    When I called to place the claim, the rep said it would take 4 hours or more for the plumber to contact me. It was less than that and a weekend date was set for the appointment. Originally it was set for the following Monday. The plumber called and asked if he could come on Saturday, and I said sure. It is the Christmas season and holidays and he wanted to make my time without water in my home shorter than necessary and have it for before Christmas.

    I have had Choice Home Warranty for only a month. I had a dishwasher break and refrigerator leak. My claim was denied on my dishwasher because I was told the problems found couldn't have happen when my policy started. That being said, I felt lied to at the time I was sold the policy. READ THE FINE PRINT... Their sales and service reps will not tell you the truth. I specifically asked if an old appliance was to have problems, would it be covered; "of course, no questions asked". Which I have now found is a complete lie. After paying for the complete policy, I was offered 10% refund. Really!!! After having the policy for a month?

    The customer service center reps were rude and completely provided no assistance. I was screamed at and was told there was nothing I could do, just take $39 and shut up. Buyers beware! I made a bad decision to purchase a warranty with Choice. I am completely disappointed and advise anyone looking for warranty, select another company. Do not let the ratings fool you like I was.

    I purchased a three year contract with Choice about 3 months ago and had my first claim on Dec 11. We had a clogged main drain causing a backup into our laundry tube located on the lower level. I called Choice about 10:30 am to report the issue. I received a call from a local plumber (Home Improvement Plumbing) within 15 minutes of my report and the plumber scheduled an appointment for between 3:00 - 4:00 pm that same day. They showed up at the house at ten of 3:00 and did a neat job of resolving the problem within 30 min. Nice job and great service. Makes me feel I made the right selection of warranty companies.

The technician said he did more work than he actually completed and then Choice Home Warranty told me that my claim was uncovered. I was very upset because the problem was not fixed by the first technician and the second technician told Choice Home Warranty that he did several things, but he told me he made one adjustment on the opener. The Choice Home Warranty representative documented the matter and addressed it immediately with the technician/contractor.

    So as the tradition in my house, something major breaks at Christmas time. This time the dishwasher went from working off and on, to just refusing to even come on. I called up Choice and the repairman that came over, said the control panel on the dishwasher was out. He would have to check on a replacement panel and probably order it. Within an hour of him leaving I got several urgent voicemails from Choice. The 6 year old dishwasher was not worth a control panel replacement. They wanted to settle out on the dishwasher. I am very pleased that my claim was immediately addressed and I did not have to wait at all on a decision.

    This company is no different than any other home warranty company. They start a claim and connect you with a company, this is where it goes downhill. The company they assign you is too busy to get an appointment right away. They finally get to your home and of course your appliance needs a part that they have to order which takes up to a week. By the time they get back to your home it's approaching 2 weeks. I currently have an open claim. The original company assigned to me backed out of the contract with Choice so I am stuck with an inoperative dryer right now.

    This is the second home warranty service I had. I was skeptical about home warranty because of my past experience with other national company providing similar service, but my friends had high recommendation for CHW so subscribed. Two months after the subscription I had plumbing issue to which a technician was assigned immediately. This is where I restricted myself to give 4 star instead of 5 because it took four technicians to actually perform the job. The first two didn't show up, the third one came for inspection but then was not reachable by CHW or me (customer), fourth technician was assigned, and he finished the job in 2 days.

    In all this CHW customer service was excellent and apologetic because of first two technicians response and even waived my service call fee as courtesy. My experience dealing with CHW customer service is great. All members were very polite and professional. They understood the grievance technician's unavailability had caused and worked quickly with me to resolve. I would highly recommend CHW to whoever is looking for peace of mind, dealing with occasional issues in homeownership.

    I have a repair contract with this company and find them very difficult to deal with on the 2 occasions that I needed to call them. They claim that all appliances are covered until you need a repair. Then all of a sudden it's not covered. Example is I called because my refrigerator was not working. They sent a repairman who said it needs 2 parts to be repaired. When Choice called me, they claimed they could not cover the repair because the parts were no longer available for this model and the best they could do was give me $200.00 toward a new refrigerator. I was surprised to hear that since my model was not old. So I called Maytag and was told that the parts were available. I called Choice back and then I got a new story.

    Choice does not want to pay because they claim that part # 1 caused part # 2 to not work so part # 2 is not covered because it is now considered secondary damage. They do not want to cover part # 1 because only replacing this part won't fix the problem. This is just double talk to me. After much back and forth, they said they will cover part #1 but I will have to pay for part #2 and they will no longer cover the refrigerator. Although they claim to cover all appliances, it is just not so. They find loopholes in everything. I would NOT recommend them to anyone.

    I had a new smart thermostat installed and one morning it showed no temp. I presumed that the thermostat was the problem and called the Company in Canada. They troubleshot the thermostat over the phone and determined that the problem was my furnace. I had recently had my semi-annual furnace checkup, and wanted to use the same people for this issue. I called CHW and was told that I could do that, but that I would have to pay the provider and submit the bill to CHW for reimbursement, less the co-pay. As it turned out, the problem was covered by my HVAC people, as it has a 30 day warranty on their work and it turned out to be something associated with the maintenance recently completed. It cost me nothing, and I was able to use the people who are familiar with my equipment. I was very pleased with CHW's cooperation.

Sorry, this company is extremely good at hounding you to sign up and to renew but they apparently don't have the ability to fulfill their duty to provide services.

A couple of months later when the weather got cool enough to go on the lani, neither fan or light would work correctly. I called Choice and within an hour I had an appointment with a service tech.

    Choice Home Warranty has had my home warranty policy for 1 year and I renewed at the end of the year for another year. I had many reservations when I renewed and was not going to except that they sent a really exceptional AC guy out to fix my AC. Prior to that, I had a dryer repair and there was a deeply troubling incident with that repair.

    It took several trips and two repair companies to fix my Whirlpool dryer. The repair consisted of replacing the heating element. After the first attempt the repairmen turned on the dryer and it toasted one of the two circuit breakers for the dryer. They told me I then needed an electrician. The electrician came out and told me that the box was not up to code and that Choice would not cover it. Well, I had just replaced the box two years ago and it was permitted and inspected. I couldn't figure out how that came to be and then I realized that one of the repairmen had gone to the box and slipped of the bridge that connected the two circuits. They almost burned my house down.

    On Thanksgiving, both my heater and my refrigerator went out. The repairmen came to look at the refrigerator and said that it was shot and needed a seal job and compressor. This was denied by Choice Home Warranty on the basis that they do not cover any coolant leaks at all. The heater was repaired and then Choice denied the claim. They stated that the repairman said the capacitor was blown because of a lack of maintenance. This again was not true and the repair told me that Choice didn't ask him to asses the heater, only what the repair was and what the cost was. In my opinion, Choice is a bad choice. I'm contacting an attorney today to sue them. Every one I've talk to says the exact same thing about Choice, that they just stop paying the claims and deny them for absolutely no reason. In my case, I know for certain they lied and that they sent people to my home that had no concern for mine or my family's welfare.

She more than proved herself to be competent, compassionate, and effective in resolving my claim and in issuing reimbursement for my poor machine which could not be resuscitated. This home warranty plan was purchased for me by seller of my new home. But I will likely be renewing my policy at end of year's term. Am quite happy and pleased with CHW!

    Called Choice Home Warranty the day before Thanksgiving due to dishwasher that stopped functioning. We tried to be understanding since it was prior to a busy holiday and were willing to have appointment scheduled for after Thanksgiving. Date was set up, then cancelled due to injury of repairman. Rescheduled for following week. After numerous phone calls and confusion on their part as to days/dates, and 2 visits by repairman (second one to "confirm" and report unable to repair), we were told that they will "give" us $180 to replace. There are no decent dishwashers out there for this amount of money. Not only that, they state they don't care consider install costs, delivery fees, taxes, etc. We've been told install by plumber will be $110 -- which doesn't leave one heck of a lot towards a dishwasher.

    We did not expect the complete cost to be covered, but this is insanely ridiculous as an attempt to replace a dishwasher. Besides that, it's now 12 days after the incident reported. Negotiations today have deteriorated. They have said they will give us a final offer of either replacement or dollar amount by the end of the day. Thus, my review will be modified after the fact should they deign to be more reasonable. Thus far, though, it's been a very time-consuming and frustrating experience. Since I purchased a warranty for our rental property as well as a 5-year warranty on our own home, I can only think of how long I'm going to be stuck with this company if this is the way they deal with issues.

    The pool service company that was assigned was prompt in their response. They took photos and a recording of the pool pump while in operation and determined that a new pump would be needed. They contacted CHW and we understand that CHW will pay $500 toward the new pump, and we will be required to pay the remaining cost. We knew of this because it is outlined in the CHW documents. The pool company estimated the replacement to take place by Tues or Wed.

    It's my belief that the service we received was fair, but would have like more toward the cost of our new dishwasher. I believe that's human nature, especially when you spent twice the amount you received for a new dishwasher. There the way I figure it, something is better than nothing. I still don't understand why it took 30 days for the dishwasher money, but we did get it. Life is good!

    First of all, I read many of reviews here and I found a consensus that bad reviews were deleted, which the cases was exactly same to me. I had a problem with my refrigerator and technician estimates over $1,000 for repair due to compressor exchange and his labor, but I got offered $400 from CHW for replacement. I asked how come it is only $400 even though I paid $ 95 for Sears' service fee (hence actual CHW's offered amount to me was $350 after service of $45), and they back to me with no explanation but just repeat their policy F16 - that said - "16. We reserve the right to offer cash back in lieu of repair or replacement in the amount of Our actual cost (which at times may be less than retail) to repair or replace any covered system, component or appliance".

    I am nicely asked again if you can provide me your calculation of $400, keep saying policy 16 and threaten me if I want it or not. They implied that I do not have a choice but accept their resolution. I talked to manager, but she said exactly same thing as another girl. I would accept and I'd be happy if they could reasonably explain to me and not to threaten me. This is not the way to live in this world that I believe. You just can't threaten your customer.

The technicians are always great and they assign one within hours of your call. This claim was the first time we had to replace an appliance. They decided to send me a check. At first this was upsetting as I expected a replacement... and for an additional $100 I was able to replace my washer with another front loader that even had new features like steam. I could have replaced my washer with a lesser model within the check amount but in the end I like that I had the choice of model and maker. Thanks.

    I put in service report on October 22 for dishwasher that wouldn't turn on. That afternoon I got a call from service tech and set appointment for the next day. The service tech arrived at the specified time and looked at dishwasher. Within half an hour, he told me that he wouldn't be able to repair it. He said Choice would contact me and offer replacement options. After 3 days, I hadn't heard from Choice so I called them. I was told that my only option was to replace the dishwasher. The Choice rep told me I would be receiving a check for $179.99 within the next month. They said that was average price of comparable dishwashers. They told me they didn't go by retail costs. That was October 26.

    Received the check on November 30. I have priced out dishwashers. The cheapest I can find is around $350 plus installation cost ($100-125). I called Choice and asked if they were at least going to pay the installation costs. They said they didn't do that. I was then put in touch with a supervisor who told me she could send me a check for $50. But that was all they could do for me. The reason I bought a home warranty was so I didn't have to foot the cost of replacing appliances. Paying for service call then buying a new dishwasher and paying to have it installed I am putting out at least $500. Choice is giving me $230. NOT a good experience!

    Took out a warranty with Choice Warranty in 9.28.15. They billed me one month of 69.17. On 10.28.15 they billed me twice (deducted out of my bank account two payments) $69.17 and $69.17. I told them that they could just credit me for my next payment in November. In November we had an issue with a water heater. Their rep they sent (not a license plumber) he said he was a roofer that no one wants to work for this company because they don't pay claims said we needed a new gas valve. He could not locate one. He called them and they said that they would not pay for a replacement only the gas valve. They called me and said I would get a check for 109 (and I paid the roofer a $45.00 check to **).

    When I asked what I was supposed to do their person on the phone said "Nothing." They could do take the check and fix it myself. I explained that is not what I was told when I signed up with their person. I was told if they couldn't get a part it would be replaced. I understand there is small print, but I was verbally told. I told her I was upset. She said I could cancel. I said will I still get the check she said YES. She sent me to the cancellation group and they stated I would get the check and I would not be billed and I would be paid back my October overpayment and the $19 prorated amount for the $119 for the part that broke during coverage of my policy.

    On the 28th another payment was taken from my account after I cancelled on the 24th. As of today I have only received the prorated refund. I called and was told that I will not get the prorated. I will get another $50 to $69.17 for overpayment. They will not honor their agreement to pay me the prorated or the $119 for the defective unit. I called and was told "oh well", they don't care.

We have hired a property management co. which does not handle home warranty so I call the Choice Home Warranty to cancel the service. I thought I would get back about half of my payment. Guess what? They prorate by month instead of days. So our coverage started on 4/24/15 and cancelled on 12/2/2015. Choice Home prorated two more months' fee plus $50 process fee. Basically you could pay extra month and $50 for cancel your policy!!

    We are claim free since the policy does not cover many things even we have total coverage. Plus the lady who serve me on phone identified herself as Sue claimed she is a manager is terrible at service. I told her the promise I received when sign up and asked for waive the $50 with my multiple warranties with the company. I have never encountered such an unreasonable customer service staff.

He told me he was going to try to get them replaced. He fixed my dryer and did a good job. He charged me $180, $60 for each appliance.

    I called 2 days later to what was going on because having an oven and dishwasher is important to have working in a household. When I called and spoke to the customer service rep and told her the amount I was charged, she informed me that they should have dropped a charge for the same tech to look at all three for once. She also informed me another rep wanted to speak to me about the repairs needed on my oven and dishwasher. This new rep told me they were not going to cover my oven or dishwasher because the oven and dishwasher were not in good condition and consider my claim pre existing based on the tech's notes.

    The units are old, I will agree. But when I got my warranty nothing was explained not covering appliance based on condition nor did they come and inspect the condition on the units when they agreed to cover them. I just purchased my house along with the warranty and $180 for the service charge. I am out a lot of money and nothing has been fixed. The rep offered to credit me a $60 charge for my next claim but I feel I was ripped off to just have a tech come, write information down on my units, attempt and fix one out of the three broken.

    The most apparent aspects of the Claim Team's performance are (i) their immediate availability. Meaning you could contact them right away when you need services (which in most cases are urgent). Unlike my former home service company, I had had to wait from afternoon till 11 pm to be able to talk to an agent. Main reason why I had left it; and (ii) their immediate action and close follow-up on contractor's progress. One hour after my service call, I already received an email from the team informing me of the assigned contractor for the service, and shortly after (I think 4 hours later), another email inquiring if the contractor had called to arrange a schedule. Probably because of this close follow-up, the contractor (name on your files) came to service on Sunday 11/29, then came back on Monday to replace an additional part.
