    Very bad service, I put Claim and the technician was here at next day, obviously the fee is to pay their services. But when it has to be fix, they say NO, I told them about the number 4 in the contract. Repair or replace. I needed 18 days to speak with the specialist manager. Is a big scam, they receive your money every month, but when they have to fix, they say, "The clause b of section x says we can't fix it". Don't be fooled. They put good grades, but not the ones that don't suit them.

    I have a LG WASHING MACHINE wo was not working. I called the company and told them the problem. They were very nice. My problem is with the Technician, he was at my house 3 weeks ago, looked at it and said he needed to order the part. It be 2 weeks he came back, he ordered the wrong part. I thought he said he be back in 2 days so I called my husband to ask if he the Tech was there, he called and said he could not get the part. It would be another 4 weeks, I was really upset. 7 to 8 weeks no Washing machine so I called Choice warranty thinking I would find a solution, no there was nothing they could do, I even ask to speak to a supervisor. It did not change a thing. I will never buy Choice warranty again nor will I recommend them. I had other Warranty Company and they went this extra mile to help the customer to find a solution.

    Choice Home Warranty is a complete scam. They don't operate as advertised. I purchased a home warranty for peace of mind when my husband and I first bought our house. A few months in, our water heater started leaking. I called CHW, they assigned a plumbing company, then the the plumbing company started calling me repeatedly demanding a credit card payment before anyone had even been out to our house, and when I wasn't receiving those calls the company was calling to let me know the technician was running late.

    I called CHW multiple times to reassign the claim, but 4 of the 5 times they assigned the same company that had been harassing me. The one time they assigned someone else, the contractor backed out because CHW wouldn't tell him how they were going to pay him. Choice Home Warranty is a scam. Their service reps are incompetent and the management is shady. I canceled my policy because our experience was so bad. A very expensive lesson learned. But save yourself the trouble. There are plenty of other home warranty companies that actually do what they advertise.

    Apparently, CHW has thousands of loopholes to not honor home repairs. I could go into numerous issues, but the main one was a failure to cover a septic cleaning. I paid extra each year for an annual septic pumping. The previous year it took them 4 months trying to figure out how to get it pumped. They paid me in an effort to get me to renew. I then thought I would be able to trust them to reimburse me the next year. I had not trusted them to do that at first nor did the companies. I had been told the next year to have a technician call them when they arrived to pump my septic.

    I scheduled my pumping for a Saturday. When the tech arrived, we called CHW. (The closest place was an hour away--due to me living in the mountains.) We called and were told they couldn't do it that day because no one was there to do the claim. I said, he is here and drove an hour from an hour away. I even shared it was a hundred dollars less than the prior year. They said sorry to have him come back during the week and call again. Of course, I could not get charged and told them I had to let him pump, but to put down that we did follow procedure and called in as directed. The pumping is something that I am entitled to with the septic add on. They turned around and denied my claim since I let the technician pump the tank. I told them that I did exactly as told, and I was never told that it could not be done on a weekend.

    We have done other calls on the weekend. Trust me, you need a lawyer to go through their loopholes. Their goal is not to pay and not take care of their customers. Save your money. I also had a call about a roof leak because I was given free roof coverage the year before to renew with them. The lady couldn't find it, but she asks me to find the email. I found it and let her know I had it. Easier to deal with it myself than them. I should have known they were idiots after the first year of not being able to figure out my pumping. I chalked that up to none of the businesses accepting their money. BUYER BEWARE with CHW.

    We purchased an older home with an older AC Unit. We knew that the unit wasn't going to last forever and we live on a budget so we decided to purchase a Choice Home Warranty. This unit has been tripping the circuit breaker for several years and each time we called Choice Home Warranty to open up a claim. Well, the compressor finally went out and Choice Home Warranty has decided not to cover it because they said based on the pictures we didn't do our maintenance. The compressor is a solid unit within the outside unit and the issue is within the compressor itself. It has nothing to do with dirt. The AC unit is 19 years old!! Save your money!! Don't buy one from these people. They also will not approve anything over the weekend!!!

    You purchase 13 months. That’s what you're paying for but you cannot use the warranty till after 1 month. They profit 1 month. Another if you decide to purchase your unit goes out. They send a tech out. If your unit looks dirty inside they will deny the claim regardless. Because in small print states you need to keep your maintenance up. Thirdly. Ask how they get their techs. I did. They have a company apply by application. There’s a 30 day grace period before they're hireable. That’s it.

    Here was my problem. Tech was sent out. I reside in AZ. It was 108 the day the tech came out. He stated I had no Freon? Insurance denied claim. I called around. Got second opinion. There was a leak the tech didn’t find. Home warranty didn’t honor that claim because company wasn’t contracted. It pissed me off because the other tech didn’t find the issue. To find out the company home warranty sent me had a lot of complaints. Home warranty also had 6 claims against this yr alone. Read the small print. Do your research.

    Choice Home Warranty was the biggest mistake I made. A few of my family members chose Home Sheild for their home protection. Choice was cheaper and they seemed to cover more so I went with Choice thinking I was getting a better deal. Man was I wrong. When each of my family members filed a claim with Home Shield, their claim was approved and approved quickly. Their problems were fixed immediately as well. I file a claim with Choice and my claim is immediately denied. Preexisting conditions they explained.

    I don't live in a new house. Everything in my house is going to have some preexisting condition. They were always going to deny any claim I filed due to preexisting conditions. This company is a fraud. I gave them a 1 star because they are wonderful while trying to get you to purchase a policy. But once you give them your money, the customer service is terrible. Please don't trust this company. They frauds and they are one huge headache. Not to mention they will not give you a full refund of what you pay them.

    This company is very good for getting covered appliances repaired but they do have one bad coverage issue. Here's my story: Our 5 year old Kenmore washer broke and CHW dispatched a service repair man to fix it. He assessed the issue and CHW decided it was not worth repairing and that they would replace the machine. Here is where I feel CHW has failed in a big way.

    Our Kenmore Elite washer sells for $799 but CHW only offered us $349 to replace it. Their excuse was that they do not promise to replace the washer with an identical unit and they only offer an amount of money based on their discounted price for a unit with similar features. Unfortunately we cannot find anything with similar features anywhere near $349 and, although CHW tells you what their discounted cost is, they do not have anything in place to assist customers in finding anything near their discounted price.

    After spending time discussing our concern, CHW finally agreed to send a check for $500 which still leaves us with over $400 out of pocket expense not to mention taxes, delivery and the $45 service charge we already paid. That being said, CHW is great for getting repairs handled quickly, just be aware their Replacement policy is not what most customers expect when they purchase a Choice Home Warranty policy.

    I researched several home warranty companies and yours was a top rated one. I called to get rates, and don't recall the name of the man I spoke to. He was informative and I appreciated him telling me about the three and five year discount programs. Then he really started to pressure me, and continued to do so even after I told him I didn't have the money to buy the five year plan, while it was a good deal. It got to the point where he kept pushing and it got upsetting. I am only working part time and living on a small pension, which I told him but he kept pressing for the five year plan. My advise is to LISTEN to who the sales guy is talking to and RESPECT when told it isn't affordable, instead of keep pushing! This upset me a lot! And this is the reason for four stars instead of five. Otherwise, I am happy to get the coverage for the price I paid.

    I had an issue in 5+ year old Samsung Frech door refrigerator. Choice Home Warranty sent Samsung unauthorized technician from KEA Services. He replaced vent fan in the first visit but refrigerator did not work. In the second visit he heard the noise and said that compressor is not working and it is covered by manufacturer. Choice Home Warranty said that, "We do not cover the manufacture warranty covered part. You need to talk to Samsung and get it repair from Samsung. We will pay labor cost."

    I went with Samsung to repair Compressor. Samsung guy said, "Refrigerator compressor seal opened so we do not work on seal opened refrigerator." I reached Choice Home warranty on this and they said that, "You need to talk to the technician. We can't do anything on this." The cost of my refrigerator in 2013 was $2500. Finally, the Choice Home Warranty made my refrigerator value to $0. The CHOICE HOME WARRANTY is a SCAMMER. He plays a lot with terms and conditions and try not to pay anything.

The representative I spoke with was not friendly at all, and finally offered me $600.00 telling me that, that was the most they would pay, and that they could buy a comparable refrigerator for that price, but would not tell me where.

    Initial Contact and Sign Up. The rep was too persistent with his upsells after signing me up for the total package. He kept repeating it did not benefit him but me. Not sure why he kept emphasizing that. Let the product sell itself. He quickly ended the call when he saw I would not agree to upgrading to a senior package. I'm not yet 55. He said he did not know why I would want to pay for a $700 package when I could have one cheaper if I would only agree to an annual renewal. I believe first time customers should have the opportunity to utilize your services then decide if they want to move forward with annual enrollments.

    I had one final question and while asking it, the sales rep disconnected the line. He had my credit card number so I guess he thought there was no need to talk further. All agents should ask if there is anything else they can do before abruptly ending the call. I called back the next day to remove the Limited Roof Leak because I have a flat asphalt roof on the house. I specifically told the first rep I spoke to when inquiring about the online ad that I had a flat roof and he said it would be covered. Glad I read the fine print. The Resolution Manager quickly removed that coverage and said I would see the refund to my account in 15 days.

    Incidentally, I also got a call on my cell phone the following day from CHW to discuss installing a new home security system. The upsells never stop so be prepared. I do like that everything is clearly spelled out in the pdf benefits package sent via email once the enrollment is complete. Hate that not only are the sensors not covered on the garage but the rollers/springs are not covered either. CHW allows a 30 day review and cancellation. Will see how it all works out during the next 13 months. Other reviews have commented on how prompt they are when filing a claim. Having a home warranty does give me peace of mind.

    I’m currently fighting with them concerning a $500 fee they want to charge me, to fix the AC, on top of the $1200 they charged me upfront when I signed up with them. The agent who sold me the policy didn’t mention anything to me about inclusions and exclusions. All what he told me, to convince me to purchase the policy, that if it’s something they can’t fix, they’ll replace for no extra charge than the $85 service call. Now they are telling me that whatever part that has to replaced is not covered. Not happy at all and will not renew my contract next year with them.

    After a positive interaction with Choice Home Warranty, Kevin increased their star rating on Nov. 5, 2019.

    Updated review: Nov. 5, 2019

    The company reached out to us and offered me the number that at the very least I needed to get in order to get something similar to what we had. It still required money out of my pocket to get the exact same thing. 3 stars is probably generous considering it took me 3 separate phone calls that were all lengthy. Only after I submitted this review did I get a response with someone willing to assist me. The one bright spot is that it took less than 24 hours (although I did reply with a private message and they never responded). I understand they are trying to make money but to be so reactive and not customer centric is a pretty terrible formula for a company. I'm still not sure I would recommend this company. If one has to put up a real fight every time something happens when they purchased protection, it really doesn't seem worth it. Be better than me and do a little more research into the companies that provide home warranties.

    Original Review: Oct. 30, 2019

    We are not being given an honest number on what it will take to replace our convection oven. We were told the amount would be "based on the national average price of a Range with similar features, capacity and efficiency". Then, we were given the number $299. This isn't a number that could replace the most basic oven. We called back twice and expressed our concern because it is not possible to replace a convection oven at this amount. They increased the amount by 150 but I'm still frustrated because that doesn't line up with the earlier statement. "National average of a range with similar features, capacity, and efficiency" would easily put this number in the mid 600s and that's not the average that's the lowest.

    Despite this fact I'm concerned that if something more costly goes wrong I'm going to be left with a majority of the responsibility to replace. What is the point of going with a warranty plan if it cannot at its most basic level replace the unit I had prior? This company is not being intellectually honest with its customers and looking for any way to get out of the service they claim to offer. I've now been without a working oven for over 3 weeks and I've been told that it will take 72 hours to escalate to a director that is going "tell me the same thing". I don't think I'm being unreasonable to expect that this be handled in a more professional manner with the slightest bit of integrity.

    I paid $698 for my warranty only to find that every time I needed service; there were no service people in my area or they were the worst of the worst. I ended up getting my own person nearly every repair and then the battle to get reimbursed began. Their approval line seems to be answered occasionally and I had more than three contractors say they couldn’t sit longer than 20 minutes for approval. So that means your claim is denied. Then I have to jump up and down screaming to get the warranty coverage I paid for.

    One of their genius contractors showed up and fixed the wrong item. Another never showed at all. A third quoted almost $2000.00 to fix a pool pump my contractor fixed for $300. Today was the last straw. Pool heat pump goes out. Our guy quotes $959 to fix. They, of course had no technicians available so we go the reimbursement route yet again. This time I find out their ambiguous wording says heat pumps aren’t covered, but every other type of pool heater is. I’m told this is to keep costs low. Keeping costs low would be nice; getting contractors who show up, bring their own tools, fix the correct items and coverage on what you expect would also be nice.

    Started on 09/29/2019. After AC Tech came out on 09/30/2019 CHW decided to refuse warranty. Said it would not be covered because of corrosion on the Evaporative coil & leakage. 10/01/2019 AC tech returned to do leak test & refill Refrigerate at my expense. "No Leaks Found"! He added 4-1/2 lbs. of refrigerate & said it was fixed, $390.99.

    (10/12/2019): Update: Air Conditioning is still not fixed, running water into garage for a week. We had a couple of cool days when Air Conditioning wasn't running & pan overflow into garage quit running water. However when AC started back up overflow pan started running water into garage again (5-10 gal every 24 hours. CHW (Glendalys ** & BBB) confirmed check for $435.99 is being paid back to me for money spent. Repair is still not Complete & should be per CHW (Glendalys ** & BBB). CHW advertisement using George Foreman states "you will never have to pay for another home repair again" with CHW!

    Update on 10/14/2019. I am adding more information as of phone call on October 14 @ 3:08pm cst. Glendalys ** called to say she never sent the refund for $435.99 on 10/04/2019, but offered a $700.00 check & I would be responsible for my own repairs. Knowing Leak Test showed no leaks, but Glendalys ** said Air Force Cooling confirmed 3 times that there was a leak. Although their receipt to me says "no leaks found". She went on to say it was leaking at corrosion on the Evaporator Coil. I did ask that they send another AC company for a 2nd opinion, they refused! So I called & talked to another AC Tech with over 30 years experience. This is what he said: "ALL Evaporator Relay Coils have corrosion. If you have a leak in yours CHW has to fix it per The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) law."

    However CHW can't fix it because the part is no longer available for a unit using R-22 refrigerate (cost anywhere from $400.00 to $600.00 for part if you found one). Again per The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) CHW would have to replace the Central air unit (this is why I have a warranty company). So CHW is trying to get out of paying to fix the unit, because of it using R-22 Refrigerate & they need to replace the entire central air unit. New Central air unit $8,000.00-$10,000.00. I hope this helps you understand more fully what I am going through. I think because I'm a senior citizen I feel CHW has been taking advantage of me. This is the 1st repair I called CHW since buying a 5 year VIP plan, paid in full upfront in June. I've had other Home Warranties & never this problem.

    Update 10/9/2019: 1st CHW said "we don't cover leak test" (suggested by tech) & refused to cover repair. 2nd CHW said there was rust/corrosion found on the evaporator coil & said there must be a leak there. Sadly enough that is not covered because of rust/corrosion (assuming there was a leak there). Although leak test showed no leaks on invoice, but techs claims different. Where is the proof? 3rd CHW refused to cover or finish repair (still having trouble with unit). I ask for to "get a 2nd opinion", but CHW said no. I now do not trust Air Force Cooling to touch my unit, because they can't tell me or CHW the same story. Seems like CHW doesn't cover AC units if the sun is shining.

    CHW said they sent a check on 10/04/2019 to pay me back for out of pocket, but never did. 10/14/2019 CHW said they sent a $700.00 check for expenses, but never did. I still would like repair finished, with guarantee & paid back for out of pocket $435.99. Also would like a full refund on 5 year warranty $2,100.00 & cancel policy, since this is my 1st claim. CHW has covered nothing & yet wants to prorate a refund from June, including deducting out of the refund what I already paid as if they paid it!

    I have Limited Roof Leak coverage on my Choice Home Warranty Policy. Yet they refused to fix two leaks at the base of the two valleys on the roof. I got it down to just getting the leak patched up instead of redoing the valleys which is the right way to do it. They asked the technician if the patches were a full or partial roof replacement. He said "partial" as it was obvious we were not replacing the entire roof. They came back and told me that it was denied because of the "partial" word used by the technician. Even replacing a few shingles is "partial" in my books. So wonder what their definition is of the word and what exactly will they cover. Feel so betrayed by this company.

    I would definitely be more cautious on those ratings with 5 Stars as they were probably written by people for Choice. I think I must have done one too. They pay for a small repair and then entice you by saying they will give you a couple of months of coverage for free or a "free" service call if you could write a good review for them. I know I was approached by them in a similar fashion. So please do your homework and look before you leap. They were bold enough to tell me that "all" home warranty companies have complaints against them but yet they are still in business!! That itself proves how they are out to get innocent people!!

    This company is horrible. We paid for the additional coverage of our well pump which went bad. They sent out a guy who wanted to replace everything. Then Choice denied our claim. We have been w/o water in our house for 4 days trying to fix the issue. We have appealed and have now had to wait an additional 24 hours for a supervisor. Save your money and use a different home warranty company. This one is not as good as they claim. They take your money and fail you when you call them for assistance.

    On Thursday, October 24, I received a call from Choice Warranty and was transferred to, and spoke with, Brittany in Sales. During our conversation, I enrolled in "Total Coverage" (discounted to $480 @ $65 per service call). Terms were to be for 13-months coverage (1-month free) and include the limited roof repair coverage as an added incentive (for which Brittany requested & received approval from her supervisor). Brittany assured that, within a few minutes after the call, I would receive two e-mails. One detailing the specifics and terms of the "Total Coverage" I procured, and another confirming the addition of limited roof coverage. I did receive an e-mail detailing Total Coverage; however, the policy states that limited roof repair is optional at additional cost. That's is not what I was sold. Please provide me confirmation that my coverage includes limited roof repair as stated to me by Brittany. Thank you..

    I felt fairly confident about my choice today choosing Choice Home Warranty until I reviewed the policy after paying in advance one month. I currently have Old Republic and have been mostly satisfied with their service, but at what I feel is a premium monthly rate. (No pun intended!) The salesperson for Choice Home Warranty who called me is very good at what he does. And that is to sell. He could've sold ice to Eskimos. However upon review the things he didn't disclose is the limitations Choice puts on their repair or replace items.

    For example, the $1500 repair or replace limit placed on an air conditioning and/or heating unit when replacing could be upwards of $6000+. Yes the monthly premiums are way low. Yes the service fee is a lot lower, but so is the service maximums. And for that reason I am calling to cancel this warranty. Thank you for your time and consideration. Let's hope the sales person didn't forget to disclose properly or fibbed on whether the premium I paid today is refundable!

HOWEVER, I received a determination on claim ** saying Choice would not pay because it was a “maintenance” issue. The drain in the kitchen sink was leaking around the outside rim. The plumber had to loosen it and put in some plumbers putty to stop the water from leaking under the sink. How could I have prevented the plumbers putty from wearing away under normal use. A homeowner should not be expected to remove a sink drain and apply putty. That is why I have Choice Home Warranty.

On 7/2/19 I called CHW & asked for another service provider. No one available but would hear from someone within 4-24 hours.

CHW told me they would give me $349 to replace my gas range with self cleaning oven. After checking with suppliers, I found that the least expensive comp. would cost $711.00 PLUS $154 to hook up and $20.00 to remove old range.

    We finally accepted $399.00 from CHW & chalked it up to experience. READ THE DETAILS OF CONTRACT: they do not have to replace with like kind should parts not be available any longer.

CHW techs said the ac works fine and would fill the Freon. We had four CHW techs out and the fifth was a no show.

    Short story choice said we could get reimbursed but didn’t tell us the process. We bought the new ac turned it into choice which said we didn’t follow their process so we would not get reimbursed. Later said we didn’t get reimbursed due to the ac leaking which corroded the coils therefore doesn’t fall under “wear and tear”. Second issue toilet leaking, external tech followed CHW process to get us reimbursed BUT the lack of communication was Choice said “yes, we will reimburse you” but didn’t say only at their pricing. The cost was $298 and Choice emailed us letting us know they will reimbursement us $75. When I called to let them know they didn’t say anything to us about the price difference over the phone.

    Last Sunday, our water alarm sounded that we have a leak. Discovered leak coming from a 3" drain line to bronze elbow. Called Choice warranty and they sent out a plumber within the next two days. In the meantime slowed the leak with a 3" rubber drain boot. The plumber came to our house and examined the situation. Paid him the $60.00 and he left. No news for a couple of days. Called our claims specialist and left several messages. On Monday she called back denying the claim stating corrosion was the factor. Hmmm?? Corrosion on a copper pipe? Not present since there was no blue green stain anywhere on the pipe.

    And yes I am a metallurgist. The joint was clearly a solder joint failure on our 45 year old house. The plumber did not even remove the boot to examine the leaking joint. Solder joints do wear out and this is one of the pitfalls with copper drains where compared to PVC. Asked the CHW claims person how the plumber justified the "corrosion claim" since the boot was not removed. The CHW claims specialist quoted the obscure section of the warranty citing corrosion. Again no corrosion was present. Unfortunately settled for a $100 refund check that is "still in the mail". Will search for a better company after State and Federal charges are filed.

    DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY OR TIME!!!! I was denied an AC repair by Choice Home Warranty. The denial stated they would not replace the part because the unit was "Dirty", which caused the part to break. After speaking with Total AC, they stated this was not true, and that the part warped due to normal wear and tear. I then disputed the case and was assigned to a case worker. She places me on hold, and comes back and states that the AC company told her the unit was "Filthy" and that is what caused the issue. In disbelief, my husband calls the AC company and they have absolutely no record of the call, and assured him that they would not say that.

    I was then assigned another case worker and she said the AC company probably had the wrong account up when she called. We then were told it was not maintained and that is what caused the denial. Again, a different technician comes out to actually repair the part, because we had no choice but to move forward, and states this is a clean unit and the part warped due to normal wear and tear. We took pictures of the unit before it was replaced, and we were also given the part to keep as proof. We have been so disregarded and ignored during this process, and are not out almost 1,000 dollars when we thought we were protected. There is currently a class action suit, I have followed up and given my information. From what I am told, this is the normal process for this company.

    1) Recently Water was leaking in inlet pipe of my water heater. I called Choice Warranty and they sent technician (the technician was third party). He looked just from far and said you have to replace the water heater since Installation was wrong. So, my claim was denied. Can you believe that! The inspection was passed by city and it works from very long time. I asked to appeal. They said you have to get your technician to appeal; and he has to call on number given by case rep. before he starts working. Well, I called technician and he looked in to issue. Days passed before my technician came so there was little rust since water was leaking. Technician said this could be issue due to leak however he needs to open the pipe before conclusion. No one is magician that by looking at issue you can give result. He called the number and mentioned this. The guy fixed the issue by changing the pipe. The washer was bad (due to normal wear and tear). Insurance denied the claim saying this was due to rust (which my technician said based on observation not by actual work) and they don’t cover. The guy clearly mentioned in bill the issue was due to washer. Choice Warranty get away and paid nothing.

    2) I called for the leaking toilet since there was minor crack in toilet bowl. The insurance said they are not sure they can cover this issue and I have to pay technician 45$ for visit. I called local guy and get it replaced in 75$. What a scam.

    3) I called them for attic fan. They said the same. It is not covered.

    4) I called for heating since my daughter room was not getting heat. The third-party technician came and said it was issue with installation and they can’t fix it. Surprised I was surprised too. This was working and guess what? I ended up doing, paid 150$ and it was minor issue with connection with furnace.

    So, no matter what you call them for no claim is covered. Don’t buy this if you haven’t bought. If you already bought it welcome to family. I wish some lawyer can take them to justice since all they do is get the money and no service provided.

    I have a 50% coverage rate with CHW. I had a sump pump fail and a water heater leak. Both normal wear and tear failures, but in their fine print they found ways out of coverage. The water heater tank developed a leak and began to flood the basement. Thinking I would be covered, I wasn't worried. But somehow they don't cover the actual tank. Now I am stuck with the $1800 bill to replace my water heater and the process delayed the repairs for a day. That means no showers, no laundry, no dishes, etc. The sump pump was a less expensive venture, but still left a bad taste in my mouth.

    I've had their *services* (term used loosely) for 14 months and when I wanted to look at buy-out options, they said they'd refund me 6.8% of my original purchase price. So it's not even worth cancelling at this point. I bought a 6yr plan. Seems to be a coin toss whether or not they will repair our next problem. How you can list on your website that you cover a water heater, and then begin to dissect the parts within and decide what is covered is poor business practice. Not only that, it seems you specifically exclude the parts that are the most prone to failure. Cover it wholly or don't at all!!! My advice is to read and fully understand all the Terms and Conditions before buying any home warranty. You would likely be better off putting the purchase money into an emergency fund savings acct instead.

    Company refuses to process claim. They say that oven doors, handles, hinges are not covered. The issue deals with the oven cleaning locking item which is not part of the door. When the tech arrived to repair Choice said it was covered. Now they say it is not covered. They say it is part of the door. It is not connected to the door, it is part of the main body of the oven. Horrible customer service and frankly they were rude.

    When we bought our home in Dallas, GA, a little over a year ago, it came with a $500 warranty from Choice Home Warranty. We realized a few months ago we probably wouldn't renew the policy when it expired this month because it doesn't seem worth the money based on what is actually covered. Over the past three months, their sales staff has harassed us non-stop. I received two or three phone calls PER DAY from them, plus at least two emails every day and an occasional text. I asked them THREE times to stop calling me because they were disturbing me at work. One salesman actually laughed at me before I hung up. Now that the policy has expired, they are STILL bothering us! I blocked all of the phone numbers from New Jersey, but one just slipped by this morning. I am at my wit's end. LEAVE US ALONE!!!!!

    We received a home warranty from them per our closing agreement for our new house. We've used them twice, water heater and furnace, and both times they didn't cover what needed to be fixed. Each time there was fine print to show they didn't cover what we needed. There is so much fine print for each of the systems/appliances covered you'll never get anything fixed. That fine print is not readily available until after you purchase the home warranty and get the details of the contract. Completely worthless!! If I could give them negative stars I would! We've talked to customer service (and up the chain) about these issues and they just come back to the fine print. Good for them but terrible for customers! I'm just really glad we didn't pay for this home warranty, luckily the sellers did. Terrible company!!!

    DO NOT under any circumstances give this shady company any money. They will send unqualified techs to your home who will fix one (probably nothing wrong with it) thing and then leave. When your problem continues, they say it's a new call with a new service fee. When it comes down to a unit needing replacement, they tell you that what's wrong with it isn't covered, even though their ads say they cover even old appliances. Total rip off and will waste your time until you stop calling them. Save your money and fix your own problems.

With 37 years active duty, retiring as a Marine Colonel, I tend to intimidate a few callers. But if you are going to sell something you need to know your product - and he did. My questions were expertly answered and he often answered my next question before I asked it. He wasn't just reading a script that he had to get through, he paused several times and allowed me to ask a question or ask for clarification- then he would continue. I don't know if calls are outsourced or not but, this man represented the company in an exemplary manner. If the rest of the company has the same genuine concern for the client I can see how they earned the number one spot in Home Warranties!

Made a claim at 8:00am on the CHOICE website and by midday a technician was in contact with us and visited later that afternoon. The broken fan/limit switch was replaced and a new thermostat was offered. No charge except the $60 service fee. My only issue was that Choice offered to replace my programmable thermostat with a non programmable one. I declined and went out to the hardware store and bought a new programmable thermostat while the technician was making the other repairs. Great experience 10/10.

    We recently purchased a Choice Home Warranty as our first home warranty, ever. Our home is nine years old and we heard this is the best time to get a home warranty. When doing research we read the reviews on Choice Home Warranty and although they seemed to be more expensive than others, we felt they had a very comprehensive warranty and we purchased their home warranty plan. On Friday our water heater began leaking, and my husband quickly shut off the water. We called Choice Home Warranty to be told the earliest time they could send someone out was on Monday. This was with them knowing our water was off, sinks, toilets, etc. We called back to escalate and got someone to come out on Saturday.

    On Saturday, we were told by the plumber that Choice Home Warranty sent we needed a new water heater, and we checked the contract and the plumber advised we didn't have any of the reasons listed on the exclusions for the water heater. Two hours of waiting on Choice Home Warranty to determine if they would cover the claim, to have the claim declined. A denial never crossed our mind, we assumed it was taking long because they were working on paperwork or payment to the plumber. We were told while we have coverage to replace the water heater, the water heater itself is not covered? So confusing. My husband and I were shocked at the unprofessionalism that was displayed by Choice Home Warranty.

    We went on to review the contract and onto the website to see what we could have missed. We found that in the contract the Water Heater was listed as a covered appliance for replacement, but in the exclusions (far down exclusions), it listed storage container as an exclusion. Who knew that this meant the water heater? There was not a glossary of any kind and I felt this was very deceptive to use different terms to describe the water heater. To call it a water heater in the inclusions and call it a storage container in the exclusions. So my husband and I called the company back as a prospective client wanting coverage and we specifically asked the representative if our water heater leaked and needed to be replaced (the water heater itself) would it be covered and we were told yes.

    We sent a recording of the conversation where we were told the replacement of the water heater would be covered, with the employee # of this individual, to the company and they still denied my claim. Just FYI, this is an unfair and deceptive sales practice meant to mislead consumers. The company has offered to refund me the amount I paid for the warranty because I will be cancelling, but I want the claim paid as it was the coverage we were sold. If I had gone with another vendor, like American Home Shield, this would have been covered. The Choice Home Warranty manager declined the opportunity to do the right thing. Do not use a company that will not make things right when they have the opportunity to do so. If they are going to act like a low rate company, you can just go to someone else who is cheaper.
