Rep Luis was not personable at all... Not happy with his level of customer service. Asked to speak to a supervisor and he disconnected the call.... He also did not provide accurate information.... He also stated that the supervisor could not place my order which was incorrect.

Plumbing blockage. Even though the service man was an hour later getting to our home as scheduled, he was very professional, efficient, and helpful for our problem. We would use and recommend his company, Trilogy Services, again. Our problem still needs some help, but he promised to make a return trip to correct it.

This is my second claim with CHW, and neither has been totally satisfactory. This second claim involves my stand alone freezer which is failing by overtemping periodically throughout the day. We filed a claim with CHW, and they sent a repair person who troubleshot the freezer and found a defrost timer malfunctioning. He replaced the timer and indicated he thought that would solve the issue.
Within 8 hours the exact same problem reoccurred so I called the repair company who told me to contact CHW, which I did. CHW said they would dispatch the repairman back to our house. In the meantime the repair company contacted the factory who told them to order a new thermostat, and then the repair company told me they would come to install the thermostat when it came in. Today, I received an email from CHW that said the repair company said ". The assigned technician has found that the system has no mechanical failures and has advised there are no repairs needed or recommended at this time."
I called the repair company who told me they told CHW the problem is intermittent and the factory told them it was either the board failing or the timer but neither is available. Not exactly the same story. In the meantime my freezer continues to fail. I have since talked with the repair company, who told me they will contact CHW to clarify the issue. I have absolutely no confidence that I will ever see any satisfactory resolution for my problem. I will never recommend Choice Home Warranty to anyone I know.

I am disappointed I bought a Choice Home Warranty. I have a coolant leak on one of my A/C units and Choice denied the claim stating the leak on the coil is a manufacturer's defect. The unit is 6 years old. Choice says they don't cover manufacturer's defects. I wish the slick salesman would have told me this when he was telling me how great Choice's coverage is. Why have a warranty if they find more ways to get out of paying than providing you coverage when your unit breaks down. I would not recommend this company to anyone and will probably cancel my policy and get my remaining 6 years of money back. This will pay for my A/C repair.

I have just moved to Daphne, Al. a couple of years ago and it seems like everything in my house started having trouble. I paid upfront for 3 years and while the guy was selling Choice, everything I told him I had he said was covered and I think I had to pay extra for some things. He was a very nice and helpful guy and I was very pleased with him. And the reason I chose Choice was because of reviews, which I assume you had friends to right because I have had poor service from you since day one.
The techs that came out were great, but everything they turned in I was told was not covered. The only thing that I reported that got fixed was my extra frig. and it started make a noise the other day. So I am not sure that it is ok now. I have been turned down on the other things I reported something wrong with. Y’all found every excuse in the book not to fix my appliances. I was not told to look online for rules for you fixing appliances or even sent out a booklet for the same. After I started being turned down on my repairs or replacements, I started asking around and I was told by several friends that Choice was terrible and they wished I had asked them first.
You are not a truthful company and I am very upset because I was given every reason not to fix my appliances. I am a very honest person and I would not break these appliances and then report them damaged and I cannot help that they all started having issues. I would love to talk to the owner or president of the company because everyone else I have had contact with have all said the problem with the appliances I reported was not covered. But it was covered when I was purchasing it. This is not acceptable at all. I would not ask for something to be fixed that I was told would be taken care of at the time I purchased the coverage if I had been told it wasn’t covered.

As a new homeowner I files several claims for covered conditions. Each of the claims were first denied, then after appeal when each claims person told me these were not covered, I explained to each of them that I was on the Choice Ultimate plan, which offers extended coverage. Most of them ended up agreeing with me, so in the end it worked out. But better to have them know what plan is determinant before verbally rejecting the claims.

It took three phone calls, tries, to finally get someone out here and take a look at my leaky garbage disposal. With all the COVID-19 pandemic going on, I’m not surprised nor am I complaining. However number three was the magic number. He called 20 minutes out and I asked him if he would be opposed to wearing a mask which he complied with happily. He came in And after examination determined that indeed, I need a new garbage disposal. He said he turned in the paperwork and get back to me. I couldn’t be happier.

Where should I start. This company is the biggest scammer that I ever came across. I did a claim on my refrigerator. They end up sending a third party company to diagnose the issue and they collected $85 + $50 monthly charges. They been charging me every month. The technician mentioned the ice maker is bad and he need to order the part and he will come back and install it. Very next morning I get a call from that third party vendor telling me Choice warranty has decline my claim. I ask why and they mentioned I have to contact choice warranty for that.
I called the claims department again and they mention because there is lawsuit on that refrigerator they will not cover my fridge. And told me I have to call the manufacturer. I talk to manufacturer. They mention that there is no such lawsuit exists and warranty has been expired on my fridge and they cannot help me, which I understand. I had that fridge over 5 years. Choice home warranty people simply lied me and taken my money. I will be filing lawsuit against them. Don't believe any of these other reviews. They all are fake. They are just scammer.

I was told I was going to get an “unheard of” discount of $215 off and you were going to talk to them about a lower price to bring my total of $1500 out of pocket when it should have been covered! Now a water heater is hard to locate. It is over $1500 and it will probably cost me $2600 vs the $1500 I was promised! I have an 80 year old parent that lives with me and high risk for COVID 19 and no hot water!!!!

Always spoke with a live person and callback feature was excellent. All CRS took ownership of the issues and resolved them fairly and efficiently in the same call. They were able to adjust immediately. In the first instance, Wendy was able to change my start date since my previous warranty home company ended on March 16 and would not have been able to start till April 2. They were able to change the date albeit to March 2 (not when I used it on March 23) since I needed the service. The second example after the service itself was completed was related to the service provider and payment. Frieda called me and read my note on my reply online, did some research and offered a very fair resolution due to the unusual nature of the times. The call was cut off but no worries- I received an email shortly with the promised resolution. At all times, both CRS were pleasant, and focused on helping solve the issues and not blame.
I was with my previous home warranty company for more than 15 years and they started out this way but eventually customer service became poor hence the switch to CHW. CHW takes ownership of problems, has fast response, efficient and uses online and email communications that really put my mid at ease. With this high level of service I have developed a sense of trust and confidence with them as they go the extra mile. I hope to be with them for years to come.

This is semantics for not doing exactly what I purchased you for: FIX something when it breaks. The technician stated that the FIX is to replace a 3 speed pump with a 1 speed pump. I am giving up functionality to have a working system. And now you are denying this claim?

The technician who came out determined that there was a leak in the a/c system. Choice did not give him permission to check it out, so there would be an additional cost of $100 for him to check the leak, which he did not think he would be able to find. He then proceeded to offer me several options for a new system, ranging in price from $11,000 to $17,000. I felt that was totally inappropriate since a definitive answer to the problem had not been reached. He said he would e-mail me the proposals, which he never did. He said that I could make an appeal, which I did, A written response came back stating that rust and/or corrosion in the system invalidated the warranty. That decision had not been made. I was told that I would be given a specific contact person within 24 hours.
A lady called and I shared all the information with her. She indicated that nothing further could be done until the guy had done the follow-up check, at my expense. At this point, I was totally disgusted and realized that my warranty has numerous more exclusions than outright benefits. For example, the ice-maker in my refrigerator is leaking. I checked and, of course, the ice-maker is excluded. It is clear that I spend $1,900 for a useless warranty.

After six claims in the last three years, I finally received a service that Choice approved but that experience is clearly the exception. Past experience has shown that claims for faulty appliances are consistently denied because failures of certain pieces or parts aren’t covered. In short, you’re not as covered as you think you are and certainly nowhere near as covered as the advertisements suggest. Small issues like a burnt out circuit breaker (this claim), unclogging a toilet/sink, etc. are covered.
In short, the coverage advertised as major appliance coverage is really for very small common issues. Major issues - don’t believe the hype; don’t believe the advertisements. You’re not covered. Small issues - you might be covered but those also require a system or device to fail in a certain way. As I am reminded more times than not, read your plan details. The process as it stands, is sign up and a plan is sent after the fact. Make sure to read the thick stack of small print and understand what is and what isn’t covered before your review period ends.

My claim this past week was for a dryer making a lot of noise. Tech came out, was very friendly, and fixed the issue. He called Choice on the spot and the claim was denied because the Choice rep asked "was there any hair on the rollers". The tech said "yes, some", but was not abnormal and these are perishable parts that need replacing every now and then. This was followed up with an email from Choice explaining that the claim was denied because "we (Choice) are not liable for repair of conditions caused by failure to clean or maintain as specified by the equipment manufacturer".
So I submitted an appeal based on the fact that there's no dryer manual anywhere that suggests that part of normal owner-maintenance is me getting out my tools, on my knees, turning my dryer upside down, pulling screws, and getting into the inner workings and dryer mechanics to remove hair, lint, and lube all moving parts. I'm not a dryer tech and I'm not going to do that. I would suggest that not many dryer owners do that either. The Choice appeals rep called me to let me know that the claim was never denied and that she got it paid. I sent her a copy of the denial letter that's pretty clear and the tech confirmed to me that it was denied on the phone while he was here. He told me "it was ridiculous".
The reason for the denial that I just posted above is a straight copy and paste from that letter. But kudos to the tech (which is a private company, not Choice). He only charged me my deductible and said it wasn't worth his time to fight over the $100 or so that he's lost, so he just took the loss. So my review is not even about me losing any money, I didn't. The tech got raked over the coals on this one, although now he's ultimately paid because I made so much noise about this shady claim. So not only are they lying to customers, they are denying clear-cut cases in hopes that the customers don't say anything, IMHO. In my case, they just messed with the wrong person. And this was the 3rd time in my 3.5 year contract that this has happened.
I'm going back to my previous warranty company that I was with for years as I had zero problems with them. Choice was just cheaper when I signed up, so boy did I get what I paid for. BBB rating is bad as well, plus they have a lawsuit underway that has to do with denying claims, and thousands of bad reviews and complaints on the BBB site. Their average review is 1-star, and that's extremely hard to accomplish by any company, so this is not just my opinion. Stay away.

Our original one year warranty (provided by our realtor) with this company ended in October 2019, without the need for any service during that period. After the constant barrage of phone calls and emails, promises, “special” deals for a 3 year warranty, along with extended coverages adding 3 months and lowered the cost, we finally caved and renewed our warranty in October 2019.
We were very specifically told, by the sales representatives, that we would be covered for all repairs not caused by negligence (the salesman actually said “if you take a sledgehammer to it, of course we won’t cover it!”), and if repair is not possible, they would replace it with the equal quality. We asked many, many questions during the 6 or 7 high pressured sales calls, and continually was told the same information (lies and deceptive tactics) regarding repairs and replacement. Insinuating that this warranty would cover all repairs, barring “taking a sledgehammer to it”, the exact words used by the salesperson.
Our first claim after 18 months of having this coverage, was rejected because: “The failure found with the system is due to the veins on the blower wheel becoming damaged or dislodged. From the wheel being out of balance, there has been added strain and stress to the blower motor and blower housing causing catastrophic damage to the system. This type of failure does not constitute a normal wear and tear failure, as it would only happen from the wheel spinning out of balance caused by something hitting the wheel and/or the loss of a manufacturer placed weight.”
We don’t know what the rejection of our claim means technically, and it is not clearly defined in terms most homeowners would understand, let alone locate within the legal jargon in the Choice warranty. The warranty says wear and tear is specifically covered. It is absurd and completely unrealistic to expect homeowners who know little or nothing about heating units, to know that something completely out of our control, would not be covered. This in itself, renders the warranty a fraud, a bait and switch, worthless, a scam perpetrated on folks who who cannot technically process beyond that which was promised and sold as: “A home warranty provides repair or replacement of all covered systems and appliances that were in the home and in proper operating condition on the agreement effective date, and that have been properly installed and maintained, no matter their age, make or model.” Peace of mind?
The service provider they sent to repair our unit, said we could not possibly have known anything was wrong until the unit began making noises, at which time we turned the unit off and called Choice Home Warranty for service. He also indicated (paraphrasing) that this had to do with the motor and the blower on the unit malfunctioning, indicating that he saw no signs of negligence, and this was most likely due to wear. Choice ignored his assessment and refused to cover the claim.
We have maintained all of our appliances, including professional cleaning, regular replacement of filters and necessary parts. We had the heating unit, and all of the built in appliances, inspected just over a year ago. We were told by the inspector that the heating unit was in perfect working condition, and until a few days ago, we had no issues.
After spending all day on phone calls and emails, we have requested a full refund as the 3 year warranty has barely begun, as the warranty was purchased based on fraud, deceptive marketing practices, and literally a bait and switch rather than the “peace of mind” we thought we were purchasing. We are still waiting for their response, as advised by Consumer Affairs and our State Attorney's office.

I was very dissatisfied with this company. My AC went out at the worst time and needed coils replaced. My claim was denied even after one of CHW employees told me and the service company over the telephone that "it shouldn't be a problem, they replace coils all the time for that." Yet my claim was denied! I am elderly and live in South Mississippi and have multiple health auto immune issues and cannot leave my house. You would think during this time with our country is in crisis they would help their customers better than that!

It is absolutely ridiculous that I have paid into this warranty for approximately 2 years now and I make 1 appt. and have a plumbing issue fixed and of course, just like my friends had told me—Choice Home Warranty denied the claim and thank god god it was only $410. But still I feel that this is something that they should have covered! I even appealed it and the man I talked to didn’t even want to listen to the explanation! When I talked to the plumber that was here at the time, he even told me that, that was not the part that needed fixed but Choice home warranty kept telling me that it was not a covered component! Well that’s not even what They replaced as I kept telling the warranty company! Just do yourself a favor, put money aside on your own and pay cash at the time anything goes wrong because obviously what I thought was going to be a safe investment turned out wrong! DO NOT BUY A CHOICE HOME WARRANTY!!!

My wife got online to look at home warranties because we are not happy with our present service. We got a call almost immediately and spoke with a very knowledgeable young man. He explained the coverage in detail and gave us an offer that we couldn't refuse. I am hopeful that all our interactions with Choice are as helpful and professional as this.

Replacement of Garbage Disposal - We purchased our home a few months ago and at that same time purchased the Choice Home Warranty program. This is the first time a claim was made and it was handled professionally. It wasn't handled as timely as desired due to the demands on plumbers; however, they contracted with a professional firm that installed a quality replacement product. Very satisfied customer.

Was first time I had to use my home warranty and was not very pleased. I called in the order on a Wednesday and didn’t get the problem fixed until Monday. I was sent a email telling me they couldn’t find a plumber in our area. I found that hard to believe. I thought with the warranty the problem would be taken care of within 24 to 48 hours.

I prepaid for 5 years. I've called 4 times. My A/C went down in mid July. Called and 48 hours later a tech shows up and has to get permission to repair. He is later allowed to put new contacts. A week later, A/C is down, again 48 hours, again he's allowed to replace contact points. Two weeks later A/C down again, another 48 hours. He is allowed to switch bad motor which caused the bad contacts. Three days later, A/C down again - another 48 hours, he is allowed to replace the motor that was recently installed. Six months later, A/C down again - another 56 hours, he is allowed to replace the same motor. The A/C is 17 years old. Why do you suppose it keeps burning up motors and contacts? HMMMMM? DO NOT BUY CHOICE HOME WARRANTY. They will nickel and dime every repair for the length of the contract. You've been warned.

Washing machine broke, could not be fixed. They only offered $349.99 to replace my 3.7 cu ft waster based on THEIR COST. They used to stock appliances to give to customers, they do not do that anymore, but they base the replacement value on THEIR COST, Not retail. Section F16: 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.
We pay $46.67 per month which is $606.71 for the past 13 months. They "generously" offered an additional $50.00 for my washer replacement, but that is still $300.00 under what I need to replace my washer with a COMPARABLE washer, not an upgrade. They say that they allow $15,000 per year for repairs and/or replacements, but would not give me enough to replace my washer without coming out of pocket. I cannot fathom how basing an appliance repair on a cost that the general public has no access to is fair or ethical. They also refused to share their cost of other appliances. It was made very clear that the $349.99 for the washing machine was the maximum amount allowed by their company and that they are not concerned at all with how much my actual washing machine is worth or what a replacement would cost.

My refrigerator compressor went out. The technician relayed this to me when he left.. Choice was trying to say it was a leak and you don't cover leaks. This was not true and I am not happy about that. After talking to the case manager, I had to pay the labor fee. I have been with Choice for some years now and do not appreciate the outcome of this problem. Melony was very polite and as helpful as she could be. I am not faulting her but the person who initially filled out the claim. I should not have paid the labor fee for service covered under my plan. This has left a bitter taste in my mouth. I should be reimbursed my $270 back.

I paid upfront 1750.00 for a 6 year contract for them to provide a service in which I have had to replace several items out of pocket because they do not cover it in their contract. I have requested a refund Prorated for the one year of Poor Service they provided Plus a $50.00 Cancellation Fee, and oh yes that $75.00 check they sent is now Void.
