The service rep "Chris" did a good electrical job in replacing the fan as an electrician. The fan replacement was properly done, the fan works very well and he did a good job and in good time. I would however make the suggestion that the customer have a choice in the fan style. The rep that I spoke with was very courteous and helpful in both conversations I had with her. We appreciate having the warranty. Thank you!

I purchased a 6 year policy about a year ago, and since I had never owned this type of insurance before I was somewhat apprehensive. The reason that I purchased the policy is that I had earlier been diagnosed with stage four cancer, and I was looking for ways to make life easier for my wife if I was no longer around. I used the policy for the first time recently because of some plumbing problems and I could not have been more pleased. The problem was handled quickly and professionally.

I was sold a Choice Home Warranty and told that I needed to sign up right away to take advantage of their special offer. I told them that I was building a new home and was interested in the warranty for the future home and probably wouldn't need one for 6-8 months. I was told they would activate it upon my request but that I had to agree in order to "lock in" the special. Long story short, they billed me and started covering a home that didn't even exist. Every time I tried to resolve this matter, I was placed on infinity hold and no one would refund my money. How can a company insure a home that never existed and when brought to their attention, wouldn't be willing to immediately make it right? BUYER BEWARE!!!

My A/C went out over the weekend while we were having 100 degree weather. CHW sent me a technician over the weekend. While the first company that responded did a very poor job and never fixed the issue, CHW stood by their service and sent me a 2nd Tech from a different company. The 2nd gentleman was absolutely amazing, he found the problem that the first tech did that only 1/2 fixed my problem. A/C is now running smoothly and seems to be colder than ever. The 2nd Tech even called a couple of days later to check to see how things were running and everything was good. Absolutely amazing. Thank you CHW for your excellent customer service.

We had been using another home warranty company for over two years. We took a gamble and switched to Choice Home. The monthly fee was less, the claim deductible was less, and the contractors have been showing up much quicker. There were times we had to wait for almost a week and then several other days for parts to come in. We have been very pleased with Choice Home Warranty and highly recommend it to our friends. It gives you a peace of mind knowing that many repairs are fix at a much lower cost.

Choice Home Warranty covers all my appliances. The first time I called for service, after paying my $45.00 co-pay and having met with the repairman, I was informed that they would not cover the repair. I was very upset and had a lengthy discussion about my coverage plan. I was very pleasantly surprised when they came through with the replacement value of my washer. I have dealt with other service companies and expected the worse. It is a breath of fresh air to be able to deal with a place that will honor their contract. I have purchased an expensive contract tied in for three years but as of now. I am happy with the outcome and service. I hope that I don't have to use them again but at least I know they will be there for me.

Mr. Appliance was my service provider. My appt was set and repairman was excellent. He greeted me with a smile, tools, and protective door mat and show covers ready. He completed the repair in reasonable time considering he was on hold with Choice for at least 30 min to get an authorization for the parts and repair. Waiting in a hot garage with no A/C takes patience. Our heat waves here are unbearable. He was very polite and once he got the authorization he was done quickly. I was happy and recommend Choice Home Warranty to all my family and friends.

If you're planning to have a home warranty policy be very careful and shop around. I choose Choice Home Warranty company and that was nothing but a huge disappointment. This company just taking your money. Sending you never heard professionals with unmarked car, and later I find out everybody has a horrible customer report online. Finally a company declared my AC compressor has to be changed. My unit was always well maintained, but of course they denied the coverage due to the lack of maintenance. I am assume all the positive feedback from customer are fake. Do not hire this company. If you're calling them about your claim take 30-40 minutes to get through to them. After you talk to them they most of the time will decline your claim and when you canceling them they will charge a cancellation fee for each months you still have the coverage with them. I made a big mistake because I didn't search deep enough into their history.

The New Jersey State Attorney has already found this company guilty for refusing to pay their claims and have continued to investigate them because after being penalized, they have continued to commit fraud on their clients. They told me to have my contractor call when he was about to complete AC repairs. He called and was told to proceed with repairs and then they refused to honor it because he did not get an authorization code. Even after they admit that he called them.

I had Choice Home Warranty for three of my rental homes. I had one claim filed for the repair of my ice maker in one home, for which I had insurance. 7 months later, after over a dozen phone calls and several repair service technicians passed the buck, still not fixed. Each time I called I got someone new and have to repeat the issue. They even made me pay the $40 service call fee twice for the same. No one takes ownership of the issue and it has been a terrible and unreliable service experience. Would not recommend using them ever again. Buyer beware... The promises they make are promises they will not keep.

They have been taking my money for a year now as a customer. The two times I called them for repairs the AC guys made a temporary jerry-rigged repair, and I was told they would come back to finish their work. Never got a callback or email about them coming back out and my AC is still broken because they said the part was not covered on the second call but took my money on both calls. The AC broke after the first repair was not completed and now they will not cover the part it broke because the first part was not repaired very professional.
Why would I pay for home insurance for them to just take my money? I am out of AC and they still won't send anyone out. I am taking this to the Attorney General's Office and Better Business Bureau for investigation about their unprofessionalism and how they just take money and do not complete repairs. Do not waste your money or time with their customer service department or company. They are a bad company and do not repair what they should.

Horrible customer service. They are eager and quick to get you to sign up and take your money and want you in a contract. But when you have ANY issues, they do EVERYTHING that they can to get out of paying and or assist you in ANY way. I had an electrical issue... called and requested assistance. 3 weeks and they still could not get someone to come out and diagnose the issue. I ended up calling out my own electrician and paid for it out of pocket. NO help from them, and they did not care at all about the issue. The best one was my AC went out couple of weeks ago. I had my own technician come out and diagnose it, and found I needed a new unit due to compressor issues. Called Choice, they sent their own tech of choice out and he said the same thing. BUT to no surprise they said that what had made the unit go out was not covered... and that WE did not do nor take care of it properly and therefore was not covered at ALL.
I notified them that the unit had been properly taken care of in the past 2 years. I recently bought the house and also had AC company go completely through all units before I purchased home. The broken AC has over 5 service calls of preventative maintenance and also service calls to fix that unit within the past 2 years. Also the same tech that they sent Hills AC was the one that I used to install my new one. I spoke with him and even have pictures of the coils and was notified that for the age, the coils looked great and that the issue was in no way due to lack of maintenance or something we did not do. All in all, they are crooks and thieves and will not do anything to help and assist you and your family. I 110% wish I had gone with another warranty company other than Choice Home Warranty during the purchase of my home. Feel free to contact me at ** if you would like more information or proof of documentation.

After a pretty high-pressure sales call, and promise after promise of how they are the highest rated home warranty company, then they kept cutting the costs and adding on free months, I finally signed up. They boasted about how they would cover any existing appliance or system in your home. They required a 30 day waiting period before they would provide any service, which is quite understandable. Otherwise I'm sure people would take advantage by having broken equipment calling for a warranty and then expecting immediate repair.
I took out this warranty about three months ago. We are a small family of three so our appliances do not get a lot of use. About three days ago our washing machine started making a noise. So yesterday I called the warranty company thinking I was doing the right thing in calling early enough before it became a worse situation. I was impressed that a technician was out this morning, the very next day. I was beginning to be totally impressed.
But then the phone call came. When they explained to me that it was a pre-existing condition and was not covered by the warranty, of course I could see any future calls coming down the pike as being considered pre-existing condition. How would one know if there were something wrong with an appliance if it were working perfectly? I explained to them that the washing machine is still working, but it started making a very loud noise. The technician told me that a bearing was going out. How would a regular homeowner know this until it started making a noise?
Totally and completely unimpressed with Choice Home Warranty. Definitely would not recommend. When we purchased the home a year and a half ago it came with a warranty from First American. I had to make a call to them about a microwave issue, and once about a plumbing issue. Probably things that had been brewing for a while, could've been pre-existing possibly, but they repaired them as you would expect a warranty to do.

I recently had a leak in one of the cold water pipes running across the ceiling in my main bathroom. Called Choice Home Warranty and 24 hours later I was contacted by a serviceman. He removed a 2' X 2' section of sheetrock (soggy through and through), located the pin hole leak in the copper tubing, cut out a section and used a "shark" connector to connect the two pieces. Problem fixed. The next day, I received a call from Choice Home Warranty telling me the leak was not covered as it was behind an obstructed ceiling (i.e. sheetrock). Their warranty says, "Note: HWA will provide access to plumbing systems through unobstructed walls, ceilings or floors, only and will return the access opening to rough finish condition."
I read them the warranty and asked how this wasn't covered. The first person I talked to said they don't cover obstructed walls or ceilings. I stated that the ceiling was not obstructed, the pipe was behind sheetrock. An obstructed wall would be like, for example, a bookcase in front of the sheetrock, and that in excess of 99% of all plumbing is behind sheetrock in any home. She said there would have to be a hole there first for it to be covered.n Obviously, I was incredulous about that answer. I then asked her why they would cover the repair to the sheetrock 'access' opening to a rough finish condition if it was already open? She didn't have an answer for that.
I then asked for a supervisor and was connected to "Arkim" (first name only). He basically repeated what the first woman had said, and that I "wasn't reading the warranty correct(ly)." I then asked to speak to his supervisor and his response was "There is no one above me you can talk with." I would WARN anyone interested in using Choice Home Warranty about this experience. The warranty says what it says, not what the Choice employees (in their infinite wisdom) choose to interpret it saying. An "unobstructed wall" is NOT the same thing as an "unobstructed water pipe".

My two large front burners on my electric stove/range were not functioning. I spoke with a very nice customer representative and received a work order number. A technician from Staats appliance repair was quickly dispatched to handle our claim. Choice Warranty was efficient in expediting the repair of our range and best of all I was not charged anything other than the $45.00 charge. I have recently filed another claim since my roof is in need of repair and I have the extra coverage for this. It is still in processing but I believe they will handle this as efficiently as they did the repair of the range. My coverage ends next month and if they continue to handle things this well, I will continue to be a customer of Choice Warranty.

I called the other day and filed a claim on 2 ceiling fans. When my claim was dispatched a service called and asked me what the problem was. I told him and he told me Choice Home Warranty would replace them with ceiling fans that were maximum $70. I told him thanks for his time and not to worry about coming out. I called CHW to cancel the claim and the rep told me the fans were covered up to $200 and if less the equal value of the fans. I asked to give me a company that wouldn't be negative how the first company was. She said OK. They sent a guy out a week later and he said the fans needed to be replaced and he would call CHW to continue the next step. CHW called me within a few minutes and I spoke with Steven. He said the fans would be replaced with fans not to exceed $70. I told him what the CHW rep told me my coverage was a week ago and he said I need to read my policy.
I told him I should be able to trust the CHW rep. If I don't have my policy in my hand and now I'm out my deductible. He was very rude and couldn't get off the phone fast enough. I asked him to transfer me to cancellation. In total so far at this point I had been on hold and speaking to CHW with no help for 2 hours and on hold with cancellation another 58 minutes. Oscar in cancellation answered and started off. When I asked his name he yelled it repeatedly as though I was annoying him. The entire conversation he was rude and when I told him I wanted to cancel my service he told me I was rude. These reps are the most unprofessional I've ever dealt with and have no idea what customer service is.
I had to hang up the conversation with Oscar because I felt like he just wanted to ruin my day. I call back and speak with Harry **. He speaks to me as though we are in the mafia, raising his voice asking why I wanted to cancel my service and after telling him all the bad customer service I had that day, he called me a liar and said he sees all the people I spoke to and he knows them personally and they are all sweethearts. I said "Please just cancel my account." He offers me a free month. I said I don't want to do business with a company that deals with me this way. I ask him more than 5 times to please cancel my account. He says all the sudden, "OK it's canceled and you will receive an email" regarding my cancellation. I have yet to receive it.

Had a problem with the pump on my septic system. CHW sent some jerk out to look at it and he claimed to have fixed it, which he did not do. I contacted CHW and told them. I was told by CHW that he was suppose to replace it, not repair it. In either case the pump still did not work, although he claimed he fixed it. I then asked CHW for authorization to purchase a replacement pump my and to be reimbursed for it. CHW gave me the authorization and sent me a Claims Reimbursement Form.
They told me to fill out the form and send it and the invoice for the pump to them. I did what they asked. About 40 days later I called to check the status of my reimbursement and was told they would not reimburse me because I did not have authorization. How could I not have authorization when you people sent me the Reimbursement Form? When I threatened to cancel my contract with them they agreed to send me a check of $150.00, not even half of what the pump cost me. I guess it might be time to look for another company.

I invested in this company for my home warranty needs without doing a background check of the company. It is unconscionable what I have experienced in securing the services I have paid the company as part of my home warranty. I am nearly 70 years old and do keep my home in excellent repair. My air-conditioner unit stopped cooling, requiring me to contact Choice Home Warranty for service. A technician visited my home and after investigating the cause of my problems indicated that the compressor was not working. Pursuant to this, he indicated that the repair should be covered.
I waited for two days before calling Claims to determine when the unit be repaired only to be told that the repair was not covered! A rude supervisor indicated that the technician discovered that the unit had not been properly maintained. THIS IS A BLATANT LIE! In conducting research on the company, I discovered that the aforementioned is typical of what is done to customers. There are 100s of complaints against the company online which I am forwarding to Attorney General Offices in Georgia and in New Jersey to reinforce my personal complaint against Choice Warranty. I also sent previous maintenance verification about said unit, per claim. In talking with supervisor about the many claims against Choice Warranty, she told me rather rudely, that Disney World gets 9000 per year - so what!!!

Please stay away from this company. I signed up 3 years of service reading all the positive reviews. I raised 4 claims in last 18 months. First one is with A/C. The assigned technician told me that he is not available for 4 days. All the A/C techs I called said they will not accept Choice Home Warranty. I ended up getting a technician on my own dime. I had 2 other plumbing issues that they denied as well. The technician they assigned never even answered the phone. I paid another plumber to check the issue and CHW then said they will not cover the repairs. One is with water heater. One issue they did cover with lot of haggling is for garage door.
When I called in to cancel, they took all the money I paid for 3 years saying the monthly rate is different if I cancel. There is $50 cancellation fee and they deduct all the money they paid until then. Even though I had 2 years of service left, I ended up cancelling. I got a refund of $90 out of all the money I paid for 3 years. Be very cautious with this company. I wish I can give negative points.

I put in my first claim as a customer. My AC unit had recently stopped working and a tech was sent out quickly, which start off well. The tech came in and decided the unit would need to be replaced and told me that he would recommend it being replaced, just would need some approval from Choice Home Warranty, but said it might take a while because they take a long time to respond to his requests. He said at worst they would send out another tech for a second opinion before replacing it.
About an hour later I get a call from Choice Home Warranty that is an automated call saying to call them back, no live rep or anything. Also got an e-mail saying the same thing. So I called them back and sat on the phone for almost 30 minutes only to be told not only that they wouldn't be sending out a tech for a 2nd opinion, but they wouldn't be covering it, that the unit was in too poor of shape. Nothing close to what the technician that was out said. Also no comments on sorry about your wait or anything, just basically you're out of luck and nothing else. I highly recommend going with another company, don't use Choice Home Warranty, one claim and all I've done is waste my money and get poor to no service.

Choice claimed that I was responsible for service/maintenance that was not performed prior to my owning the property. Section F-12 of their policy clearly states: "We will not pay for repairs or failures that result from the Contract holders failure to perform normal or routine maintenance." As the contract holder, I did not fail to maintain the unit. Somehow, I'm also responsible for everything that happened prior to purchasing the home! This is a SCAM!!! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!

13 months ago I took out a policy with Choice Home Warranty to cover everything in my home in case of breakdown. Never used it till July 1st after we had an issue with the air conditioner not shutting off. Compressor would click on and off but fan never shut off. Could not shut off at thermostat either. The only way to shut down was to turn off at breaker. So I chose to call CHW and file a claim. That was the easy part. Once claim was filed forget about getting them back on the phone without waiting over 2 hours on hold then being disconnected because they were closed. Then the contractor that finally came out never checked the outside unit which was only 1yr old, just took some pictures and said wires were melted together.
Contractor stated from the start that CHW never replaces anything just band-aids to fix. So he knew that they were not going to pay for anything. When contractor arrived we at least had air. When he left the compressor no longer came on so no air. Took that contractor almost a week to get his report in. (Yes it was a holiday weekend, I understand that) Instead of company calling me they sent me another email to call them asap, which I did only to sit on hold for 221 minutes then disconnected because they were closed. Then at midnight I get another email from them stating since I didn't call them in a timely manner they had closed my case. Called them the next morning and was informed due to dust on my unit they would not cover anything.
By this time it had been almost a week with no air. I requested everything from CHW, but they refused stating it was internal. I tried to contact the contractor to get his bid and information to turn into my homeowners insurance. Never could get him to return any of my calls or text. Finally on evening of July 9th he emailed me an outrageous bid. My insurance company thought the same so I had to get someone else out to check. The original company that installed my outside unit gave me a bid to repair damage to inside unit for less than $700 or worse case if everything inside needed to be replaced at $1800. CHW did offer me $200 to HELP with the repairs. That is not acceptable!! I would not recommend this warranty company to anyone!

We've had our house for three years and we've had the HVAC maintained with a local service contract and additional visits. During the recent service visit, the technician observed the coolant was low and air wasn't blowing cold enough as a result. He diagnosed the problem as a leak in the coil. Whew, thank goodness I have CHOICE Home Warranty for peace of mind and major appliance failure like this. I filed a claim with CHOICE Home Warranty and they sent out a technician.
The CHOICE Home Warranty technician confirmed the leak and went on his way with $95 after 15 minutes. I had to pay an additional $50 to detect the coolant leak as that isn't covered by CHOICE Home Warranty policy. Before he left I asked his opinion regarding CHOICE Home Warranty company and if he thought they would honor the claim. He said he thought they should pay it, the unit was clean and not repairable. I called Choice Home Warranty Monday morning to discuss next steps and the representative informed the claim was denied due to rust and corrosion. I asked to speak with a supervisor and was connected with Regina. Regina listened to my account and reiterated that the contractual obligation by CHOICE Home Warranty was void due to corrosion and rust. I asked if she had photographic evidence of this condition and she put me on hold and came back to say she did.
I was with the technician the whole time and there were no photos taken. I asked that they send out a technician to see that the unit was clean and Regina said they wouldn't do it. She went on to say that the technician in the call into the CHOICE Home Warranty stated there was rust and corrosion. Is there evidence of this anywhere? I have a CHOICE Home Warranty technician visit receipt that says my unit is clean and it has failed due to normal use and can't be repaired. How is it that the call-in differs? Someone isn't telling the truth. Regina assured me she would send a link to challenge the decision and we are still waiting. To add insult to injury I had to listen to the CHOICE Home Warranty rolling ad while on hold for 32 minutes assuring me that CHOICE Home Warranty was there to provide peace of mind for normal wear and tear of home appliances such as the AC.

The service charge that I paid I had my credit card company process a dispute for the 45.00 in June of 2016 because I never heard anything from Cris The technician and only call backs from Choice. During the course of our conversation I was told I should have returned their call backs or e-mails irregardless of them not leaving me any detailed messages or not.
At which point I informed them the reason I didn't return any of their non detailed messages recorded call back calls was because they weren't leaving me any information. And I didn't want to be on the phone for (4) 1 HOUR AND 10 MINUTES LIKE I WAS TODAY! When I ask her for the 2nd time were they going to refund any part or all of my money. She offered to 2 FREE months of service (approx 118.00) And the contract I was under was on a MONTH to Month (not a year) and I could cancel at any time. I found this to be very misleading.
When I told her I was not interested in the 2 free months of service and wished to opt out... she finally informed me that she would not refunding any or part of the 418.00 (30 minutes). She told me to call back the 20th of this month to make sure they don't take any more money out of my account. I told her no thanks, because I don't have any more time to waste on the phone. If there is any more Issues I'll be taking it up with my credit card people (Choice) and have a Blessed day. I never talked to them may to June, I never heard from the technician. They say they sent a technician out the next day and I know this is a lie (May 6) because I checked with the neighbors and one of them would have told me.
I don't feel they should have charged me a service charge because they didn't come out when they said they would. They lied and misrepresented themselves so many times I lost count. I felt discriminate against initially because the house is in a poor black area of Cleveland. The house next door is a eye sore and abandoned. I don't know if this is the case or not, but if this is the case and their contractors don't want to service the area all they need to do is say so.

They have no control of the tech and they just keep assigning new ones and you will lose money asking for time off from work to be at home when a tech is coming to check the appliance that will never be repair. Next time, either I would do a research about different home warranties companies or just save the money to have a credible company do the repair on your own. I lost $90 on calling fees plus $400 from CHW policy. Live and learn.

This whole experience was a total waste of money! I never even used their product. I took out a policy with Choice Home Warranty in May 2016. I had to have the warranty for 1 month before I could use it. After paying for it for a month, I called in to see if I could get my microwave repaired. They told me I would have to wait another 2 weeks. I did and called back to put in a claim; I was told someone would contact me in 5-7 days. No one called or emailed me for 3 weeks. I called and request my service be terminated, they promised they would have someone out within 24 hrs. No one called or contacted me. I called back and was told they would have someone contact me that day... 5 days later a tech called me, Danny's Appliances, and said he would be out in a week, my microwave would "probably need to be replaced" because it's more expensive to repair than purchase another one.
In the meantime my oven & dishwasher all Frigidaire stopped working. I dare not ask to have them fixed. My husband contacted a local dealer Dave's Appliances, Greenville, Tx who fix my microwave, oven, and ordered the part for my dishwasher all in less than an hour, and it cost me less than my 3 months premium with Choice Home Warranty. They refused to give me back any of my money even though my payment for July hadn't cleared my bank yet. Thank God for Chase who always takes care of their clients! Don't waste your money, call your local guy, they need the work anyway. Keep it in the neighborhood.

When I bought policy, told Choice Home my unit was over 20 yrs old. It would be covered as long as proper maintenance was done. Had leak in coil, because of rust claim denied. I have records going back to 2009 that I've had units serviced. Asked what I could have done. Was told that RUST was unavoidable- but RUST was not covered. RUST did not cause leak - leak & old age caused rust. So in other words you do NOT cover older units since you just stated that RUST was unavoidable. Repair is going to cost $1,300 - they offered $300. I would have been much better off NEVER buying CHOICE HOME WARRANTY in the 1st place.

Then instead of fixing what was broken, they will offer a buyout for $230. What was broken will take over $1,000 to fix. They don't care about customer service.

I purchased a 5 year home warranty from Choice Home Warranty (CHW) last November. One of my units failed a week ago. They sent out the service provider (SP) who said the fan motor and compressor need replacing. After I contacted SP, I was told CHW would only cover the $200 for the fan motor and because the fan motor failing caused the compressor to fail, they wouldn't replace the $800 compressor. I have not been contacted by CHW. Their hold times are over 4 hours. The sales staff pick up the phone on the first ring. The new claims reps will answer, but don't have access to any info. I have been without AC for a week in 95F temp and without any help from CHW.
The only mention in the warranty regarding the compressor is that there may be an additional disposal fee from the SP. No mention of cause and effect other than misuse or poor maintenance by the owner. The broken unit is 10 years old and has been serviced regularly. It is very likely the compressor was nearing the end of its useful life and only required minimal stress to finally fail. I purchased the CHW warranty for the AC unit that failed because I knew the unit was old and could fail.
I told CHW when I called to report the claim, that I immediately turned the system off when it stopped cooling, which happened overnight. I also confirmed with them that the system was not freezing up in the inside (indication of low refrigerant) and that I had replaced my filter last April. I have had a lot of experience with AC units and know how to maintain them as well as minimize further damage when they malfunction. I believe CHW is not living up to the contract as it is written and is therefore in breach of contract. If I could actually contact a live person, I will request they refund my warranty, which is supposedly pro-rated.

I purchased a home in September and they were the home warranty provider provided with my purchase transaction with their premium warranty service. My home inspection turned up a few different minor items that we had fixed pre-closing so I know my home was in good condition. In the 9 month of being in home, we have had to make 3 claims with 2 of those regarding my central heat/ac system. The warranty company provided me with no initial documentation on account set up, so reading through coverages online you get a sense of broad coverage yet on all 3 claims I encountered denials of coverage that inspections are not covered, water leaks from condensate pumps are not covered, and A/C coils from wear and tear are covered but not from corrosion.
It is my most recent claim experience in June 2016 that has so motivated me to write a review. My A/C handler in the garage began showing some water puddling, so I called to create claim for a tech to come out. It took them 9 days to get the technician to my house. Within these 9 days were several daily calls asking for updates as their tech wouldn't answer my calls and I requested a new tech assigned to me that they refused to do. As well over the course of the 9 days, my A/C failed completely... thank god for having 2 units on my house to live on a different level. When the tech did show, he seemed puzzled at what to do and went to pressure check my outdoor unit. He stated I was approximately 4 lbs short on freon on a 5 lbs capacity unit and he had to call in for approval to help.
Choice HW quickly denied the repair stating a leak test had to be done, so the tech packed up and stated he needed his service fee to leave and I should call my home warranty company back. I called Choice and they stated the test needed to be done but they didn't cover leak testing and after they got the report and picture back that they would let me know about their level of coverage then. Their tech stated he could be back out in another week and a half. I called Choice back to ask for another tech that they stated they couldn't assign another but I could use anyone and they would know what to do.
My first 2 calls to large well-established HVAC companies in the Greensboro/Winston-Salem area refused to do work with Choice HW and apologized for the situation. A third HVAC company I called on a neighborhood recommendation only offered to help because of the referral and also stated that he no longer does work for Choice due to no payment to contractors and they have lost significant money as a result, but he would work with me personally and provide the necessary documentation I required for Choice. He completed my inspection and found that my 17-year-old evaporator coil needed replacement from standard wear and tear and my contactor on the outside unit was burnt up from the other tech working on it but didn't replace it at the time. Choice HW reviewed the report and denied my claim because the coil had signs of corrosion on the copper piping. So I got left with a $1,700 repair.
Choice HW did later come back to state that they would cover the cost of the contactor on the outside unit but I have yet to see the funds for that and I received several harassing calls that I needed to provide them further proof outside of my HVAC receipt showing the summary of repairs because it didn't itemize the labor and material cost for that repair alone. I got escalated through several tiers of management and can only imagine that the payment for the $110 of my $1,700 is possibly still held up for this even though they claim it is not. The funny part is now they want me to renew my warranty for another year... smh, really??? This has been an eye-opening experience and I will use Old Republic, HSA or Cross County Home Services for my next home warranty. Choice Home Warranty and American Home Shield are both large and similarly poor companies.

My HVAC has not been working and I live in Arizona desert. I have a family with a small baby and was left with no help even when temperature reached 120 degrees. Choice Home Warranty is a FRAUD. DON'T Buy Home coverage from them. When it comes to important items like HVAC/water heater they will leave you in the dark with no help. Just try calling Choice Home Warranty and ask for a quote for home warranty. Below things will happen:
You will be able to reach someone within a minute or two. A Follow up will happen over email and phone till you buy. As a matter of fact, I am still getting marketing emails from them to buy warranty even after already buying from them. But when you try calling them to raise a claim that is when their whole cheating tactics begins. An initial claim can be raised easily through online or through phone. But when there is a real problem like HVAC or water heater not working they will back away from helping you. You would have to wait for at least 40 minutes at a time to talk to a customer service representative. Don't believe me? Call them @ 800 233 0172 to reach them directly or @888-531-5403 and choose the option for customer representative.
I tried to reach them 10 times in the last 5 days and every time I was put on hold for at least 40 minutes before I could talk to a person. They don't work outside of 09:00 AM to 05:00 PM EST. Think about it, you have to spend 4 hours just to call them and get updates during your work time as well because they don't work outside of that time. They might tell you that they will call you back but that would never happen.
MY story: My time to do yearly AC maintenance came up in May/June 2016. I requested help to do yearly maintenance as per manufacturer suggestion through Choice Home Warranty. They told me that Choice Home Warranty neither provides suggestions on how to do AC Maintenance nor provides service through preferred vendor to do that. They asked me to go through some other licensed vendor to do the yearly maintenance.
I found a licensed HVAC maintenance company through HomeAdvisor.com and booked an appointment. I did my complete AC maintenance on 6.8.2016. The only issue raised by the AC maintenance expert (got through Home Advisor) was to replace the capacitor of the condenser unit. Which I did by paying that maintenance guy itself. Everything else was good. He did Drain line clean, coil clean, outdoor coil clean, Freon level check to meet manufacturer specs, Freon quality check as per manufacturer spec, Amp and temp reading on all electrical components as per manufacturer spec. After changing the capacitor he mentioned that everything was perfect.
Unfortunately, the unit died after 3 weeks. I called Choice and requested for help. They sent a service person to check on the AC. The service person who checked it was not providing any info. HE was only asking me to pay the service fee and left. I requested for more info and he mentioned that he is going to recommend to change the AC Unit. If Choice does not cover he can give a quote to fix the existing unit. See the type of contractor's Choice has relationship with. Trying to drain as much money as possible.
Based on his suggestion Choice should have replaced the HVAC unit. Instead, they did not even respond back to my claim for 3 days. I called them and was put on hold for 45 minutes after which a person picks up my call and says "You are not covered because you did not do AC maintenance". I clearly explained him about my yearly maintenance records and sent him a letter explaining that with the receipt.
Even after that they came back saying the receipt is not good enough. This is the catchy point. Think about it. Choice Home Warranty does not provide any suggestion on what all should be done for maintenance, They won't provide help through their servicing to do the maintenance, there is no template for the maintenance person who we choose to be filled up so that we can comply with Choice Home warranties' requirements. What ever info we give during problem scenario's they will just tell you that the AC was not maintained properly. I tried to talk to their manager multiple times. No one was ready to talk to me. I told them over the call itself that they are a CHEAT and FRAUD.
I am going to print a pamphlet about their cheating and going to distribute to all my neighbors so that they don't end up like me in crisis situations. BEWARE, look for some other company that covers AC Maintenance. Choice home warranty is a CHEAT, FRAUD and USELESS Home warranty company I have seen so far.

I have bought this home protection plan for two years of coverage for $750. About two weeks ago, my air condition went down. I called the company, and they referred to their technician, but the technician was not answering his phones. I called back, they said I can find my own technician. I spent $100 to find out what the problem is, and called them back, and they wanted a detailed report, so I spent another $158 for leak check, providing them with pictures of the leak, and also reason. It is extremely hard to get hold of any real person, sometimes I have to hold the line for an hour to talk to someone. It has been two weeks that I have to live in the heat, and finally my document is complete.
Today they told me because it is a leak caused by corrosion, they don't cover this type of breakdown. I wanted to cancel my plan, and they won't prorate my premium, but only refund me $159. Overall, I spent $750 (less $159 maybe), plus $258, and hours of phone waiting time, two weeks living in the heat for nothing. It is not worth it. I won't trust Insurance company very much from now on. It is better to save money on my own. A guy from a heating and cooling company told me that he has been dealing with them for 19 years, and it has always been like this--when you need them, you have to fight really hard, and they won't pay usually over $1000.

The control panel on the frig fell causing the light bulbs to remain on, heating the interior of the frig and melting parts of the panel requiring the light socket and control panel to be replaced.

Updated on 01/01/2019: I would not use Choice Home Warranty again. When I did have a claim of a heat pump quitting, they found every excuse to deny my claim. Upon receiving a call last night again denying my claim in spite of providing maintenance records, I was told that “proper service according to manufacturer’s warranties) were not followed. In particular amperage to the compressor was never measured. So I went to the Carrier website to see what their recommendations were for maintenance.
Below is what I found: During an air conditioner or a heat pump service call, your Carrier expert will typically: Check your system's operation to determine its condition and if repairs or adjustments are needed. Check refrigerant charge levels and air flow. Make sure all electrical connections are sound and components are working properly. Check for secure physical connections of individual parts. Check and clean the indoor and outdoor coils. Check and clean the condensate drainage system. Clean and adjust blower components. Check the filters, and replace or clean them, if needed. As you see, there is NO mention of measuring amperage at each visit. The above procedures had been carried out at each service visit twice a year. Thus there is NO basis for denying the claim.
Original Review: I have been paying monthly payments to Choice Home Warranty for years. Last week my heat pump finally gave out (installed in 1998) which they ultimately will do over time. I called CHW and they sent out an HVAC technician who measured the resistance of the wiring coils of the compressor and basically told me they had worn out (total short to ground) and tripped the circuit breaker.
I submitted a claim to CHW to replace the heat pump and after almost 2 weeks of going back and forth with them (and getting different excuses as to why they won't pay), I ended up cancelling my policy and have to pay to replace the heat pump. So much for having insurance. And yes, I did have semi-annual maintenance performed according to manufacturer's recommendations but CHW still utilized unsubstantiated reasons for denial. DON'T EVER USE THIS COMPANY!!! Put your monthly payment in a bank account and save for a day one of your appliances stops working.

We have been with CHW since 2013. We have not had very many claims, however we have been very happy with each claim. CHW Customer service is awesome. All of their CSRs are friendly, patient, smart. And get's the job done. My last claim was 2016 and I had the privilege of dealing with a supervisor. She was very helpful and fixed the problem immediately. We have never had a problem with any of their vendors. They have been nice respectable and just. Fixes the problem... We highly recommend CHW to everyone. For us, it is a peace of mind that we can get things fixed for less than our homeowners insurance for a lot less for the same results. Thank you CHW for making life a little less stressful in a very stressful world.

We called Choice Sunday night. Monday morning we received a call from the serviceman! He arrived at 11am and by 12:30 the opener was back to functioning normally. Thanks Choice Home Warranty!

I decided to select a home warranty just moving into a new home. Choice was obviously not a good company I selected. Calling them may take several minutes (30 minutes or more or they just drop your call and you have to start all over again). They sometimes send out someone who is not qualified for the repair or send out a service person with no ID that tells you who is in your home! My last call to Choice was to repair my refrigerator (bad fan). It took 17 days (5 minutes labor) to finally make the repair. Six months ago I had a washer go bad and the service person declared it couldn't be repaired. Choice in their book said we repair or replace the appliance... well they should actually state that they will give you 1/3 of the replacement cost. Unfortunately I have 4 more months to this contract... I hope nothing breaks in those 4 months so I can research a new warranty company.

My dishwasher stopped cleaning the dishes on Sunday. I called Choice. They got with a repairman who called me that day and made an appointment on Friday, found the problem, ordered the parts and will be out this week to repair it. Thank you Choice for being so quick with a resolution.

I have been trying since May 17th 2016 to get my ac unit repaired and I have been given the run around with this company, not only does it take me nearly 50 minutes to speak with someone the only time I get answers is when I am at the point of yelling and asking to speak to a supervisor, then I get pacified as if I am not aware that they are not really trying to help, they have not even contacted the contractor to inform him that they will not honor the claim, he has sent in pictures and I have seen the pictures and I was told the coil was dirty and it is clearly not dirty, they had no intention of filing this claim. I have never had such bad customer service in my life and I know about customer service, I have done it before and I feel as if they have no empathy for their clients - they just take the money and are neglectful in working with customers.
I have a child with skin allergies and when she gets too hot she gets whelps and this was told to the company about her skin allergies and not a care or concern. When I asked for a second technician due to the first one not showing up or coming late in the evening, I was talked down to and made to feel as though it was my fault that he was not coming out. I was to a degree called a liar for not allowing him to come back to my home, and it took half a morning and a bad attitude to get a new technician, all I want is to have my unit repaired. I am not asking for a lot just what my contract states that I should have received as a service. This has been going on since 5/17/16. It is now 6/27/16 and I still have no air and yes I have sent in a termination email because I am not satisfied with the company and as of tonight at 8:58 I am still an active client with no chance of getting any quality service.

I called to see about filing a claim, then was told that the ice maker was not included in our policy. However the contract they sent us doesn't exclude it. When I told the lady that she told me that I had to prove it to her. When I asked how much of refund to cancel my policy, she said none...apparently she can't do math. If my policy is $50/month and I have had it for 45 months, which is $2250.45 total... I paid for 5 years upfront for a total of $2375.00. That leaves me $124.55 of a refund. I know it's not much, but it will cover the cost of the repair I have to make now that they tell us the ice maker isn't covered. Do not use this company, they will try to scam you and say that there is a limit on items, but it doesn't say that in the policy I have. Horrible customer service as well as customer retention. We will never use them or recommend them!

I'm extremely happy with the service provided by Peter Electric. Very prompt and professional. Peter took no time in finding and fixing the problem correctly the first time! Thank you Choice Home Warranty for finding the right person for the right job and so quickly. Called in Friday night and the work was performed to my satisfaction by Saturday afternoon. Could not find any other electrician to come out over the weekend. Will keep Choice for life most probably!

We had a wonderful experience with CHOICE warranty. They offer great customer service when calling to schedule and they schedule fast. The technician that was sent out was on time and did an excellent job. He was professional and the job was done and he explained what he did.

I have an apartment in Las Vegas. The air conditioning is not working and I requested for service. After the technician came and collected the service call fee, he called Choice Home Warranty and told me to contact Choice Home to discuss the coverage. After waiting for 2 hours, the representative told me they don't cover the valve in the A/C unit. Then hang up. I called again and waiting to speak to the supervisor. It took another 1 hour and 47 minutes to talk to the supervisor. She said they don't cover the valve in the A/C unit. They refuse to cover the cost of the fixing the A/C. The reason they don't cover is homeowner don't buy the valve coverage in the A/C system. Does it make sense that homeowner need to know all the valves and wire in the A/C to buy the coverage on each part?

I left my previous company for poor service. I search for a month and found CHW was rated one of the best. I changed my home warranty to them in November, since then it's been a nightmare. I called for a dishwasher in late November only to find out I had a wait period of 30 days I was not advised of. I was told to call back. I did in December and then they sent a tech out. It was a panel, they said it was impossible. It went out in the time my warranty was effective (December), it went out in late November. They sent me 100 for the miscommunication to replace my dishwasher which I couldn't even buy a used one for 100.00, so 300+ I had to pay for a dishwasher, delivery and install. Then my water heater stopped working, they sent out a tech, it was a heating element he replaced. 3 weeks later it stopped again. He returned, tapped on it and they called me, said he heard sediment so it wasn't covered.
I then paid and replaced myself, 400+ when being drained, it was confirmed no sediment was in it. They laughed when I told them about the tap test. Few months later windstorm in PHX. I purposely bought roof coverage due to monsoons in Phoenix. 48 shingles blew off my roof, no real damage, just blew off. They stated it was caused by a storm and that wasn't covered. So only roof issues caused by great weather are covered by them. 500 I had to pay for that. Recently my ac stopped working, called them explained I had an infant and two pets in the house 115 degrees in PHX. They send out an ac guy, he finds it's a burnt breaker. His boss calls in to get the repair done (just replace the breaker), they hang up on him. My husband calls them explain we have a small child who is sick and breathing machines. They say we need an electrician. Send out plumbing and drain (24 hours later).
I had since replace the breaker. They thought they were coming for a pool. But checked the breaker I put in, said it looked great and left. Saturday night ac went back out, called their supposed 24/7 service, got a recording to send an email for emergencies which I did. I have to receive a call or response, never. Glad I didn't have broken water lines or something. Had to call a 24-hour ac repair at 200.00, it was the breaker that was confirmed to be great and in good shape by the plumbing company they sent to fix my electrical.
So far this company has cost me over 3000.00 in repairs I have had to pay myself due to some excuse they always find not to repair an item, my monthly fee to have them, and the service charged to send out techs. I have contacted the BBB and will be cancelling my service with them immediately. I have sent numerous emails complaining about these issues and messages for manager to call me with their call center. Not one response. Worst service ever. Go with any company but them, they are a joke.

118 degrees plus! I called Choice Home Warranty & placed a claim. During the process I turned on my 2nd unit... which simultaneously went out! I was physically sick. I contacted Choice and they issued a 2nd work order to the assigned service contractors (Guillen Heating & Refrigeration) without hesitation. Guillen repaired both and life is good again. I cannot thank Choice enough for their understanding and professionalism regarding my problems.
