    I was researching and applying for a home warranty online when my phone rang and it was Choice Home Warranty and a gentleman by the name of Francis started informing me what I would be entitled to if I made the purchase through Choice. He was calm. He was professional. He listened when I asked questions. He provided me with all the answers in a timely fashion. He demonstrated he knew his job by the way he spoke to me and the answers he Supply to me. I was very impressed with Francis.

    I felt secure and safe purchasing from choice. He explained everything about what my payments would be, when and what I could expect and then gave me options to buy at a huge savings, supplied all the information that I could think of and more. He was an extremely professional young man, very knowledgeable in his field and gave me a sense of security and yes I purchased a Choice Home Warranty. If you want to feel safe all you have to do is talk with Francis at Choice Home Warranty and I recommend it highly.

    Air conditioner. It cost me almost $300.00 for them to service it and your cost was $191.00. This is suppose to be something you are responsible for. I was told you would only pay for one hour of service time and the tech told you it would take longer. I will not renew, make contract with your company when it expires. Unsatisfied customer.

    Called in my claim and was given a claim number which I have erased and it was a very smooth process from your agent and got a follow up call from Lightfoot a/c and was scheduled a time for him to come and next morning he called and said he had an opening for that day. Showed up in 30 minutes and heater unit diagnosed in 15-20 minutes and told me my blower motor was bad and replaced it. It worked ok for several hours then started blowing cool air. I called the technician the next morning and he was there about an hour and checked system. Had had found a bad circuit board and replaced it and heater works fine now.

    A great a/c company and very honest technician who was very knowledgeable. I was told by the a/c guy that comes twice a year or more that I needed a heat exchanger replace wich he said would be $2800.00 to replace and lightfoot's tech said the exchanger was ok and that it would be some other issue with the unit and he was right on the money and saved me that $2800. I had forgot I had this warranty until the first guy told me how much to replace the heat exchanger would be and my brain woke up and remembered the warranty, what I learned from this is the other a/c company did not know what there doing or they are padding their repairs with expensive repairs that really aren’t the issue. I will be using lightfoot not my bi annual checks on heater and cooling.

    While all employees we have dealt with are nice, no one can get our heating system fixed. We called in on November 4th because we had no heat. Choice sent a repairman out who could not fix our unit after 2 visits and told choice he did not want to come back. We had to wait for Choice to get a second repairman who could not fix the system. He wanted to replace the heater motor and choice said no. He was told to clean the motor first. My husband stood there as repairman was cleaning the motor and not one bit of dirt was in it.

    We just received an email telling us choice was not going to do anything for us because the motor was dirty and burnt out the motor. This is a straight out lie. We are beyond frustrated. No one cares we are without heat. We are already into this for $105.00 The people Choice choose are one man companies. They have no staff. We have to wait one to two days for someone to return. All Choice keeps doing is telling us, "Sorry for your inconvenience." We have done the escalation process and still no heat. FOURTEEN DAYS WITHOUT HEAT.

    I’ve been with Choice Home Warranty for about 5 years and have filed 4 claims, ALL have been denied. My dishwasher was denied saying the motor wasn’t covered. My refrigerator was denied saying normal wear and tear. They sent a guy that looked like he was on meth to repair my AC, he wanted me to pay him first and of course he didn’t come back so they sent another guy that submitted a request for repair, again they said it wasn’t covered. Now my hot water heater! The repair man said it was leaking and couldn’t be repaired, Choice once again denied it! I’ve paid for many years to continue to be denied. I would NEVER recommend this company. This company is terrible!

    I have had a contract for 18 months and had one claim (A/C) doing that time. Repair was performed promptly and to my satisfaction. I have now decided that I want to self insure and make my own decisions on when to replace the A/C and other appliances so I canceled my warranty expecting a pro-rated refund of one half my original 36 month policy. I was told by the sales rep in writing that I could cancel at any time and they would pro-rate back for the time I didn't use. When I canceled I found out my refund would be the pro-rated amount less the cost of my one repair plus $50. I believe this to be unfair and as a result cannot recommend this company.

    This company is a joke. I honestly don't know where to start. Signed up with them 3 plus years ago. The one time I attempted to use the program I was given the run around. I did my yearly maintenance. Was told it was dangerous to use and needed to be upgraded. When I called I was placed on hold for 20-40 minutes, after that when you finally speak with someone they are extremely rude. I explained the issues I was having and they basically talk over you to get you off the phone. They finally got me set up for service I was told that they would be coming the following day and I would be contacted. I was NEVER contacted and they NEVER showed up. We called to see why they didn't show up and it was because no one set up the appointment. Whoever I was on the phone with lied and never set it up. 3 Days later someone finally came and was the house for less then 5 mins.

    Looked at it and said he would call them and they will be calling me back. Another few days passed and no call no email nothing. After that my husband was extremely frustrated and called to see what was going on. Again he was placed on hold for over 40 Mins. Whenever we got someone on the phone it was the wrong department and again placed on hold. When we finally got someone on the phone she was so rude. Said the claim was denied because the tech saw rust. We then asked to speak to a manager. She Refused to get a manager on phone and threatened to hang up. We then hung up and called back, got a person who was willing to help, and they passed us along to the manager. He was even worse, he wouldn't give a last name, said he didn't have an email and also said he doesn't have a direct line or extension. What manager of any company doesn't have a direct line or email come on.

    He said there is nothing he could do. We were extremely disappointed with the whole thing, being a customer for over 3 years paying every month and this is the way you are treated when you finally make a claim. We followed up and they said the cost of the replacement would be $6000 and that they would give us $200 to cover the labor. That doesn't cover anything. They sale you on the fact that this will save you money for repairs. But when you finally use them they make you jump through hoops, and find basic everyday things that will of course happen to an appliance to deny a claim. I will be filing a complaint with my attorney general.

    This company is currently in a law suit with the state of Arizona for doing this to other people. They have also been sued numerous times from various states. They are a scam. I encourage people to do a quick google search or even a youtube search and you will see the million complaints as well as a great video of the slimy Owners (Victor Mandalawi & Victor Hakim), running from a news crew when they went to their main office looking for answers from all the complaints. Terrible, terrible company.

    I have paid premiums monthly since 2015 for coverage. This summer on July 6, 2019, I made my first claim for my refrigerator. It was freezing vegetables. Choice sent a Sears repairman SIX TIMES. He finally told Choice that he recommended they do a buyout. After the rep running back and forth to talk with someone, I was told that I had to have the ice maker fixed before they would consider any further actions. So I’ve now been without refrigeration OVER FOUR MONTHS. This review needs to remain on this site. We’ll see if Choice has ANY integrity at all!

    Below is the person they sent to my home after Choice couldn't get anyone in my area to respond to their customer repair search. JSO: has identified (Robert **, alias Boston **) after the 50-year-old Jacksonville man had to crawl out of a 2008 Mercedes ML350 SUV after he crashed into a two-story home. JSO said the man was intoxicated when he crashed his SUV. The incident happened 11/01/2019, early Friday morning at 1261 Rensselaer Ave in Avondale. JSO was already on the scene by the time he managed to get out of the vehicle, a police report said. ** had a "strong odor" of alcohol when questioned, JSO said. When asked about the crash, ** told police that he had been cut off, forcing him to make a hard left. That's when he crashed into the house, he said. As ** was being searched, JSO said they found a small bag of ** in his left-front shirt pocket.

    This person acted very strange when he arrived at my home, which led me to tell him to leave. He then stated he wanted the $60.00 deductible. I asked him several times if he could handle the needed electrical repair to which he would not respond. He then got on the phone to Choice, telling them I wouldn't pay him & handed me the phone. The Choice representative told me I had to pay him my deductible. When he arrived I explained to the rep what was going on. They did not care what I had to say. While I was trying to vent my feelings to the rep he started talking loudly over me at which time I had had enough of the ** & told him to leave, which he did not, so I hurried him out the door. He was yelling into his phone to the rep that I was acousting him as I shut the door behind him. He then said he was calling the police to which I replied 'fine'.

    The police arrived & told me the repairman wanted to place assault charges against me. I explained the entire confrontation to the police who told me I had every right to make him leave my home & that he was acting like a nut outside. They then all departed. I called Choice & asked them what the hell was going on & how could they send such a person to some ones home & provided them with all the above in writing & verbally. The rep offered no response & very indignant.

    I checked every available reference to service personnel my area & there was no listings whatsoever to this so called repairman! I cancelled my account with Choice immediately! The very next day they charged my bank with the current month's installment. I told my bank of the fiasco & they immediately reversed the charge. You can do much better than this company!

    I recently file a claim regarding my HVAC system. It appears the Zone Relay switch went bad. When I called in and spoke with a representative because I thought the problem was the clicking zone relay, she could not interpret the verbiage regarding the exclusion using the word "add-on". The service technician called CHW for repair authorization, my claim was denied because my home was built with zoned HVAC. "Please refer to your terms and conditions section D number 5 “Excluded”; CHW is not responsible for add-ons for zoned systems." The claim representative contended that it was an add-on feature that was not required for the furnace to function, yet my furnace was not working.

    I was not given an HVAC option when the house was being constructed so how is it an add-on? As I expressed to the claims agent, I would have never purchased a warranty that did not cover items in my house, and I was not presented the exclusions for review until I paid for the warranty. The best offer I received from CHW was one month free warranty coverage at the conclusion of my term. I'm glad I requested my usual HVAC person to do the work, because he worked with me on the repair cost. Please request to review the exclusions before purchasing a warranty from CHW or any company. Make certain you have total understanding of any exclusions so you are not literally left out in the cold by the warranty company like I was!

    Don't be fooled into signing up for coverage. We had only one claim during our coverage for replacement of a hot water heater. Of course they denied it because they do not cover problems with any type of tank!! Well how would they ever cover a hot water heater? There are clauses in their contract that exclude them from covering any type of problem. You will never get coverage for any appliance or equipment! If there is any rust they won't cover it; if you can't prove that you did all types of maintenance, they won't cover it,; If it involves a tan or a fan or a ???? etc they won't cover it!!

Here it is the next day and l still have not received my call back. I'm disappointed in the way l was lied to about the co pays. Their customer service is horrible, it seems they don't value the customer. I've been a customer with Choice Warranty for 3 years. And every year the service get worse than the year before. When this contract is done l will be taking my services elsewhere. I do not recommend that anyone get a home warranty with them. I wish there was a way l could get a refund from the remainder of my contract.

Now my family has been without hot water for 5, going on 6 days. I still have not heard of CHW will allow him to work on our hot water heater after I contacted them.

    There are too many fine points in the contract that if you don't read in detail to begin with, will catch you by surprise. They don't cover ice makers that come with the fridge, which is unacceptable to me. When it comes to replacing an appliance, they are quick about the process but they don't cover something similar but similar functionality, so even if you have a high end appliance, they only try to get you something that does the same thing, even though you can't put a low end appliance in your house when everything else is higher end and it won't match.

    I called to get service on one of our air-conditioner units on a Sunday. The tech came on Tuesday and advised that the blower unit and a board had burned out. The tech submitted the claim to Choice for approval. The estimated cost was about $1200.00. Later on that Tuesday, the Tech called me back to advise that the claim had been denied. Per the Tech his conversation with Choice went something like this.

    "Choice question the total cost to make the repair and asked the Tech if a power surge could have caused this damage. The Tech advise that it is possible, but that it did not appear that this was the issue. Choice decided that it was a power surge, even though there was no power outage nor any storms that could have caused a power surge=, nor was their any other appliances damaged. Choice then assigned this claim to one of their adviser for me to contact to. When I contacted the adviser his only response was the damage was caused by a power surge, which nullifies the claim. I asked what proof, and he offered none. The Choice agent then offered me a $100 goodwill payment." I then asked the Tech if he told Choice that the damage was due to a power surge and he stated "That the Choice agent brought up the power surge issue and he did not".

    The Tech then advised me that he does a lot of work for Choice and if the cost of the repair is over $500 they will pretty much come up with an excuse to not pay the claim. I then had another air condition company come and inspect the broken air conditioner unit, they also advised that the blower unit and board had burned out. I asked if this was caused by a power surge and they advised that in their opinion that it was not caused by a power surge, but just was worn out.

When he did show up he said another piece was broken. After several phones to him he never responded. I finally called your office and requested another service company. The service man was very nice. He said that it needed additional pieces besides the ice maker board. You contacted me and said it cost too much to fix. You said youd replace my refrigerator. Then you tell me you're going to give me 600 dollars for a refrigerator that would cost me 2500 dollars. When your manager called me Lathasa she said that your firm. Was going to give me 600 dollars that i accepted and the repairs are on me.

    I dont think. This was handled right. I feel whatever was needed should be on your firm as rob from stay cool I feel was incompetent. And several months to someone resolve this. You said youd replace my refrigerator. 600 dollars is not replacement money for even a basic refrigerator. Since your firm knew this was an upgraded expensive 2 door french style with 2 additional pull out draws.

    Fraud. You advertise you will cover every broken product which is not a true statement due to experience. The claim lady said if they could find rust on anything the policy wouldn't cover it. Even an outside compressor if it had rust on the outside steel dome you wouldn't cover it. This is just another example of you getting out of paying a claim. I've had this forty two month policy for nearly a year and it makes me very afraid to even file a claim under these guidelines.

    We have had Choice Home Warranty - Contract Number: ** since 04/21/2019 (paid in full when ordered) and have never had an occasion to use it until our AC unit stop properly operate on October 28, 2019. The temperature in house was +85F. I called CHW, they dispatched technician Miguel from A&J appliances on October 29, 2019 who was on time and very professional.

    Miguel’s diagnosis of the repair was coolant loss due to leakage. “It has been determined that the system is excessively low on refrigerant and unable to cool the home properly. Leaks in refrigeration systems are caused by rust and/or corrosion at one of the coils and these types of failures would not be covered under the policy for repair.”

    In policy copy I have, I did not find that such repair excluded from coverage. At that moment I paid A&J $219.00 fee for visit and leak test (excluded from coverage) to find actual problem and continue with repair. A&J technician determine the leak from AC compressor connections to the coil. In A&J determination compressor must be replaced.

    We arrange with A&J that they will inform CHW about the problem and set up new appointment for October 30, 2019 from 8:00 to 12:00. Because we did not received from CHW any response at this moment I paid A&J 50% of compressor replacement cost - $488.00. Until now Choice never called back to approve the repair.

    On October 30, 2019 A&J fix my AC unit and collected balance payment of $488.00 for new compressor installation. The total repair cost to me was $1,195.00, which CHW did not cover; in addition, I paid to CHW for annual coverage more than $450.00. In my opinion, CHW company's business practices are a complete fraud. Lot of promises when you buy the policy and zero help when you have real problem on hand. The idea to buy the policy was mistake. Do not waste your money on them. I would save money by contacting A&J direct, without any CHW.

    We have been Choice customers over 2 years. This year, the service and response on our claims was awful. Starting with a refrigerator that took 3 weeks to repair, and ending with a possible $5500 out of pocket fiasco when we made a claim on the AC that stopped working (8-21-19). Choice sent over a technician (AirKnights) promptly, and they diagnosed that the furnace blower motor was not working, and without it the AC couldn't work. But they also red tagged the furnace as unsafe due to a cracked heat exchanger.

    We waited for Choice to process the claim, and they accepted the blower motor at a cost of $275, which they said could be put towards a new furnace which they were NOT covering. We appealed the decision and for weeks were passed around to various Choice personel who were unresponsive, did not understand Choice's own policies or the workings of either the AC or furnace. They settled on "rust or corrosion" as the reason for the denial, and we asked how they determined that. They kept referring back to the technician (AirKnights) who originally came out to diagnose the claim.

    Airknights has said very clearly that they did not make the diagnosis...They determined the crack was due to normal wear and tear, and confirmed that in writing to both customers and Choice. After 3 weeks of escalating the claim, we got bids from another contractor and AirKnights for furnace replacement. Both came in around $4k, and it was so hot and taking so long to get on their schedules that we chose to move forward with Airknights to install the new furnace (because Choice also indicated if we worked within their network we'd be entitled to their "discounted" rates).

    It was 9-20-19 when the furnace was finally installed, and at the end of that very hot Friday afternoon, the AC still did not work. Airknights made a further diagnosis that the AC evaporative coil was leaking, and needed to be repaired in order for both the AC to work (and to protect the new furnace). Again, we spent hours on the phone with Airknights, saying we still were not satisfied with the denial on the furnace and now the new AC coil claim needed to be addressed because we had been without AC for a month! They said they had to close out the old claim to start the new one, but gave us the authorization number for Airknights to call so the AC evaporative coil could be covered.

    Both Airknights and my sister spent hours trying to get through to the authorization line, and she became very stressed because she thought the technician might die of a heat stroke during the ordeal. The only way to cool off was to take cold showers. After much discussion with technician and the owner or Airknights, it was decided they would proceed with replacing the evaporative coil and submit pictures to Choice just as soon as they opened again (this was late on Friday).

    Even after the weekend, not all went smoothly as the fan motor was not connected properly and there was a smell of gas. Airknights did come back to address those issues, and we paid $4076 for the furnace install... Still hoping Choice would accept their covered diagnosis of normal wear/tear and age. After another week went by, and we quizzed Airknights as to whether Choice had responded with the authorization on the evaporative coil, they said most likely Choice would call us directly.

    They did not, but when my sister decided to go online to update the claim with more information, she read that they had denied the AC evaporative claim a week earlier due to "Rust and Corrosion". Again, we asked the technician if that was their diagnosis, and they said NO! With regard to the furnace, the cracked heat exchanger was not rust or corrosion which causes small holes...It was a CRACK! And they did not diagnose either rust or corrosion with the evaporative coil...They provided pictures on both claims where no rust or corrosion was present.

    We immediately appealed the second denial, and were assigned to a case manager. Airknights wants to be paid for the evaporative coil, and we want the maximum policy amount of $1500 for both the AC and the furnace. These claim managers are never available to talk...You always get a recording and then they say they'll call you back in the order received. I am currently working with Choice case manager Jackie ** and she agreed to keep both cases open while she reached out to AirKnights to confirm their written diagnosis, and to figure out if we received the discount mentioned in Choice's first response about furnace replacement. We could be looking at charges upward of $5500, and Chase only sent a check for $275, which doesn't seem to be in good faith given that both furnace and AC are covered up to $1500 each for issues related to normal wear and tear.

    The sad thing is, I wanted to give more business to Choice (since our first year was a much better experience, and the $45 service call is the lowest I'd seen). If they had done the right thing on both claims, and not taken so long to get unintelligable responses, we would still be good customers. But now Airknights has me questioning their ethics and has mentioned they are the most difficult home warranty company to work with. Please reach out to us-Jody and Sue

    Been with CHW for years I realize recently they have been in the news here in Arizona and not a great story. I have yet to have troubles. Will continue to re-up unless something bad happens. Customer service is still very good.

    Neil was patient, friendly, and helpful. Only problem is he told me I would receive the policy/contract via email and i have yet to receive the copy to review to verify my coverage. The total cost for the warranty was reasonable but it would have been better if you offered a payment schedule.

    Todd arrived an hour later than scheduled. Expressed to him an I30 code on dishwasher that he witnessed. He took some pictures inside and of the model and ID number noting manufacture date. Didn't have any testing type devices to diagnose the issue and about 15 minutes later said he's reporting dishwasher as un-repairable. Don't understand this. Didn't receive any documentation except he said the latch could be an issue. The latch was Not and Never has been an issue. Puzzled why a parts & labor estimate wasn't given. Waiting for information from Choice apparently for purchase a new one when dishwashers last 8-10 years, cost $700 and ours is not yet 3 years old. Todd a nice guy though should have dig deeper to consider a repair instead of a check from Choice.

    Fine Print in contract states 1500 cap. This will not buy a new air conditioner. Company considers any leak on an air conditioner is due to rust, therefore it is not covered. You are still charged for a technician to come out, even if they refuse to fix it. Technician can take weeks to send information to Choice, therefore your unit is not fixed for weeks. The lines are also not 24/7 as stated.

    This company works hard to deny your claims. They denied a simple refrigerator repair yet charged me $85 for the service call. They denied a plumbing repair but once again, charged me the $85 service call, which they actually submitted for me because they said that I submitted it incorrectly and in order to get them to pay for the camera it had to be set up a different way so they were taking care of that in order for the claim to be approved. They are a lot of work and you will spend an immense time on the phone with them so be prepared. It will only end in denial and frustration.

    I'm not happy with the vendor {King & Sons}. They were trying to cover their **. They came out on 10/23/19 to work on the disposal and said they repaired it. We did not have a need to use the disposal for at least a week or so. When we did it started smoking and burned up. At my request I ask for the same vendor to return not wanting to pay the $65 fee again. This time they replaced the unit and were leaving the tech came back after going to his truck to drive off and said I need $50 permit fee. Being new to the area and new to {Choice Warranty} I paid it.

    With that being said I check with other vendors and their permit fees are $15. The permit actually cost $8 check with the city of Lincoln. Bottom line King and sons were pissed because I would not pay a additional $65 for something they should done the first time they came out. Choice did everything I could ask for so I'm not holding you guys responsible for them but I thought you should know how your vendors treat your customers.

    There was an issue with my refrigerator. Sent first technician. He found what’s wrong and reported the warranty company. They dispatch another technician, who is rude and has no clue. Finally I received an email saying they do not want to do nothing and wanted me to write a good review. Choice is not a good choice.

    This is the first time I have used my warranty. So far, I am very impressed. Though it was tedious dealing with Sears- They made 3 appointments for me-(!) when I only needed one, had the wrong make & model of my oven in their records from 10 yrs ago and could not seem to correct that information, I felt that CHW had my back the entire time. I have already told several friends about CHW. This is one household expenditure that will surely pay off.

    We have had Choice home warranty for several years. We have not filed any claims, because the two times in the past that we've called for service, our claims have been denied. These weren't large items, and we wanted to be covered in the case of a major system or appliance, so we kept the coverage and renewed again a few months ago. We are long time home owners and real estate professionals. We have referred many clients to home warranty companies in the past. However, we have been completely screwed over and scammed by Choice Home Warranty. We finally had a real issue arise with our home and needed to use our warranty that we have been paying on for years.

    After an entire day trying to get a plumber assigned to our claim, we had to finally call around and find our own plumber to come and give us an estimate. Our water heater broke and was leaking water all over the attic and we had no hot water. It needed immediate attention. The licensed plumber said it failed due to age which should definitely be covered. He called Choice Authorization department and explained to them that the unit failed due to age and it needed to be replaced. He sent them the bid. They denied it. They said it's not covered because there was the possibility of rust contributing to the failure.

    They honestly just made up whatever they wanted to include to have a reason to deny our claim. We have paid thousands of dollars in premiums to them for a "total protection plan" and now we are just stuck with a very expensive replacement of a water heater that they will not cover. We have been robbed and scammed and can not say enough bad things about this company.

    So I have had this company for a year now and our gas furnace stopped working so we filed a claim. Well the tech came ou to fix it and said it needed to be replaced. The company said they denied the claim due to the reason the furnace needs to be replaced is a piece has rust in it. Well the the part that cracked of course that is one of the pieces that they do not cover under their warranty! Well after looking at the fine print of this warranty there is A LOT they don’t cover in The furnace so I feel like they really won’t replace the furnace no matter what happens to it really! So I have canceled my account with this company and will no longer do business with them as I feel that I just dumped money into a company that will find any loophole they can in order to not replace bigger ticket items.
