    I have had my dryer serviced 4 times now and it still is not working properly. The contractors they sent the first time kept scheduling and not showing up also. Now this time the tech told them my dryer motor is burnt out and not working so they say it is not insurable. So, if that is case why does it still dry clothes but the timer is just messing up so they do not dry fully. They say I have to pay for my own tech to prove this tech wrong for them to move forward. They will not believe anything I tell them. Stay away from this company. I have paid them $3000 and getting no coverage, only hassle.

    You can be pleased with the work your technician did. It was excellent. However, the issue of payment for service. I gave him the $45 check and would be happy to pay him for the parts, but would appreciate the balance of his Labor bill being covered by Choice. I thought that is what I paid for, was service from Choice to be the go between with Warranty issues in situations like this. The Customer Service I received from your Technician was Tops, However I did not expect to cover everything in this situation. That is why I purchased this coverage.

    I've consistently had to delay repairs for my tenants due to inconsistent/unavailable/unhelpful support from Choice. This has included frequent denials of coverage, when coverage was actually appropriate. I've spent countless hours on the phone with representatives that just read off scripts, and don't help me with my repair needs. Choice draws from the lowest quality contractors.

    We bought a home 4 years ago and it came with a home warranty from this company. We did not have to use the first couple years. Last year, our pool pump had an issue and the first contractor they assigned did not show up, so then back in the queue for another contractor. Then they only covered $250 (the MAX for pool equipment). Pretty much useless. Against my better judgment we kept for another year. Had an issue with an electrical panel in our oven that causes the light not to work among other things. Claim denied. I submitted 2nd request for re-review and still denied because they say they do not replace lights. That is NOT the claim. I could put a new bulb in & it still wouldn't work. Still declined. Complete and utter b/s. Officially done with this low class company. Read ALL of the fine print and definitely shop around. A couple dollars more gets you REAL coverage elsewhere when you actually have a claim.

    We purchased a one-year home warranty when we purchased our house as our realty recommended, since we had a little extra leftover in our closing costs. A few months later, on a Tuesday, our heat pump stopped working. It's mid-January, lows in the 10s at night. So we call Choice Home Warranty, and they tell us they'll put in a quote with their "team of repair companies in our area". 18 hours go by. Wednesday morning get an email that a repair company will be by middle of the day on Thursday. I call to see if this can be moved up, but apparently, CHW's "team of repair companies" consists of a single company, so whatever availability they have is what we're stuck with.

    So another 24 hours go by and the repair company finally comes. Turns out the wiring that runs to our heat pump is broken. Great, easy fix right? A small spool of wire and a couple hours' work. Nope. They charge me our $65 service fee, and tell me that they have to leave to submit a work claim to CHW. They can't just fix the problem then and there, even though it's only a 2-hour fix and it's 11:00 am. They tell me best-case-scenario, they'll be back tomorrow (which would be the 3rd day without heat).

    A few hours later, we get notice that our claim has been rejected due to Terms and Conditions Section D Number 8 "Excluded". So I open up the Terms and Conditions only to find that basically EVERYTHING is excluded. It essentially says, "Oh your heat is broken, no problem! We'll fix it... as long as the issue has nothing to do with the radiators, baseboards, valves, fuel storage tanks, fireplaces, filters, registers, backflow preventers, drain pains, grills, clocks, timers, add-ons for multi-zone units, heat lamps, fuels, vents, chimneys, maintenance, commercial grade equipment, broken or severed wires, or damages due to power failure."

    That's only a sampling of the exclusions, and just for heat/electrical. Every single system in the house has a massive list of exclusions. Now I understand how this company makes money: sell warranties, then build up such a massive list of exclusions that they never have to pay for any work. So now, it's been more than two days without heat (our house is in the low 50s, only because we've been running space heaters non-stop) and I'm exactly where I could have been right after it broke: calling companies to see who can come and fix the issue today, except now, I'm out $65 and very annoyed.

    Updated on 02/11/2020: I was promised and have emails that I would be refunded $45 for a technician fee that Choice Home Warranty sent out. They didn't fix the problem, in fact it appears he might have caused a bigger issue. Choice Home Warranty won't give me the work order stating what this guy did so what are they hiding? Then they wouldn't send a new technician out so I had to call one as our furnace was out for 3 days and they didn't care. Once I got someone on the line with the new person I hired to fix as they stated I could, they denied the claim. I appealed and was then told they would pay $175 towards that claim. I haven't seen a dime - this is ridiculous and horrible that I have emails proving this and they still won't pay. Stay away from this company!!!!

    Original review: I will tell you now to STAY AWAY FROM CHOICE HOME WARRANTY! They state they cover electric furnaces and then when one breaks, they state it's not covered due to a wire. Excuse me, wires run electric furnaces. They also don't check to see if the technicians they are sending are certified in that area and I had one come out to check my furnace and they RUINED IT and Choice Home is covering it up, not paying for the actual repairs from a certified technician that I had to call out. I have asked for the work order from the first technician and they are refusing to send what that guy did to my furnace. Please run far away from this company, they are NOT trustworthy and you will get the run around every time you try talking to them. It's like they have machines running what they should say.

A little after the time, our oven went out. They refused to service our stove and oven! Once they did, the serviceman said the oven couldn’t be fixed. According to the warranty, my oven was to be replaced with something comparable. They refused! I ended up paying $500, because they canceled my warranty!!!

A nice repairman came Monday at 12:30, however, had no answer to when they would have the part to fix my washing machine. He said if the part Choice ordered that night was in stock, it may be by Friday. That is over a week without washing machine?

    I have made several claims with my Choice Home Warranty policy. They have paid on one. The one they did pay on they sent someone that started and said they would be right back and left. They made things so much worse we wound up having to call in another company to come and fix the problem and pay out of pocket after we had already paid the people choice sent. We have made two central unit claims and they keep denying them. I have had several HVAC people look at our contract and say they do not understand how they are denying our claims.

    I will never use choice again. We paid extra for several things to be added on and it was just a waste. You call and ask them if something is covered because you are tired of tying up your day off and paying the 75$ fee just to be told it’s not covered and all they tell you is they can’t tell you until they send someone out to look at it. We live check to check and this company is a huge rip off! I have complained before and was asked what my policy number was so they could look into it and get back to me and I never heard another word.

    Despite Choice's technician saying my AC problem was a result of normal wear and tear, giving them a copy of the home inspection from a few months earlier, and the fact that the system was in a secured, fenced back yard with camera and lighting showing no person damaging the system, they decided it must have been from something other than normal wear and tear.

    I will never buy home warranty again. Through my experience with Choice I learned that most companies like them are only covering worst case scenarios that aren't cause by you. If you read the warranty, failure in the appliance or unit must not be because of the failure to maintain the appliance or unit. Through Choice's experiences, any damage to appliance or unit that's a result of manufacture defect or improper usage will be written in fine print in the warranty. With all this said or done, most appliance or units without defect and properly maintained will last you longer than the warranty period they offer.

    Essentially what consumers like us are doing are giving away free money on fears that our appliance or units will break. Honestly, save your money. Put it in a bank for 5 years. When your appliance or unit dies, you'll be glad that you saved your $1000 or $4000 to be used for actually buying a new appliance or unit rather than using it to buy home warranties. Now not all home warranties are bad, but I find that good home warranties need referrals from their network.

    We have had Choice Home Warranty for 5 years. We've had issues with CHW not having contractors to cover electric issues, in our area, sending an email to us alerting us they are still working on it, however we can go and find one then verify they will work with them. The electrical issues EVENTUALLY worked out with CHW finding a contractor.

    On Jan 17 2020, I called in a system failure for my furnace. Our CO2 monitor had contacted the fire department of a leak. Later Friday afternoon around 3 pm, CHW sent an email that they did not have anyone accept the work order, and again stating we can look for one. Monday morning I did just that, and the tech came right out, stating in our 22 year old furnace that it had a crack in the heat exchange. We called CHW, my tech spoke with the authorization department, who then told me I would receive an email within 2 hours as he had submitted it for review. Not even 5 minutes later, I received the email with the decline for service with the reason of "Water leaks on the system, whether from a drain line that is plugged or a humidifier that isn't seated properly, will cause a corrosive build up on the outer shell and rust which creates premature cracking." What is premature in a 22 year old system? There is no rust present, inside the system.

    I have requested an appeal, and have an email that a case manager will be assigned in one day. ? Seriously? It is an emergency situation in the middle of 16 degree weather with a low of 4.

    I have been taken. I paid upfront for 5 years of warranty thinking I was going to be taken care of should things go wrong in the new home I purchased. What a huge mistake! Choice Warranty sales are good. The representatives make it sound like your home is cover from top to bottom. Each time a contractor arrives, they collect $60 from you, whether they can fix the problem or not. This was our experience. We ended up 'not covered' for the plumbing needed. BE SURE to read what this company covers, because it is very little.

    When we did have a plumbing issue they claim to cover, we sat all day waiting for a technician to call on a Friday. All plumbing in all sinks, tubs, and toilets were stopped. No apparent reason. Then it started to leak. To avoid damage, we had to shut off the water. 5 hours later, no word from Choice Warranty or their "many qualified" vendors. Now, my husband in a wheelchair and me knowing nothing about plumbing had to hire another vendor before the day ended and we were charged emergency prices.

    The people at Home Choice were cocky, rude, and showed no concern. I spoke with Melissa who told me that I might have to wait 24 hours to get a contractor out. The website states 6 hours. She also said they do not guarantee reimbursement if I hire my own out of desperation. I paid $2100 for a 6 year contract (2018-2024) thinking I was going to have help and coverage when I needed someone. WRONG I was. So, I canceled. Guess what was returned to me after all the fees and 'fast-talking'? $1058. Does the math seem right to you? It did not to me. Run away from this company and their less than caring employees.

    Every time I submit a claim with CHW they reference some fine print in their plan that denies me coverage and I have to argue. What is the point of purchasing a home warranty plan if they have a bunch of exclusions. When I purchased the plan I was told everything in the home is covered which is not the case and give customers a false sense of security. Very unhappy with their service.

    We did not have a good experience with Choice Home Warranty when we made our first claim with plumbing problems in Feb. 2019. It took over 2 weeks to have a service provider call to set up an appointment. Then the provider stood us up without calling two days in a row. The provider set up a third appointment for a Saturday morning. Hours after the scheduled appointment we were finally able to reach the provider who stated that he just did not want to come out as scheduled because he had so much trouble getting paid by Choice Home Warranty. So 2 1/2 weeks later we were still unable to use our water. My husband had to go buy tools and fix the plumbing problem at our own expense. Choice Home Warranty didn't return our calls or emails after they didn't send anyone out. Very dissatisfied!

    We just made a claim for our washer, dryer, and a standup freezer. They've agreed to fix the dryer and the freezer, not the washer. CHW was given information on the issues and make and model of all 3 appliances. The service provider came out 4 days after the claim was made. He showed up on time and called to inform me that he was on the way. That was Monday. Parts have been ordered by the service provider for the freezer and dryer. The parts are supposed to take a couple of days before they are in. This particular service provider was nice and informative.

    The freezer went out while we were out of town during the holidays. It was completely full of meat. Over $500 worth. The freezer smells horrible and the service provider said the smell would probably never come out. My question is why aren't they replacing the freezer and its contents??? What exactly have we been paying for? The freezer was only 4 years old and was fully stocked. Hello CHW...do you think we should continue with your company or recommend your company? Photo attached. Would you want to use this freezer? *Very dissatisfied customer, Terri.

    Came home last Tuesday to a kitchen floor full of water, my refrigerator ice maker line had ruptured, knowing this was not a covered issue. I called several repair places and had a technician come out, which I paid a service call $100 - was told the ice maker was shot but that I had worse problems. That the compressor was covered with frost and there was as a bar on the back of refrigerator that controls air flow and temperatures that was completely rusted out. The food, fresh fruit & vegetables had been freezing for several weeks, I suspected there was a problem. So having A Home Warranty with Choice Home Warranty I decided to check my policy and noted that this was a covered expense.

    I have had five other policies with Choice with my three homes in Alabama, never had to file a but felt confident they were the best company out there. So I called and filed a claim, It was three days before a technician they found could come to our house. So on Friday my sister took off work to be at our home to meet with technician. He arrived on time and was very professional. He told my sister that the refrigerator had two areas that needed repair but it because of the age of refrigerator, parts were no longer available and he would notify Choice Home Warranty, someone would contact us. He received his $75.00.

    Two hours later I received an email telling me that another technician was being secured to give me a second opinion on my refrigerator or I could get someone myself, pay them and Choice would reimburse me with in 30 days. I called Choice and told them they would have to get someone as Two people, I had already paid for service calls, to the tune of $175.00! Had said it could not be repaired.

    So, received a message Sunday afternoon a technician would be at my house between 7-11:00 am Monday morning, never asked if this was convenient or a good time for me. So today a technician from Another company shows up at 11:30 am, didn’t call or text me, came in, pulled out refrigerator, cleaned a coil. Told my husband who took off work there was nothing wrong with refrigerator! So within minutes I got this from Choice home Warranty, "We have received the diagnosis for the recent claim you have submitted. 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. Thank you for being a valued customer of Choice Home Warranty.”

    My food is still freezing in bins, the temperature controls are set as high as possible and we are buying ice. Was not expecting a big reimbursement - always believed in this company! Have spent $500-$800 over 10 years with this company. Will not recommend them to another person and will not renew my policy with them Ever!

    I went online to explore options with home warranty and submitted my email address and telephone number. I was called by one of these generated leads. He did not ask me why I was looking at different warranty options. He did not ask me what issues I have the reasons for looking elsewhere. During the call I made it clear 3x that I was very happy with lowering my monthly bill and by signing up for a much lower monthly rate would help me out considerably. He continued to try to sell additional packages with an immediate payment of $1000. I was clearly not interested in that. He then tried to pitch another yearly plan of payments of $300 in 4 installments. I was again NOT interested in that.

    I feel that he really was NOT listening to me at all. I still want services and warranty through Choice, but I felt pressured for other plans that I wasn't interested in. This could've been very clear if he asked me these questions in the beginning of our conversation. I only received 1 email with the address on the policy that was incorrect. I had to call back this evening to have that adjusted. I wanted 2 separate emails with 2 separate policies showing 2 separate transactions. I have 2 properties. This was not done.

I also have several friends and relatives who look to me for feedback. They are looking for a home warranty policy and I will tell them to not use CHW. I will be checking out AHS.

    Leak under sink. Toilets not flushing right. The tech stated my problem was because of wear and tear. On the text to Choice it stated wear and tear. Choice denied my claim stating the tech told them my problem was because of calcium build up. I nor the 2nd plumber I call could show me this build up. The tech that was sent told me my problem was because of wear and tear which means it is old and has lost its flush power. This is the 2nd time I have had problems with a claim. l asked choice to send another tech to show me a calcium build up. They would not. I do not agree with choice. And is not satisfied.

    After contacting Choice Warranty last year and getting a quote, I questioned whether the hot water heater would be covered as it was original to the house built in 1991. I was told yes, fully covered. When it finally died and after paying a $60 service fee we were told that it was not covered under their normal wear provision. They tell you anything to get you to sign up but have an out for not paying for anything! Would definitely not recommend!

    Shorty story waiting 10 days for a heating element for my stove. I called a local company that I always do business with and they said they could have the part in 24 hrs and immediately have it installed. I have made 4 calls to the contractor that took my $65 and he said he has no idea when the part will be in. I called choice warranty 4 times and they agreed that is way too long. They offered me $140 which would have been the price they were going to pay for the contractor.

    I called back the local person I mentioned earlier and they want $165. I called back Choice Warranty and they said, "You pay the difference." I asked what about the $65 I already paid to the contractor, they said that’s my loss. So if I had used my reliable contractor total cost would have been $165. Now if I wanted to go that route I would have to pay over $200 for a job that with choice warranty should only have only cost me $65. I switched from Sears warranty to choice warranty and I am very sorry I did.

    Updated on 02/07/2020: On 11 Jan 2020 Choice Home Warranty was notified my heater stopped working and that I was running emergency heat (normal furnace mode). On the 12th They assigned C&D to come out. C&D Cancelled immediately stating they never accepted the bid because I am over 2 hours away. On the 13th Apex Mechanical was assigned and came out that same day. Apex determined the compressor failed internally. The voltage was checked. It was good. The system was checked for acid. None present. Technician stated the compressors usually last 13-15 years but there are ones that just fail early. The Apex Technician went back to his shop to call Choice Home Warranty and notify them of the findings.

    While the technician was on the phone with Choice Home Warranty explaining of the internal failure, he received a email stating the claim was denied. He wasn't even done talking to them. The Technician called me up and let me know the claim was denied and he didn't know why or even how they could deny it. I soon received an email stating the claim was denied because the compressor failed due to non-normal wear and tear. I called Choice Home Warranty to ask what non-normal wear and tear is and all they could say was the compressor failed before its normal life expectancy of 12 years. (it was just under 5 years old.) So I asked, "The manufacturer warranty was for 1 year and you wont cover it till it is 12 years old?" And all they could say was it failed before it was 12 years old so it failed due to non-normal wear and tear.

    I asked again what would be considered non-normal wear and tear and all that was said was it failed before it was 12 years old but I can appeal the findings. I took a few days before I wrote my appeal. I talked to the technician, did some research and found many internet pages (a lot on HVAC tech question and answer forums), a lot of questions about compressors failing before 10 years, before 5 years, even 1 year and found one where the brand new system (new construction) wasn't even 90 days old. I understand the ones under a year are manufactures warranty issues, but not everything over a year old has a warranty.

    The best warranty from a manufacturer is only 10 years on the compressor which is still under the 12 years Choice talks about. Most are just 5 years. So I did my appeal, sent it in with some hyperlinks to the sites that back up my claim of compressors can fail under normal conditions in under 12 years. Explained the technician stated there were no obvious signs of non-normal wear and tear, as in dents or damage to the outside unit and nothing close to the unit to cause it to run hot. He also identified there was no acid in the system so no pipes were brazed together without neutral nitrogen gas being ran through the system and where the technician they hired said the compressor just failed internally. I informed them that I have the system serviced 2 times a year as required by their contract but I had been doing that since I bought the house and that was before I bought the home warranty through Choice.

    I received an email from the claims manager on 20 Jan. I called her that afternoon and left a message, called her again on the 23rd and followed it up with a email. She called me up, said she "reviewed my claim" and said "since the compressor failed due to non-normal wear and tear the claim was denied". I asked what is non-normal wear and tear and she said it failed before it was 12 years old. I said, "No, that is a presumption. Since the compressor is hermetically sealed you are guess it based off your company's expectation that the average compressor will last 12 years. There was only a 1 year warranty on this compressor and if you do not cover a compressor till it is 12 years old there is 11 years I could pay for a home warranty that states it covers the compressor (with no caveat to the age of the compressor)."

    She put me on hold and said she was going to review my contract. I told her to contact Apex and talk to the technician to get clarification and she stated she would not do that. She came back and little later said the claim is denied and referenced paragraph A-2 of my contract which states the equipment will be repaired or replace at their cost if the equipment "becomes inoperative due to normal wear and tear" (picture included) but she could send me $200 to help out. I asked where it states in the contract that certain parts are only covered if they meet an estimated age requirement. She only stated it failed due to non-normal wear and tear.

    I had the Technician called Choice Home Warranty again to explain there were no open windings, no damage to the compressor or outside unit, no acid, no voltage issues, that the compressor just failed and that you don't know why it failed because you cant take it apart without ruining it anyway. The Choice representative that Apex talked to said he would take the information, send it up. It has been two weeks and no return calls or emails. I have attached the reference in where Choice denied the claim and also pictures of the contract covering the heater.

    Original Review: I have been waiting to get my water softener (an added expense to the contract) fixed for 2 months now. Just this week I had a plumber come out, he contacted Choice Home Warranty. Told them the softener being 14 years old is wore out, they called me and denied my claim saying the plumber said it was sediment buildup and offered me $150 to help pay for labor to install a new one. I turned it down saying I would call the plumber. Plumber told me he told them it was wore out and since I had a whole home filter sediment couldn’t get to the softener. I called Choice Home Warranty back, was put on hold so she could call the plumber. When she got back on line with me she stated the plumber said my home filter system failed and allowed sediment to get to the softener and again offered me $150. Denied it again. Contacted the plumber. He sent her an email to help clear it up.

    Now I get no answer from my calls or emails. Now, when the claims manager called me, asked what was going on as I was explaining to her she said “hold on for a second while I read the notes” then said, "Oh it’s denied because of sediment." That told me she didn’t review anything prior to calling me, she did not read my appeal letter and certainly did not listen to what the master plumber had to say.

    Updated on 02/29/2020: My previous negative review should be upgraded due to the Company's later response with an offer to settle; which I accepted. I realize there are people problems with online communications, so I snail-mailed the documentation to the Company's home address. They resolved the issue.

    Original Review: The contract will not pay any claim without prior authorization. They will not give authorization until they send a rep to inspect. The rep to inspect promises to come but does not. Your HVAC contractor gets the parts and you wish to have heat in the house. What to do?? Save the parts so they can be inspected. Contact the company and explain. They say they will only pay their "scheduled amount" and will send a code for the HVAC contractor to call them and verify the need for repair. They don't send a code. They deny the claim. I send all paperwork by mail. They deny the claim. I am a real estate broker in two states and will never recommend this company again.
