    My washing machine stopped working last week. I called Choice Home Warranty. The following day the contractor called and set up an appointment to come out check the washer. The contractor, the technician who came to my house is super professional, friendly, and assuring and you can tell he loves his job. Bowser from Lighting Bolt Appliance. I hope, if I ever need a technician, CHW will contract the same company and dispatch Bowser... Choice Home Warranty was quick.

    The technician came in on 6/23/16 and yesterday 6/24/16 CHW automated system called me (the only negative thing I will say is trying to call back to talk to claims took me more than 40 mins so I had to use my speaker phone and kept working). The lady was very professional, (am sorry I do not have her name, I wrote her name down and forgot it at work), a Great customer service rep. CHW will send me a cheque for $450 to cover part of the replacement cost for my washing machine. I know it will not be enough to get me my beautiful Frigidaire front load washer. I will have to dig back in my pocket to cover the balance. Overall, I am happy with Choice Home Warranty.

    CHW sent a AC company out to my house to check the problems, and the technician said that my AC has a lot of problems going on. But he only "said" the situation and he did not help me to solve any problems. He just left and let me to talk to the CHW. I contacted CHW again and the agent let me find other AC companies on my own to repair my AC. Also, CHW does not cover any of my fees on this situation because they said that my situation on AC is pre-existing but we do not know that if it is whether pre-existing or not. After that I found an AC company on my own and all their technician did is added 2 pounds freon and my house cooled down 2 degrees in less than 5 fives. It has been 3 weeks since the company (that I found on myself) came to my house and my house AC has been operating great since that company came.

    I just contacted CHW today again because I paid an extra 200 dollars on my own and I tried to see what to do with this extra 200 dollars. But this agent of CHW who answered my call were asking me if I want this 100 dollars check or not ALL the way throughout the call, and he said that my claim has been closed but I did not get any help nor got my question answered at all. At last he hung up the call on himself and I feel it is disrespectful. I bought insurance of CHW but I still have to pay the repairing fee on my OWN. I am very confused on this throughout the whole situation.

    This is my second claim. My first claim, their contractor came to my home in a car with his girlfriend to fix my washer. Told me he couldn't get the part about week later after calling and calling her said the warranty dept. was looking for the part. After another 3 days they found the part and then the contractor told me it would be another 3 days before he could come back out to fix it.

    Now I have another claim with my air conditioning system and the first contractor said he would not be able to take the job. I explained that I had a medical condition and needed the air fixed ASAP. So the next contractor tells me 2 days before they could come. Then they have to order parts and it will be several more days. And you sit on hold with the warranty dept for over an hour to speak to a representative.

    The reason you buy a home warranty is to be covered when big expense happens. I guarantee this company will not cover big expense. They cover just some small part replacement etc. When it comes to replace a unit, they pull out all the tricks in the bag. My A/C unit went away. The technician they figured out to send after 4 days because the guys they initially assigned will not show up and I had to waste a lot of time and suffer the heat. The second technician they assigned was a good guy, analyzed the problem and said the unit has reached its end of life and will have to be replaced which information he sent to them right in front of me.

    Then these guys call and leave a voicemail to callback BTW to talk to their claims department. You have to been on hold for at least 2 hours. Finally they say I need to do a leak check and I have to pay for it then I call the technician. He says leak check is not required. He will talk to them. Next day I again call. This time they say that the unit is not maintained which I showed that I do regular maintenance to the technician. At which point after 6 days I am done with this company and cancelled the account. Don't trust this company.

    First part of May I made a claim on my 3 year old high end dishwasher. Person came out right away and said he would order part and be back in 3-5 days. Someone from Choice called said would cost too much to fix dishwasher and they would be sending me a check for $260. I said I could not replace for that amount, but that is what they were sending. Would take 30 days to process check and 7-10 days for it to arrive.

    Called them on June 24 and they said check was mailed June 7. Must have got slowed in bulk mail. It has been 48 days since claim and they told me I would have to pay $30 to stop payment or wait another 90 days for check to expire before they could issue another one. It is dishonest. A scam they do not intend to pay. They should have paid for new dishwasher as contract stated but at least send what they agreed to. BEWARE. They are fraud.

    I have several rental properties that I switched to Choice Home Warranty. When Choice calls or emails me about a claim, it is just to give me their number and say to call them, so there is no attempt to actually contact me, but to make me wait on hold, and I suspect, to have most customers unable to hold for almost an hour in the middle of the work day. I was on hold for 17 minutes, then transferred to "customer service" and placed on hold for over 30 minutes in relation to an open claim. When the message was for me to call about the claim, why is the number given not direct to the claim representatives? When I asked the representative if they could call me back today, after giving me time to communicate with the contractor, they said no, they were set up to only receive calls, not call out! I think this is meant to have me give up so they can log that the claim was closed due to customer not communicating.

    They also told me their contractor sent out could not determine the make and model of my built in oven, which seems to call into question the credentials and experience of the contractor. Then they offered a low dollar amount "towards replacement" which was less than half the cost to buy a new unit, much less install it. My contract says that a covered appliance that cannot be repaired will be replaced. I have provide them the name and model number and serial number. I have not heard back, I am on hold (estimated at 37 minutes, but it has been 54 minutes) as I type. Finally talking to them, now they are offering $305.00 towards replacement of a built in double oven!! This makes my policy with them effectively worthless since it is less than I paid for year of coverage on this property, which has had no prior claim.

    I placed a claim concerning my garage door opener not working. Frank Bauer with Garage Door Carolinas came to my home without an appointment and early morning before I woke, ringing my door bell. To try and condense the events that transpired, he un-jammed the door but now the belts were hanging. He was nervous and told me he could not diagnose problem. Bottom line, was he told the home warranty company something I did prevented my garage door from being fixed. Choice honored my request after a letter and many phone calls. I had nothing to do with the extreme damage that Frank Bauer caused.The door and garage was only 16 months old.

    Choice restored my faith in my home warranty by reopening the claim and bringing out a 2nd contractor. This company was Garage Door and More. They set an appointment. They were knowledgeable, professional and walked me through what was going on. The previous company left without warning, just the way they arrived. Thank you Choice for believing in your customers!!!

    This is by far the worst warranty company I have ever used! Their customer service is horrible, normal waiting time on hold has never been less than 30 minutes. They refuse to fix things that are in contract and use the excuse as non-maintenance to keep from paying out. They demand proof of maintenance and once proof is given they come up with a different reason for not paying out. They refuse to refund money for plan and won't allow you out of the contract and won't pay for service calls. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!

    When I purchased a Choice Home Warranty it sounded like the greatest thing. I have had to use the warranty 3 times since the date of purchase and the customer service is horrible at best. This last time I attempted to use the warranty it was for an inoperable ac unit (bad compressor). A company was sent out and diagnosed the problem. A capacitor was replaced and the compressor was diagnosed as bad. It took at least 8 phone calls on my part over the course of six days to get a status update from Choice Home Warranty on the claim while I was sitting in 90 degree heat with no air. Choice does a horrible job at updating and or calling customers back when a claim is filed. I recommend using a warranty company that is more responsive and has better customer support.

    I have a furnace with a cracked heat exchanger. The CHW contractor was in my home looking at my furnace and physically said it was clear. It was not neglected in any way. He sent CHW photos upon their request and they immediately denied my furnace claim saying the system was neglected and in bad shape. They used words like "severe rust and corrosion" before they even received the photos! They were going to deny this no matter what was said. After several complaints, they offered me $200 to make me go away. I will not accept their $200 - it's an insult when I have to pay $3,000 for a new furnace. I purchased the home warranty to avoid this kind of major expenditure. I have been very diligent about maintaining this unit and have taken good care of it. I am disgusted they say it's neglected.

    I found this company to be very callous with my complaint. My A/C unit went out. It is 22 years old. My home warranty did not cover it as I was told because of
    poor maintenance. The average unit well maintained lasts about 13 yrs and they refuse to replace it after their technicians looked at PHOTOS from the contracted guy sent to the house. 94 degrees with three little ones and no assistance from crooks. The terminology fits them well because taking money from people and you
    have not done what you stated you would do is crooked. I am content with the fact that whatsoever a man soweth that also shall he reap. I'm amazed at the

    unconcern that was displayed by their manager Allen **, very callous.

    As a retired first responder I am glad I pushed myself and was taught to help people in distress and/or under duress no matter what their circumstance or issue was, just help! It was very easy for them to take my warranty money but sad to say when I needed an emergency for my family, no one from Choice Home Warranty show up and would not even give a refund.

    As per my view: The technician is not capable to fix the issue and he know glass is not covered so Choice will close the issue. Choice claim department should use their common sense and can understand there is no role of glass to flame the coil partially. If there is role of glass then it should complete stopped working not only outer circle.

    I tried to protect my home with a Choice Home Warranty, but so far all it has done is made things worse. We noticed our fridge was broken Sunday morning so we contacted Choice home warranty and we were very pleased when someone was able to come out that same night (haha silly us). They came out and played around with our fridge and eventually said we needed a new starter and they would go get that and come back to fix it the next day. Well, they never showed up so we called the contractor that was out here the day before and he doesn't have his voicemail set up and did not answer his phone (fun fact: a google search of his name shows a list of burglary charges so thanks for helping keep my home safe Choice).

    Anyway, so we called choice home warranty again and we were told we had to wait 24 hours for it to be reassigned. It was eventually reassigned for someone to come out this morning (at this point we have been without a fridge for 5 days). This new contractor took one look at our fridge and said it would be a minimum of 4-5 days before they could even attempt to fix the issue because the other contractor messed up all the wiring so bad that they didn't even know how to put it back together. So, I called choice home warranty again and was told they needed to contact the technicians that had been out and they would call me back within a maximum of 2-3 hours. I'm sure you're surprised that no one ever called. I called back, explained my situation again and I was put on hold for a bit and then I was told basically nothing and that I could call them back tomorrow for more information. I'm sure they will resolve the situation tomorrow (sarcasm).

Besides the compressor, the coil is the second biggest and most expensive part to repair or replace. They said to buy the coverage to prevent an expense like this. It cost $1800 to replace the coil.

Then this time it says the ducts are covered for the a/c & they denied that saying it only covers the ducts if they are loose or falls off but not to replace. That's after 4 reps told me 4 different things.

    The rep who I signed up with said they had emergency service that would send a tech out in 4 hrs, & what more of an reason than having water pouring from my water heater out of the garage door when I got home. So everything they said they did or do is the opposite. DO NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING this company says! I can't believe they are allowed to stay in business the way they deceive people.

    How Many Contractors does it take to inspect an AC unit? The running tally is (5). Yup you read it correct; five different exchanges for five of which three have been the same contractor. Last year I bought a Row home in Baltimore, MD and purchased a home warranty to protect the cost of my investment. Settlement was in March, My initial claim was in September 2015. To my surprise, CHW refused to cover the cost to fix my AC because it wasn't inspected, however, my home passed a few very gruesome home inspections by the Department of Veterans Affairs since I am a Veteran.

    This year, I decided to have my properties all inspected just to avoid having to pay any out of pocket expense for repairs. I called CHW, and I am being told that the warranty does not cover maintenance. Well I know that, but since you're so connected with all types of contractors wouldn't it make sense to use your service to send out one of the contractors you vouch for, and then have it documented that unit was maintained just in case, you don't want to pay for repairs in the future.

    CHW told me that I have provide access to the contractors because my unit is located on the roof of my row home, which is the norm in Baltimore, Washington DC area due to space and protection from vandalism for the unit. The issue here is that none of the 3 contractors have the appropriate equipment to do their jobs (i.e. Ladders). You wouldn't hire a plumber, then buy him tools to do a job in your home, they should automatically have the appropriate tools. My next question, how does CHW screen their contractors, because none of the representatives I've spoken to seem to know. Maybe it's just me; but my belief. If I'm contracting a service provider through my organization, I'm going to make sure that they are legitimate, insured and bonded, and have an overall good reputation prior to sending them to any of my client's homes.

    So I get off the line with CHW, and they are telling me that I have to provide access to the roof of my house... I don't own a truck and how am I going to first move a ladder that extends over two stories and then store it in the city, with no garage or storage on site. I'm truly disappointed CHW has continued to take my monthly premium for over one year and when I need them to provide service for my home; they tell me that I do not meet their contractual obligations.

Then, when I thought there was a problem 2 hours later, he returned my telephone call and assured me there wasn't any problem. Second time I have used JB Services and I will request them again for what they specialize in servicing. Problem was solved within 24 hours of calling CHW. Couldn't expect a better experience.

    After a week of being placed on hold and forgotten about multiple times, being lied to about return phone calls that never happened, and a litany of excuses, this company denied a claim for repairs or replacement to my air conditioning condenser unit system which failed after many years of well maintained, normal usage. They did send out a service tech, who examined the problem and reported back to them the unit was properly maintained and should be covered by their warranty. The owner of the service company, Mr ** reported to me he had personally corroborated this report to Choice's staff, after THEY LEFT HIM ON HOLD FOR 40 MINUTES! In spite of this Choice ARBITRARILY denied the claim saying the cause was poor maintenance... Totally untrue. So I am considering legal action and have dropped "poor Choice" Home Warranty. They are a bunch of PHONIES.

    I have had my warranty for over two years and just filed a claim for my upstairs air-conditioning unit. To my disappointment it was rejected. The pan was leaking and they said in paragraph D item 5 it was not covered. However that paragraph was for the heater. Item 4 deals with air conditioning and it is not excluded in that paragraph. After speaking with a representative it seems that few things are covered and a lot is not covered. I did not receive my contract to review until after signing up due to "deadlines" on all of the specials they were offering and I had to request it several times before receiving it. I am disappointed in my decision to go with this company and will not renew. The positive side is that a technician contacted me in a very timely manner and I was very pleased with everything that he did.

    On 05/31/2016 I contacted CHW because my AC was not cooling. They sent AAA HVAC service on 06/02/16. The tech wrote the following on work order (I have a copy). "Freon all leaked out of condenser, copper cap tunes have oil all over them" he was here for approx 30-45 min. He said CHW would call shortly to let me know about repair.

    They never called so I called them at 5:30 PM. After approx hour on hold I spoke with Maurice who said CLAIM IS DENIED DUE TO KING VALVE BEING INSTALLED WRONG... CAUSED LEAK! I called previous owner and she said NO king valve or other work had been done on unit (except outside wire replaced). I told him there was NO mention of king valve by AAA tech in writing or verbal to me. I asked him if CHW would pay $400 toward the total bill of $904. He said "No! They will not budge on this." It was so hot in my house and AAA tech used heat setting to defrost unit AND left it on. I am 70 years old and I could have died.

    Called another AC company. He came out at 8:30PM. Was here for approx 3.5 hrs. found 2 leaks, one outside and one inside (AAA did not find inside leak). Said nothing wrong with king valve. Leak was on other side of unit. He showed me leaks. New company was so professional and competent. Put freon in so I would be cool until he could get part. Has called twice to see if I am OK and cool. Given the circumstances I must conclude that the 'king valve' issue was added so CHW would not have to pay. AAA or CHW has never called me back! Seniors (esp women) are easy targets for abuse and scams... fortunately I am not and will not tolerate being taken advantage of. Thank you.

Hold times are ridiculous in order to get anyone on the phone to explain what exactly on your policy is covered. The customer service agents transfer you without saying who they are transfer you to.

    Please share* warning super long post*. I do not want anyone else to be scammed as I was! Last summer I was solicited by Choice Home Warranty to switch over from my then, current home warranty company. They insisted that they needed no home inspection and it didn't matter how old my appliances were. I told them that all of my appliances were at least 20+ years old on the house that I had just recently purchased. They said over and over that it did not matter. I paid my fees and took out their warranty.

    Two weeks ago I made my first claim, my Air Conditioner was not cooling properly. They sent a tech, tech said the unit was shot and I needed a new one. He said he would contact the company and get back with me. The next day he did... stating that they denied my claim but wouldn't tell him why. After almost an hour on the phone on hold, I spoke with Misha, a claims supervisor. She stated the claim wasn't denied and she, and she alone made the final decision, which she would call me with the next morning. I asked her why the tech would tell me such a thing and she said sometimes techs get "an inkling" that claims will be denied. She told me again that she would call the next day.

    I called back the tech and told them what Misha said, and he said... I have it in writing in an email that the Claim was denied earlier that day. He forwarded me the email. I waited two days for Misha to call back. Finally, on the third day I received an email stating that I needed to call the company. I called and waited almost another hour on hold to get Carmilla, another claims supervisor. She first said that my claim was denied due to upgrades on the unit, when I said it was the original unit and it was between 20-30 years old with no upgrades, she then said it was due to the tech coding the diagnosis as lack of proper maintenance. I asked how she would know that, as she had no maintenance records or even asked for such a thing. She kept repeating that that was the diagnosis.

    I asked for her superior and she refused to tell me a name. When I kept pressing she gave me Misha and I said that I wanted someone else, as they were equals and not her superior. She refused. I told her I wanted a refund of my policy and she then refused to speak to me any further. She said that the cancellation department would call me on Monday. It is now Tuesday with no call.

    I have been in contact with the tech who said that he absolutely did not tell them that the unit failed due to lack of maintenance but old age, which is what even the recording states that Choice Home Warranty covers in the information shared while you wait on hold. The tech is willing to show them in any way that the failure was not due to lack of maintenance, compressor was clean and free of any debris or rust... but the warranty company will not honor his word. Their tech, that they sent out. I have paid them diligently and I only asked for them to repair the unit... not even replace the unit (a cost of 1500 vs. 4-5 thousand). This company is a scam. Do not give them your money! Please share so that others do not go through the stress that I am going through.

Repairman showed up next day on time and diagnosed the issue. I only needed a new plastic cover on the pump filter basket. The one there was cracked and wouldn't maintain a proper seal. That's what caused the filter pump to overheat and stop working. The next day the cap was replaced and the system worked perfectly.

I called in a roof problem and they scheduled someone to come out. They came out and reported that the roof leak was in the valley where there was flashing covered by shingles. Guess what, even though that was part of the roof system (NO COVERAGE) had to pay the roofer myself. Two thousand for the repairs and $12000 for a new roof, it was an older roof so I choose the latter.

    Called in problem on A/C. I know nothing about A/Cs. When I called in they asked what the problem was and I told them all I knew was that it was dripping water thru my living room ceiling. Of course their response was "we don't cover water leaks", that was that and would not send out a technician. I had to pay $130 for an A/C company to check it out. They found a leak in the coil that caused the unit to freeze up and of course in the heat of the day it thawed. Cost me $4300 for new unit. THEY WILL NEVER GET ANOTHER CENT FROM ME.

    I purchase a policy with Choice Home Warranty thinking it was one of the best company. My refrigerator broke down 70 days after the warranty has been purchased. They claim it was a preexisting condition even though I was unaware of it. First of all no one had the courtesy to call me back regarding the claim. It took the same technician who fail to come back and fix the problem as schedule. That same technician called me back, reported the company denies the claim. They assume it was a preexisting issue and offered to fix it. An estimate were provided to me over the phone. When attempted to call Choice warranty from my own phone there was a block from my phone. After 1 ring the phone hang up no matter how many times I've called from my phone. When attempted to call from another phone I was able to get through with no problem, which did confirm that someone block my phone number from calling the company.

    Finally I was able to speak with someone in claim department. She then transferred me to someone else who happened to answer the phone 10 minutes later after constant ringing. She identify herself as the claim supervisor. At first she could not find my claim with my address, but were able to retrieve it with my contract number. The supervisor was so rude, did not even took into consideration the amount of time spending waiting for her to answer the phone, but she was just told me my claim was not approved because it was a preexisting condition even though I may not be unaware of it and it was also due to the time frame of the policy. She further explained if it was within another month later it would have been a better outcome. Furthermore, I ask her what criteria did they use to prove it was a preexisting condition, she replied her technician report the same one who offered to fix it on the side.

    My experience with Choice Home Warranty was very bad and would advise anyone out there to think twice before buying a policy from this company, because when it is time to purchase the policy the sales rep are very friendly but when it is claim issue the service is very poor they will always find ways to denies your claim and they are very unprofessional. They do not value their customers. I am very dissatisfied with the service received from Choice Home Warranty and would rate them as a 1 star company.

    Choice Home Warranty hides behind small print disclaimer to deny a claim. Last November I purchased a home warranty for my elderly parent from Choice Home Warranty (CHW). In early May my mother turned on her AC and found it was not cooling properly. On May 12, 2016, I opened a repair request with Choice Home Warranty. The automated system assigned an AC company in Houston.

    When I called them the company did not know of the claim. I called CHW and five days later on May 17TH, Houston Comfort Air was assigned the repair call. We made an appointment with Houston Comfort Air and a technician looked at the unit and determined the AC coils had failed. Houston Comfort Air stated they would make their recommendation to CHW as to the covered repair. I called CHW the following day and they stated they would not cover the repair because the coils had suffered rust. They stated their policy does not cover failure of a covered item from rust. CHW stated Houston Comfort Air had quoted a price of $250.00 to replace the coil and charge the unit. CHW offered to cover $100 of the $250 repair. I agreed to have the work performed.

    When I called Houston Comfort Air, they stated there was a mistake and the actual cost would be around $1,400 to $1,600 to repair the AC coil. They stated the coil was no longer made and would have to order a retro-fit. When I read the contract from CHW it states they will not repair AC units that have had retro-fit equipment. So I called CHW and asked to speak to the resolution department. I told them I had another AC repair service company look at the AC. They recommended I have the second AC company call them and give their finding.

    The second AC company stated the coil had failed from time (unit is 23 years old) and normal wear and tear. I spoke to CHW resolution manager and told him my AC repair company had called and told them the failure was due to time and wear and tear. The CHW resolution supervisor stated he was a former AC technician and stated the coils are charged with a refrigerant of R-22 which is caustic and causes the coils to rust from inside out over time.

    Since the unit is 23 years old, I stated this is time-related failure of wear and tear. He stated their policy excludes failure from rust. So I asked if they know the coils are charged with a caustic refrigerant, then CHW does not warrant coils which is not specifically excluded. He stated CHW does cover the coils but not from rust. How could this be as the coils are charged with a caustic refrigerant? His denial made no sense as Choice Home Warranty is just hiding behind small print to deny the claim. I will never recommend them again to a client.

He called Choice and they said "just fill it again." NOT to fix it or replace it, repairman explained that's the way they are and wasn't happy with their company anyway. So I was very disappointed in Choice. Still have the leak in the air. SECOND: I had to call them out on my dishwasher, the repairman was here twice, I did everything the repairman told me to do and if that didn't work to call him again. Needless to say it didn't work and I had to call him again!! He then called Choice and told them my control panel on the dishwasher was bad. I had a top of the line stainless inside dishwasher, KitchenAid, and the repairman told them it'd cost $176 to replace the control panel.

    Choice said NO, and the repairman told me ahead of time they'd say that and then offer me a really low price, not a new one!! Then Choice called me right after the repairman left and said they would mail me a check for $250... I was so angry, my dishwasher was 3 years old and a top of the line product. I asked aren't they supposed to replace it with one comparable with the one I have? They said no, again said they'd send me a check for $250!! I'm retired and I cannot afford to buy a good dishwasher on the SSI I get every month. They are exactly what the 2 repairmen told me, they're useless and cheap!! They said they don't even pay them what they're worth as repairmen and they cheat the customers all the time.

    I received a call from a salesman based on a online inquiry. He provided quotes for the coverage, which were decent and less than my current warranty program. I explained that my AC unit didn't work and needed it repaired. The salesman said that I could file a claim, but would have to wait after the 30 day wait period to have the AC repaired (on a recorded line) I advised the salesman that I wanted to reach out to Sears to see if they would meet the cost. The salesman lowered the deductible even more if I signed up today, which I did.

    After the 30 day wait period, I called to file claim and was told it was pre-existing. But the salesman was advised and said I had to wait 30 days to have it fixed, of course to close the sale. After speaking with management, they apologized that the salesman lied and was deceiving, but could not honor the repair. I had to pay a cancellation fee to the prior warranty group because I cancelled. Had I known this was all a lie, I would have had them repair it and not waited 30 days.

    This was our first time using this home warranty. Once we got past a lengthy wait on the phone, it was all better than expected. Memorial Day and hot - A/C went out. They contacted EAZY BREEZY Heating and Air in Tucson. This company called us back within an hour. The very next day we had a new A/C motor installed by the friendliest company we ever dealt with and at zero cost. Happy we have this.

    My dishwasher was not draining and the dispatched contractor said he wasn't able to repair. Choice Warranty is reimbursing me $180 towards a new dishwasher. It will not cover even half of the cost but it's better than nothing. The contractor has been enlisted for two different claims and was both times rude and very reluctant to repair. The dryer is still not working properly and the dishwasher might not have needed replacement but Choice have been kind enough to ban him from any further claim calls from me.

    My experience has been absolutely worthless with what I was misled to believe in regards to home repair coverage offered. First the monthly fee and service call fees I was quoted to sign up were incorrect. We had some basic home repairs needed, and when I called it was stated that they wouldn't be covered. I went back through the materials sent to me and everything we needed completed was not covered. As a matter of fact there is more things not covered than covered by them. We used it once for our dryer and to this day it still doesn't run effectively. So much for a new replacement. The times I've called it has taken over 15 minutes to talk to a human being. Again I'm thoroughly displeased with Choice Home Warranty and would not recommend them to anyone.

    Technician fixed the washer on 2 occasions for the same problem. It broke again a couple days later and technician said he was booked solid and could not come out soon enough to fix it again. Called Choice warranty and they assigned another technician within the hour. New technician diagnosed the washer problem would be more expensive to fix than replace. Choice warranty then offered owner a full replacement of the washer. Such excellent service and excellent turnaround! Definitely worth the money invested buying the warranty. Warranty cost and service call fees are definitely one of the lowest prices, if not the lowest! Highly recommend this company! I'm a happy and very satisfied customer.

Cannot figure out what the problem is. Left with the issue unresolved and suggested I call a pool guy. Really! Why didn't Choice send out a pool repair person in the first place.
