. That part wasn't covered.
Then through some digging and learning on the internet My A/C didn't even have that part and it was a Schrader valve that had leaked. Now it was a pre-existing condition. When I had the coverage and the warranty everything was working fine and they covered it. After they had my money "sorry we won't cover it." American Home Shield has covered every problem I had pre-existing or not despite the problem. They cost a little more but definitely worth it. I will never stray from them again. If you want good coverage DO NOT GET CHOICE HOME WARRANTY!

I called to get a quote from Choice Home Warranty.

I have UNSUBSCRIBED at least 20 times and still get emails from them. I am not sure what it takes to get them off your back, but I wouldn't go with them because they come across as desperate and very aggressive. The cost of all this marketing has to be included in the price they charge you, as well. They need to learn to take "no" for an answer, graciously.

I bought my house about 6 months ago. Part of our agreement with the seller was a whole home warranty for a year. They bought a Choice Home Warranty package. Moved in at the beginning of summer and now it's getting almost to November. We turned on the heat and it didn't work so I called Choice Home Warranty and at first the guy said they would get up with a company and send out a tech. Well I never heard anything back so I called them.
While on the phone the lady told me that my heat stopped working last year and wouldn't be cover because it stopped before the contract started. Well the heat didn't go out last year and I didn't tell them it did because I didn't even live there yet so why would I tell them that. Why would the previous homeowner go all winter without heat. How does Choice Home Warranty know when the heat went out? So now I'm getting it fixed without using Choice Home Warranty. And I will not be renewing my contract.

We were super excited to get a home warranty through Choice. Even paid in full for 6 years along with my father-in-law who did the same thing. Which we are now looking at our option to cancel. We have had an issue with our oven for months! One problem I understand was not Choice and it was male tech that came to fix it -- didn't fix, ordered the part and never came back! In the meantime, my neighbor messed with it and fixed it so Choice gave us that $ which we gave to him. But then a different issue happened and now they are dragging their feet and said they paid us.
They paid the $165 which was labor but we didn't even use the piece they ordered for the tech as we didn't have it; the tech does! I mean, by now, for as much as we pay for the warranty they could have replaced it and been done... But we have been dealing with this since July!!! Every time we call we get different people with different answers. Just need some consistency and an oven that works or we are going forth with cancellation. So far our experience with our first issue has not been a good one. We aren't even sure what to do at this point other than to cancel and get a refund.

I understand by the posted rules online that you are to replace my unit with a like unit and it is to be installed also. The replacement value allotted me was. I understand by the description of replacement online that I was to get a unit comparable to the unit that failed. I was given a value which was $50 less that one that would replace mine. I was also not given any money to pay to have the unit installed and I believe that that is also in the description. I am also being made to wait thirty days for the check which I do not believe is right. The check should have been sent to me already. I was given 250 dollars to replace a 300 dollar machine and I have to install it myself. You could do better than this and making me wait for the replacement is not good at all.
Many things in this transaction have been done wrong. I will have a tough time recommending your product with the way this deal has been progressing. When the check arrives and I replace the unit I will be filing a complaint with you for making me shop for the replacement unit and for making me install it. The repairman and response time for him was the only thing that was great.

I had to call numerous times for them to get it DONE... and now the tech tells me he can't come today because they are all booked up. So now I have no idea when the work will be completed. Did I mention that I live in Texas and its been 95 degree EVERYDAY with no A/C!!! I'VE NEVER IN MY LIFE had this issue when I was with American Home Warranty. Choice blames the tech and the tech blames Choice but ME THE PAYING CUSTOMER IS THE ONE THAT LOSES with no empathy or offer to rectify from Choice!!! Once I have this issue fixed I will begin looking to go back to American Home Warranty.

October 18, 2016. Warranty person said wires were exposed and represented a hazard to him. Choice read his notes and agreed. All this came to be because the contractor, A+, said, in processing the issue with unit not heating or cooling, that he needed to replace a motor. I requested the motor so I could give it to someone who had recently evaluated the hvac. A+ guy said I did not own the motor that Choice did and he would not/could not give it to me. It had to be sent to Choice. I called Choice and got all sorts of answers. Bottom line, it did not need to be returned. He was obviously not comfortable with me asking for the part. I asked 4 different ways.
Finally, he and Choice agreed that there existed some circumstance that did not allow my heat to be fixed for the upcoming cold weather. In my personal opinion, bad warranty. I got Choice so that I could evaluate them before recommending them to buyers and seller of homes as I own a real estate company. I work with many warranty companies. This will NEVER be one of them!!! For buyers and sellers. I have done this with several companies over 30+ years of real estate transactions. MY OPINION, GO SOMEPLACE ELSE FOR A WARRANTY.

Very dissatisfied - Requested a refrigerator service but it was not provided due to the lack of payment to the service provider. He claims to be over $2000 since August. I kept waiting for a week until I reached the technician and gave me the bad news because he was waiting for a payment that never received. Claims are not followed up. Called for another service and I was told that I have to wait until somebody respond to the request. So there is no urgency to help the customers, mean time is over $200 food damages and because the lack of payment from Choice was the issue, it is irrelevant on how or when they can provide the service according to the customer service and any loss.

Do not sign up for this home warranty, I made that mistake... Their monthly fees are lower but you pay the price when you have a claim. Out of 6 claims I had with them they only covered one because it was a low cost simple repair to my dryer. Any other claim we had (pool pump, pool heater, A/C, garage door and dishwasher) they found a way to not cover it.
One was due to rust the other poor maintenance, pool pump was secondary so they don't cover, and the last one I am going to have with them is my dishwasher... They don't want to bother repairing a fairly new dishwasher because the plumber they sent out replaced the main board and still not working after 10 days... So now they offering a cash out for $169 for a $300 Whirlpool less than 3 years old. I told them I prefer they replace it and they said no, they reserve the right to the cash out per contract. Beware of this company is all I can say! Sure the service visit is a little lower because they scam on everything else related to your claims.

When dealing with this insurance company we filed our first claim because my air conditioner fan was sticking and there was a very, very tiny, small Freon leak. They sent an air conditioning company out to take a look at our unit and they said that it's not anything pre-existing and it should be covered. When I talk to the Choice Home Warranty they said that it will not be covered because it looks to be pre-existing and there was rust on our air conditioner coils but there was no rust on the coils. Me and my husband were standing right there when they took it apart and we're standing right there when the air conditioner company called the insurance company to explain the problem and they didn't mention anything about rust. So they lied. I asked the insurance company for a second opinion so they sent out another company and this company also said that it should be covered.
Later I got a phone call from Choice Home Warranty and they said it wasn't covered because I wasn't maintaining it well so I called the air conditioning company and they said that it has nothing to do with the maintenance of it and that it was in good shape. I called and I talked to the manager up at Choice Home Warranty and she said she would look into buying the parts and that how much the labor was and because I was complaining why it wasn't covered and then she called me back and said that because it cost too much that they would not cover it.

Hello everyone. If you thinking on purchasing home warranty be aware of Choice. Run as fast as you can from this company. All their reviews are fake. This company liars and biggest fraud, I do not understand why they still in business. No additional explanation needed. Please read below. It is all true, I just had pleasure dealing with Choice and it was a nightmare.
First technician that was chosen by Choice did not returned call. Why should they? According to Attorney General this company owes over 22,000 to technicians that work for them. Second person that did returned their call was unlicensed and after 5 minutes laying on the floor attempting to find something under my dryer without touching appliance with his hands, told me valve need to be replace for that he will need approval from Choice, he collected $60.00 service fee and left.
Next day I received E-Mail requesting me to call Choice, they do not answer in writing. I called Choice and representative advised me that my claim denied because of preexisting condition. I Called Sears. Their technician came few days later and it took 15 minute, advising that is simple sensor was changed on the fly and I paid him $60.00 service fee. Sears also offers Home warranty and it is fantastic. They only use license technicians.

I made my first claim with Choice Home Warranty when I noticed a water spot in my ceiling. My normal plumber said he'd repair for $100, yet I figured I'd utilized my home warranty because I only have a $45 deductible, right? Well, that didn't include having to have someone cut a hole in the ceiling for the plumber to even diagnose the claim, and the cost to subsequently have it patched.
So the plumber comes today, finds a small leak at the joint of the copper pipes. He steps outside to call it in to CHW, comes back in and says the claim was denied. I called the claims department myself and spoke with a "claims supervisor" who said that the technician told them there were multiple leaks in the pipe and corrosion. I put the phone on speaker and he flat out told them that he told them there was ONE small leak around the joint and that there was no corrosion - when he called them for authorization to complete the repair. They asked if there was a green spot on the pipe. He said yes - that happens when a copper pipe gets wet - it oxidizes and forms a green spot. That is NOT corrosion. So basically, they're ASSUMING a pipe is corroded from a green spot, despite the fact that a trained licensed professional who personally diagnosed the leak says there is not corrosion.
Needless to say, I am a litigation examiner, I know insurance, policies and how to sue the pants off of those who deserve it. This should be fun. But in the meantime, I get to come up with an extra $200 to pay the plumber today. Also - their customer service is crap. They claim they've called you but never once pick up the phone and actually do it.

So basically if you do not live in a brand new home everything is pre-existing or not covered. I've had this warranty for about a year. In that year I called about my oven going out - not covered as it was pre-existing even though it was working the day before and went out. So nothing. Had a leak in the toilet - sent the WORST PLUMBER ever to come. You are at the mercy of who they choose to contract. He did a horrible job and we had to finish the work ourselves. They say they will cover leaking shower in the contract, but guess what...they don't. Then last night our pipe leaked and the water busted the ceiling. Plumber came out - verified leak - well guess what again - they don't cover rust in the pipes of galvanized pipes.
SO with that being said, I am going to cancel the policy because they cover NOTHING. I have given them money so they can deny me at every turn. So if you buy an older home this company IS NOT for you. Also, when you read what they actually cover it's pretty much nothing. They have nailed down that verbiage. I also noticed on this site that all negative reviews are whited out as unverified, but all rave reviews are glowing.

When I went online to see the ratings of that company they were all terrible.

In August in Texas one can't go very many hours without a/c and I didn't even think about getting authorization.
At the same time I had a problem with the refrigerator; they sent a technician who told me what part was needed but I never heard from him again.

In February 2016 I was contacted by a salesman representing Choice Home Warranty, I was solicited in a very aggressive way to purchase a home warranty contract. The sales attendant promises the world regarding what the contract will cover over the 3.5 years for which I purchased based on the pitch from the sales representative. Since acquiring the protection, I attempted on three claims and on each of the attempts I was turned down as the claims department puts a spin on what's covered and what is not. I argued my position and the company settled each claim with a lower payment for the work needed. On one case my dishwasher broke and they sent a repairman and the bill was over 600 dollars to repair. They refused and I argued the fact the salesman told me each appliance is covered up to 1000 per year.
Well what they don't tell you is the depreciation of the dishwasher would play into the amount they would approve for the repair. The company has very aggressive sales practices and after the fact provides a contract which unless you are an attorney you cannot understand what is covered and what is not. I was told I can cancel at any time and although it's true they will pro-rate the contract and subtract any paid to date repair paid by the company. This was never discussed in the sales practices of the company representative. If banks need to abide by truth in lending disclosures this company should be more transparent when selling these bogus policies.

To repair the dryer was a little over $200 and they denied the claim saying it was pre-existing even after telling me that after 30 days everything was good to go. The fact that the dryer was only 16 months old and it just happened was never considered or accepted. They accused me of waiting to after the 30 days and using a laundry service.
The service person told me that Choice Home Warranty was the worst for not paying and he was right. If they wouldn't pay a $200 claim on an almost new appliance I feel confident that they would weasel out of paying anything on other claims. So be very careful if you are looking for a home warranty.

My air conditioner went out completely in August of this year. I submitted a claim and after several hours had gone by, I had heard nothing. I called them and was told it would be the next day at the earliest before someone would come to look at it, but no telling how long until it would actually be fixed. I told them I was sure I could get someone here that day and that if I could I would cancel my contract with them. I was told that I could go ahead and hire someone on my own and be reimbursed for the charges later. I just needed to let them know before actually having the work done.
I did have someone from Ike's Air Conditioning come to my home that day who determined that the air conditioning system had to be replaced. I contacted Choice Home Warranty about this, telling them that the work would be completed the next day. Actually, there were several phone calls back and forth between Choice and me. I stayed in close contact with them to make sure that there would be no problems later on. I was told that the invoice needed to indicate a specific diagnosis. I passed that along and, in fact, it does. I was told repeatedly during these calls that I would submit the necessary paperwork after the work was completed and that I would be reimbursed for the charges.
When I received the claim form, I was concerned because it required an "authorization number" and in all of these phone calls I had never been given an authorization number. The person that I spoke to told me that it wasn't required. So, after I received the invoice from Ike's Air Conditioning, I submitted it and the claim form to Choice Home Warranty as I had been instructed to do. I was told that it would take 30 days for me to receive my check. I waited the 30 days and then called to inquired about it on September 28, 2016. I was told that my claim had not been reviewed.
This morning, September 29, 2016, I received a phone call telling me that a call was made this morning to Ike's Air Conditioning to get a diagnosis on the air conditioning system and that they had refused to give one. It was suggested that I call Ike's to attempt to get that resolved. I agreed to do that but after pointing out to him that this should have all been resolved a month ago. Before I called Ike's, I looked at the invoice and it clearly says "Diagnosed old system with blown compressor and melted disconnect switch."
So, I called Choice back to see what their problem was with this diagnosis before calling Ike's and at this point was told that the claim was being denied. They said that I had not received prior authorization. I did, in fact, speak with people at Choice Home Warranty several times and was told to go ahead with the work, submit the paperwork later and I would be reimbursed. To me, that constituted prior authorization. I assumed they keep records of their phone calls and what the customer is being told during the calls. I was told that the authorization number was not necessary. Something was said this morning about the technician needing to speak to someone there, but that was never mentioned prior to the work being completed.
This morning they said I had not followed the proper procedure and therefore, they would not be paying the claim. Basically, these people seem like crooks to me. I called them several times and they had every opportunity to give me whatever instruction I needed, but I was never told that the technician needed to speak to them. I did everything I was told to do, but then when it comes time to cut me a check, no, they will not do it because I didn't follow the proper procedure, because they didn't bother to tell me what the proper procedures were.
Needless to say, I told them to cancel my contract and then this woman has the audacity after cheating me out of $7,244.00 to offer me a $150.00 credit if I would not cancel my contract. It was all I could do to not say something really inappropriate. Instead I just said "absolutely not!" So, my opinion of Choice Home Warranty is that they are a bunch of crooks and I would not suggest anyone do business with them.

I purchased this warranty in May 2016. This is the first time I made a service call and was shocked to find out that I was misled by the representative who sold me this warranty by making wrong statements. I was told at the time of purchase that I will be given 3 service calls free of charge if I buy a three year plan with 6 months of extended service. He also explained that I can use these three services anytime - no restriction. On top of that he said I can cancel my service anytime if I'm not satisfied without any surcharge which is again incorrect. After I made the first call today I got to know what all he said was just to mislead and to make a sale at that time. I didn't expect such cheating and misleading statements from the employees of such a big company.

Choice Home Warranty is not motivated in helping customers. Their advertising is misleading and you are not covered. The first contact when you have a claim is a service center coached in asking dis-qualifying questions. Once these questions are answered to the best of some poor service provider's knowledge, the claim will be DENIED. Two things Choice Home Warranty is good at: One, taking your money.

I accepted at first but later called and told them to keep the $200.00 and cancel my warranty. They had taken my payment out for the month, however told me I was not due a refund since they waived the cancellation fee of $50.00. What sense does that make. If you waived the $50.00 that means I am due at least a partial refund on my monthly payment or to waive to them means we are deducting this amount from your monthly payment. Always an excuse!!

This is the worst home warranty company! Do not do business with these people! We purchased a home warranty a year ago, during that time we submitted 3 different claims. We were denied each time for the most bogus reasons. First problem, our pool pump went out (which is covered) but they said our valves had air in them, so the valves broke the pump. We said, "Then please fix the valves (which is covered)" and again they said, no... BECAUSE OUR PUMP IS BROKEN and that's probably what broke the valves! After arguing for days, we ended up dishing out $800 for a new pump and the service guy said he doesn't think the valves are an issue, but slapped on a little glue to keep the air out.
Problem 2 - a few months later, we're having an issue with our pool running and called home warranty again, they said they're sending anyone out because they already denied our first claim! We told them we paid for repairs and this is a separate issue. They would consider ordering a service call once we submit our receipt and prove we paid for it (which we did). They called us back and said our claim was Denied!! Insufficient receipt!! They wanted serial numbers and itemized list of all parts. Denied! We call again 2 months later for an issue with the pool not heating. Guess what... DENIED! We were told that they looked at the photos from the first repair and it stated that we had LEAVES IN OUR SKIMMER which is why our pool isn't working! This company is a fraud! Don't go near Choice Home Warranty!!! They play games and make up bogus reasons. Shameful!

I signed up with Choice one year ago based on some positive reviews I had seen online and this was the first and only claim I submitted since opening my account. The whole claim process from start to finish was handled poorly in my opinion, and several of the Choice supervisors I spoke with were rude, and/or took no action to help or offer solutions. After initially opening the claim for my ac unit that stopped working, Choice assigned a technician, however, that they never responded to the house. 5 days later, a second technician was assigned by Choice, who finally went to the house after a week of the ac being out. A few days later, I get an email message from Choice stating to contact them about the claim. I tried calling multiple times but each time I reached the customer service rep, I was told I needed to talk with a “supervisor”.
It took an additional 2 days of calling and waiting on hold for hours to finally reach a supervisor that could provide details on the status of the claim. This was 10 days after the claim was opened and 10 days without air conditioning in Georgia! When I finally talked with a supervisor, I found the claim was being denied due to some rust and corrosion on the ac unit evaporator and condenser. In the fine print of the contract, under Limits of Liabilities, Section F1 and F8, they have the right to deny any claim if the equipment has any signs of rust. It doesn't matter how much, or how insignificant it is, if that is the diagnosis by the technician that they send out, they will deny the claim. I find this completely unacceptable since ac unit sit outside in the elements, and is made of materials that are prone to rust.
I have confirmed with multiple technicians that it is normal to get rust and corrosion on those parts and that is why the units get serviced regularly, as I mine has been over the 8 years of its life. I then went through several steps and additional hours of frustration trying to present my case but after 2 weeks, and to avoid further days without ac, I decided to have the original technician that Choice sent to diagnose the problem replace the entire ac unit. From the installation until 3 months later, the situation has been an unbelievable nightmare. The technician was not able to get the new unit to work properly for 3 months, and caused significant damage to my home during the process. I contacted Choice multiple times to see if they could help since they had sent the technician to do the repair, but they stated they were not responsible for the technicians they send out and since I was paying it was my responsibility to deal with it.
I also questioned the technicians original diagnosis that they based their refusal on since its obvious after 3 months of not being able to get the ac to work that his competence is in doubt but they stated there was no way to prove that the original diagnosis may have been incorrect. Choice did eventually send a new technician to inspect the new unit when it was leaking, but denied any claim because it was now under warranty by the technician who installed it! After 3 months of the new ac not working, I hired a new reputable company to remove that system and install a new one. It worked immediately and has continued to do so for weeks since. Throughout this process, I have spoken with many Choice supervisors and escalation supervisors and very few of them were professional or helpful.
I even sent two emails to their "consumer advocate" who couldn't even bother to reply to me. Supposedly, I received a response through the Choice website but it wasn't signed or identified as coming from that office so I don't know if it was them that responded or not. If any of the supervisors would have offered some type of resolution I would have accepted and moved on but it seems that their goal is to deny, especially more expensive claims. I would recommend before dealing with this company that you scrutinize the contract for these "catch all" clauses to deny claims.
After this issue I found that there have been class action lawsuits against them for similar actions, so this is not an isolated issue. I would also be weary of the technicians they utilize, I have found from my experience that they go for the cheapest company that will take the job, and then they accept no responsibility. It probably goes without saying that I decided to drop my coverage with Choice Home Warranty. I've never experienced customer service this bad before, it just was a waste of money and time dealing with them. I would not recommend them to my enemies!

Similarly, just think about AC issues. They will say that the value of old AC is worth fractions and they will offer peanuts and ask you to repair/reinstall on your own. Beware of the plans.

Plumber came out and told me my sink was stopped up because of too much rice. Said home warranty would not pay for unstopping it, it was my responsibility. I appreciated his honesty. That call was suppose to also be free but ended up me paying for the job.

I used my home warranty for the first time. My A/C went out. I called Choice in the evening when it happened and immediately got a claim number. The next morning I received the information of who to contact. I called the service people and they already had my work order. The serviceman came out that afternoon and fixed my air conditioning. I was more than happy.

The Mira Home Repairs technician arrived at my home at the agreed upon appointment time the day after my initial order was placed. He was very courteous and professional. He was very patient and methodical as he explained every step in the process while fixing my plumbing issue. I am extremely please with my recent experience with both CHW and Mira Home Repairs.

Had service work done in July BY J&J Heating and Cooling. Service man acted as if he didn't know just what to do for our a/c, but anyway he ended up removing Freon and was told the compressor was needing replaced and that Choice Home Warranty will not repair or replace so he grabbed his equipment and left without me getting an invoice from him. I contacted you and told my concern. CHW has tried contacting the service man. Guess he refuses to reply back.

The technician was on time and was able to identify the problem within minutes of his arrival. Fantastic and thorough! I was very pleased with the speed in which the repair was completed. The technician, Don, with St. Clairs was professional and made sure that all parts of the unit were inspected and running properly.

After contacting CHOICE and explaining my problem I was promptly contacted by Total Tech Electric. I was pleased that they left a complete phone message since I was not at home when they called. Arranging for a repairman was easy. My Total Tech technician arrived and was very professional and friendly. He solved my problem within minutes! I call this good business!

I placed a service call on August 10, 2016 via the web for my AC. It was running constantly. It was assigned to Cortinas & Sons. I received directions that I was to call Cortinas & Sons to set up an appointment for service. This was odd as I did not have to set up an appointment myself with my prior HOW company. It was handled by HOW company. I called Cortinas several times over the course of two days. I left several messages on their machine and received no return call.
On the second day after no response I called the Choice Customer service and stated my issue. I requested a new service company as I had not received a response from Cortinas. I was told by the very snotty agent that I was required to wait 48 hours before calling with issues. I again told her I had left several messages for Cortinas to no avail. She said that she would call them and placed me on hold. She picked up after a few minutes and stated she had set it all up and she further stated they picked up after the first ring!!! Really?
I asked her if she had a different number for them as I had called them several times. She said no, they have the same numbers that they give to the clients. The whole time I had a conversation with her I felt I was putting her out. She really was very snotty. I could hear her sighing. I don't pay for a service to be treated like I was. She really needs her customer service skills stepped up a few levels or get a new job. When Cortinas arrived they were very professional and courteous. They fixed my AC unit without issue and were on their way within the hour. Greatly dissatisfied with the live customer service. Very satisfied with the repair!

BEST contractor ever (Eternity Pools).... contractor was prompt, professional... outstanding service. I would HIGHLY recommend Eternity Pools. He could have easily told me I needed a new Pool pump... he fixed a wire in the pump and it worked again! Very HONEST!

The people at Choice were very helpful. The serviceman took a week to order parts for my dryer, so Choice expedited the parts delivery to overnight, so I wouldn't have to wait even longer. This was very helpful and the fair thing to do. I would recommend Choice to others...

Initially I was a little disappointed because I was informed by the service provider that they would likely be unable to come to my home until Monday due to other commitments and a shortage of personnel. (I spoke with them on Friday.) However, I appreciated the fact they explained why they -- more than likely -- wouldn't be able to come to my home until Monday. At least I had electricity and ran several fans, so I was 'prepared' for the long run, so to speak.
To my delight, however, I received a call from them late Saturday afternoon. They informed me they'd arrive within the hour. Once they arrived, they went right to work and diagnosed the problem in a short time period. They then remedied the situation and my air conditioner was running again within the hour. They also educated me as to was causing the problem and how I could assist in precluding future problems. This husband and wife team were extremely personable and professional. I had complete confidence in their abilities.

Our air conditioning stopped working during summer, when the temperature was above 110 degree. I called customer service and was worried how fast it will be repaired (the indoor temperature was in the mid 90 degrees). In less than 24 hours I had a very good technician (Jeremy) who took care of our problem and did a fantastic job.

Service provider called on Saturday to hear us describe the problem and called on Sunday to set up Noon Monday appointment. Donell ** of CONTROLLED CLIMATES came as promised and fixed it quickly on Monday. Whew are we glad we bought the contract (3.5 years worth)!

We have been members of CHW for about two years. We have had to make several claims over that time and I cannot say enough nice things about this company. They respond immediately whenever I submit a new claim online and they follow up to make sure we are satisfied with the service we received. The people who work for CHW are all wonderful and actually care about your claim. They want to make sure the company they have chosen to handle your claim is up to all our standards. We had one claim where the company they chose didn't work out. We were apologized to and another service provider was sent to our home the next day. I cannot say enough nice things about CHW and I tell everyone I know to call and get the service as well. The price is right and service is excellent and the people are great. I highly recommend CHW to anyone who will listen. Thank you for the chance to say thank you.

I was researching home warranty companies and came across Choice Home Warranty. When the individual called me today and I tried to explain that I was still researching and asked if there was a number to call him back. He kept trying to push me to make a decision. I finally said that he either needed to provide a number that I could call him back or the call was over and he hung up on me. I will go with a different company.

They only talk and make big promises to impress customers but when it comes to keep their words then they do not do anything. Don't buy their warranty unless you want to get frustrated. They only cover small expenses that is also after lot of calls and follow-up and headache. They will not cover any bigger expense and will always give you some excuse.

We could not be happier with our purchase of a Choice Home Warranty plan. Obviously we were skeptical before our purchase. We were VERY pleased however when our garbage disposal started leaking and we made our first service call/request. The response was fantastic. Within hours of submitting our claim, Tom from ALL PRO CAROLINA'S was scheduling our service call. Mike, the technician was on time, had the part we needed and installed it in less than one hour. Did a great job! My wife is happy and I got all the credit for signing up with Choice Home Warranty. You have made a believer out of me. Thanks.

I got Choice Home Warranty early in the year, and have had only one Claim so far. The Claim was serviced and I thought all was well. Only to find out soon that it was only a partial fix (not the root cause). Less than 40 days from the service, the same issue occurred again. Upon calling Choice Home Warranty, they state they can ONLY GUARANTEE THE SERVICE FOR 30 DAYS. If I need service, even if it's for the same issue, I'll have to open a "new" claim and pay the $60 service fee again. I find that very hard to digest.
Hypothetically - Imagine putting a temporary fix again this time. And after every 31-40 days, it breaks again. I'll just have to keep paying 60$ endlessly to keep this issue in check. And there's nothing I can do about it. I spoke to a Claims Representative and a Claims Supervisor at Choice. They are just not willing to do anything about it (except, of course, open a new claim and take another 60$ from me). To me, it seems like a money making exercise. Others may have had a better experience with Choice, but for me it's very unsettling.

Good service, although there was a glitch to begin with. The first technician quickly determined that our microwave was old and couldn't be repaired. However, he failed to send his report to Choice so we could go to the next step. When I contacted Choice a week and a half later, they said they would send another tech out and that there would be no service for this visit. The second guy concurred with the first, quickly sent his report, and Choice called me back the next day. Since the unit couldn't be repaired, they agreed to send me a check. It's not enough to replace the unit, but I didn't expect that. I was very pleased with Choice's quick and professional response.
