Jerry was very helpful and offered me the greatest discounts available. I am trusting that the company is as good as it brags. I have two homes and am covering both because I don't know how to fix anything and I am hoping that their contractors are as good as they have touted.

I purchased a plan with the rep via phone. All was great and he was professional until he tried selling a longer term contract. He was pushy, rude, and arrogant. I second guessed my purchase with the company because of his comments. "It makes sense, stay with the 1 year contract vs the 3 year because I'm trying to save you money, yeah that makes sense!" I didn't appreciate his sarcasm.

I live in Louisiana and it's very hot! My AC went out during the night. I called at 3:00 am. I had an email by 5:19 am that I had an appointment for service. The tech called me at 2pm and had completed the repair by 3pm. How quick and easy was that. I highly recommend Choice Home Warranty!

Your rep (Jake **) doesn't need to work with customers. If it was a recorded conversation, please listen to it. He was consistently telling me that I would be the only customer for this year that only wanted a one year contract and said it in a very condescending tone. I didn't appreciate his behavior.

I inquired about a policy online today. Before I could even finish, Sal ** was calling me. Sal was friendly, informative and not pushy at all. When he found out we were over 50 and a veteran, he offered me the better deal. He also told me to send my currently policy in showing the date it expired and Choice would take care of covering the extra two weeks to ensure I was covered. Lastly, I told him my daughter was about to close on her first home. He gave me his direct line, asked for her name and sat for her to call him direct. Great customer service!!!!

We have taken care of our heating and AC units with proper maintenance every year for 17 years. When the heating furnace did not work properly Choice sent a company to review it. The technicians said we have a clean unit but it is old and worn out and needed replacing. Choice denied the claim since there were exclusions that could not be controlled by the owner therefore this warranty does not cover it. This same thing happened with our upstairs AC unit. It needs replacing NOT due to lack of human maintenance but to uncontrolled variables that are considered excluded by the warranty. The technician that came to review the AC called us and canceled their company's contract with Choice due to embarrassment of claim denial. This company is a fraud when it involves large house systems and with small ones... they try to get out of it as well. Stay away from Choice Warranty!

I had issue with my water heater not working. Kind of making noise and the claim person told me we can only have it inspected if it is not leaking. It was not leaking. Even their Technician confirmed it, it was making noise due condensation and I was told by their technician that he can NOT fix it. He have to replace it with new water heater, I had to call via Sales dept to talk to the manager because the claim person will put me on HOLD and never come back and Manager will not call back even though I left messages, finally I got the manager via sales dept call. Instead of replacing the unit he was negotiating because according to their policy they ONLY FIX IT. THEY WON'T REPLACE IT Which I was not aware of, I think this is unfair and sales dept should mention when you sign up that replacement is NOT an option.
So finally the negotiator person offered me only $150 (take or leave it kind of attitude) towards my new water heather which is well over $1000 plus installation. I have paying over a year with Choice Home Warranty and it is disappointing to know that when we have claim no one want to help to make it better for the consumer.

Clogged drain was not able to be cleared by the CHW assigned plumbing service contractor. No assistance was offered by Choice to let me know if Choice would cover the needed plumbing relief under my policy or if I needed to seek another solution. Consequently, I was left swinging in the wind with water coming into my home. Unacceptable!!!

I just had a sales rep call me from filling out a form online. When I told him I wasn’t ready to pull the trigger this very second (as we are not closing on house for 5 weeks), he rudely said he had to go and hung up on me. I’m in customer service myself and I can’t believe the unprofessionalism of this employee. Honestly, I was going to go with them after I spoke to my husband but you can guarantee I’ll never do business with them. Choice Warranty might want to take a look at their inside sales team. You could be losing a ton more potential customers with this attitude.

I had a claim for the air conditioner part of my heat pump. I submitted a claim, and they were unable to find a technician who could come out quickly, so they allowed me to call my own technician. When the technician came, he diagnosed the issue and called for authorization. It needed more refrigerant and a small part, which was authorized, and my technician put it in. I will be reimburse for this within 30. All this is great. HOWEVER, the technician also found that there is a leak in the coil (this is where the refrigerant leaked out) and the coil needs to be replaced. The technician mentioned this also to the authorization department, but he needs to get the part, so he did not fix that yet.
I just called the authorization department myself, and found out that they will not cover this!! They told me they do not cover anything if there is rust and/or corrosion involved. They say the rust and corrosion caused the leak and therefore they will not cover the new coil. I say the leak started first, and that caused the rust and corrosion. Now I have to figure out how I can file an appeal!! Of course the first repair was not very expensive, but the coil is expensive. I am sure that is why they don't want to cover it. I am VERY DISAPPOINTED in this company.

Claim #**. I purchased warranty service from Choice Home Warranty. My wife had brain surgery and I wanted piece of mind knowing if something went wrong with items covered under the warranty I could use the service to get the item repaired or replaced. At the beginning of June 2019 my AC stopped working. I made the phone call to file a claim, the next day I received an email that stated they are unable to get a technician to respond to my residence for diagnosis, they gave me an option. Called reimbursement option that allowed me to call a local HVAC technician to respond out and diagnose. I chose this since the weather was very hot and I needed ac for my sick wife.
The next day I was able to get a local technician out, he diagnosed the problems and called the toll free number and reported to choice that the the inside units motherboard was not operational, the fan was not working and the outside AC has a small leak in the coil system. He gave a quote on prices to fix it. It must be noted that my system is an older system, when I purchased the warranty. I gave the salesman this info and he stated it doesn’t matter, it will be covered as long as no misuse or obvious abuse that’s not normal wear and tear. I spoke to my technician and he said it’s just older and it just needs fixed or replaced.
Later that evening I received an email stating the claim is not covered because the leak in the AC is caused by rust (their opinion site unseen). Not once did did they mention anything about the inside unit and the issues with it. I called and the representative kept repeating what the email said. It felt like she was talking in circles not answering my question about the inside unit, only thing she said is I would have to appeal the decision. I appealed the decision, the next day I received an email that stated I was assigned a case manager Tashay **. I spoke to her on the phone and she continued to advise me that the claim is not covered and after checking with her “technician” site unseen it is their opinion that the failure in the motherboard and blower motor was caused from the leak in the outside AC unit.
I’m not a technician but I’m not stupid. This makes no sense. I can’t believe they won’t even try to fix what’s wrong. Just simply deny the claim. Ms ** advised me I could have the technician call again and speak to the technician Line. I asked him and he advised I would have to pay another service call because the last time talking on the phone was Time consuming and this time of year he is very busy. He also stated that his report the first time was very detailed and suggested I cancel service with choice because he can’t understand why this would not be covered. He works a lot with many different warranty companies and has never heard of this reason for denial.
I will be canceling my warranty and I will write more reviews based on this incident. I can’t stand by and let other people pay their hard earned money for peace of mind that a warranty supplies to need it and have to go through what I have gone through. If you’re reading this do not choose choice home warranty. Find another one and read reviews. Don’t believe what a salesman tells you. Very disappointed. I’m left now with a unit that doesn’t work.

I had noticed a noise coming from my freezer and called for a repair. They came out 2 days later to look at it and took pics and got model number and other info to order parts. Told me to defrost it and that I would have to keep doing this until they come and fix it. You can see how much food I had in it. I told them I had went to the store 4 days earlier and spent a fortune and could not afford to lose any of it. So before they left I had asked how long will it take. He says 6 to 10 days. So after they left I realized that the freezer had went out and I had to go and get some big ice chests and I have been using it down.
My problem is I'm going to lose all my food because it will take too long to get fixed but if I hired someone out the phonebook they would of fixed it that day and everything would be fine. I feel if you have a warranty on stuff like this I think they should go out their way to fix stuff like this. They shouldn't make the customer wait like this. I called to complain and that didn't work either. I'm not happy at all.

Updated on 07/12/2019: On June 7th, I filed a claim with Choice Home Warranty to have my central air unit serviced. It is now July 12th (one month and counting), and I still have not seen a technician to investigate the issue. In that time, three different technicians have been assigned to the case, and in each instance, the technician never showed. I expect to receive an email any day now from Choice saying my claim has been re-assigned, and will probably have to wait another week before actually being assigned a technician. A phone call to Choice gets the canned, "We'll escalate this." Companies that have been assigned so far: A&L Mechanical, Zopatti Heating Company, Pro Air Heating & Air Conditioning.
Original Review: My first call to them was this past winter when my heating system wasn't working. The technician who came to the house said the system was air bound due to the facts that several pumps had failed, allowing air into the enclosed system. All Choice heard was air bound and they told me it was a maintenance issue and that wasn't something they covered. Their own technician said it wasn't a maintenance issue (as well as two other home heating specialists I had to the house on my own dime), yet they overrode these assessments and denied the claim.
Now I'm trying to get service for my central air unit. It's been over a week since I made the claim, and so far nobody has been assigned the claim. Do technicians not want to work with Choice Home Warranty because they don't pay? Or because all claims are denied and it's a waste of time going out on their service calls? For a company that's been top rated by Consumer Affairs, they're giving poor quality customer service.

Do not use this company. They employee totally useless contractors and fight you on every claim you make. The only claim they actually fixed for us was the knob on our oven, it took over 3 month and three different contractors to replace it. Our AC stopped working and the contractor they sent out told us that it was the compressor and that Choice would not cover it because of rust. I was informed that the compressor for my unit is no longer made, but they would be happy to instal a new unit for me for $6,000. We hired our own AC repair guy for find out they had just unplugged everything and all we needed was a new thermostat.
Our fridge was making a funny noise and Choice sent a guy that said it was the compressor and said it was not fixable. Choice offered us $600 to replace the fridge, which was way below the replacement value. We finally agreed and closed the claim. 10 days later my husband canceled our policy. Which Choice decided meant the we didn't want our check. They are complete crooks. DO NOT USE THEM. I'd give them zero stars if it was possible.

Please review your contract before signing on with "CHW". I bought a contract from them July 2018. I had a total of 2 service calls as of 11 Jun 2019. I placed a service call on 25 May 19, for AC service because my unit was cooling my home. It took from 25 May - 11 Jun 19, to get closure on the status of my "AC" repairs and I got denial of repairs from what was written up from Golden & Golden Inc., HVAC tech.
Overall "CHW" final decision was that my unit non-operation conduction wasn't from wear and tear and they couldn't make repairs. I took this as a slap in the face, when they offered me $200.00 assist with my repairs. My contract was paid in full with no delays but leaving your home in their care would be a mistake. Cheaper isn't always better and I suggest you read the entire contract. Dishonest and their rating aren't what posted. As retired veteran a lesson learned and be careful of who may be working together when it comes to the warranty company and techs they assigned for services. Again as of today 11 Jun 19, I still don't have any type of cooling system and thanks to "CHW" they're little to no help. Totally disappointed customer! James **. Augusta, GA

My air conditioner stopped working. A technician came out and found no Freon in the line. He told the Choice representative that there was no sign of rust or corrosion in or on the lines. The Choice representative said he would get back to me within a half hour. About fifteen minutes later an E-Mail was received stating the repair was not covered due to rust and corrosion. It is beyond believe that someone 600 miles away from my home could say that there was rust and corrosion when a technician examining the line said there was none.
I appealed the decision. It took eight phone calls and two Emails before I was able to talk to someone. The phone calls all are sent to voicemail and it took eight days for someone to contact me. The response was that rust and corrosion is not covered. However I could have seven pounds of freon placed in the line and have it examined. I was told the cost of freon, $1500.00 plus the cost of the examination of the line would not be covered by my policy. She also stated even after this any repair would probably not be covered. My decision was to replace the unit rather than spending $2,000.00 to repair.
Not one cent was spent by Choice for this claim. So much for air conditioning coverage. Reading the coverage for air conditioning there is no mention of rust and corrosion not being covered, They referred me to another section where it is listed under limitations of liability. The technician said that Choice will find a way to not pay for the repair. He further stated that I should save my money and not purchase a home warranty. This is good advice. This is the same review I sent via Best. Best responded that someone from Choice would get back to me as a result of the review they published on May 30. I have heard nothing from Choice.

What luck, but this is what I purchased the warranty for. I call Choice and create a claim. My claim gets denied because 1 month hasn't gone by since purchasing. I was never told this was a thing. I was told I was covered going forward. I have since been reading more and more about this company and it seems they will do just about anything they can to dodge claims. They only disclose information if it allows them to dodge a claim. It's shady and I will be asking for a refund to move to a better company. I spent 1200 dollars on a warranty that won't honor claims when I could have used that money to just make the repair myself.

I have our primary residence and a rental property and a house we’re doing a fix and flip. All three properties are now covered with Choice Home Warranty. I am a strong proponent of home warranty and have used archer companies over the years. Choice covers more and is less expensive with a better cost per claim deductible as well. To offer a home we will be selling, it’s an additional incentive to a prospective buyer to know that for a year, their new home purchase has a protection against any of the major systems malfunctioning.

Updated on 06/13/2019: I was told by a manager named Rudy on June 12th that he would return my call and tell me the status of my claim. I then called last night after not hearing from Rudy, the lady informed me that corporate was going to call me within the next 24 hours. I finally had a technician come out yesterday June 12th and he placed an order for some parts. So again it's going to be another 7 to 10 days before the parts will be here if they arrive. I cannot get any type of resolution to this issue, I've been fighting with the company just to get callbacks, information and cooperation. Also the corporate office has not returned any of my emails or request for them to call.
At this time there has been no resolution except the parts are on order but they can't guarantee when they come in. So in one more week it will be 30 days without hot water. The promises that were made in their pamphlet or booklet that we received along with the claims of great customer service have fallen very short. All I'm asking is for resolution to my problem.
Original Review: My claim was made on Mar 22 of this year. Each tech assigned was designated unqualified to make the repair. I actually received an email repair was approved. Multiple calls money and time spent with no results. They show no intent to help but they sure were glad to take my payment.

I spoke to a CHW employee in Feb 2019 and ended up taking our a home warranty with them. I explained to the rep that I was dealing with a chronic illness and wanted to be sure that I was getting the best possible coverage because I wanted to avoid hassles. When I needed to use the warranty three months later, every appliance that I called about had an exclusion, garage door (doesn't cover springs); refrigerator freezer (not located in kitchen). When I called to cancel the policy I was placed on hold for over 20 minutes waiting to talk to a manager. A supervisor, not a manager, came on the line and was very rude. She said she didn't see what the problem was.
She stated that no policy covers everything and I should just let her get me on a different plan. When I explained that I didn't want any more dealings with CHW she said, "well I'm just trying to help you." We went back and forth for 10 minutes until I decided I wouldn't discuss it anymore. I was on the way to the doctor while talking to her. When I got to the doctor my blood pressure was elevated from the conversation. I am so disgusted. I still don't have my garage door or freezer repaired. I feel as though I was ripped off through a bait and switch game. The first technician didn't even explain that there were different plans. The supervisor was extremely rude and I am out over $100 which is a lot when you're on disability.

In late May, we called Choice Home Warranty because our air conditioner quit cooling and they sent out an air conditioning tech the next day. He went into the attic and said we had a leak on the aluminum coils located inside a unit in the attic. He said he couldn't see the leak but that the coils needed to be replaced to stop the leak of coolant. He put a little Freon in the unit to get us through a couple of days of hot weather and left with his $45 deductible. Later that day, I got an email from Choice Home Warranty saying that the Choice Home Warranty did not cover the replacement of the coil unit because it was due to corrosion. How can they say it was a leak due to corrosion if the technician couldn't actually see where it was leaking.
I called and spoke with a Choice Home Warranty manager. He spoke with a very heavy Hindu accent while telling me our repairs weren't covered because it was lack of maintenance on our part that cause the aluminum coils to corrode. I told him the technician he sent out did not see the leak so how could he tell it was corrosion that caused the leak. He then told me "it had to be corrosion because that's the only reason the coils would fail". In other words, they knew before they ever arrived they weren't going to cover the repairs because they have a blanket excuse ready to deny all expensive claims!

We have been with Choice Home Warranty for a year now. Our AC started having issues last summer. Choice Home Warranty got a company to come and fix it but that was like pulling teeth. However, this year our AC is not working. We put a claim in May 23rd. We were told that someone would be at our home to service our AC May 28th. We decided to double check with the company that was supposed to come to our home and service our AC about the time they were supposed to be at our home. The company notified us that they did not have a work order for us from Choice Home Warranty. Which is a bit confusing because we had a confirmation email. We spoke with Choice Home Warranty again and and they acted as if they did not know what we were speaking of. Choice Home warranty sent out the technician the next day.
The technician said that we needed a new motor on our AC. He notified Choice Home Warranty that we needed that part. But the motor was replaced last summer. Choice Home Warranty then told us that we had to produce a receipt showing the motor was replaced. Which is a bit confusing because the motor was replaced by their technician they sent to our home. We submitted a copy of the receipt showing the motor had been replaced. They took almost another week to approve us to get the motor replaced. So we are going on almost 2 weeks with no air and it’s very hot where we live. The technician came to our house, put freon in our AC. The air worked for one day and was running hot again. My husband then called Choice Home Warranty again. Everyone he spoke to acted as if they had no clue what was going on. He asked for a manager and told the manager he did not want the same technician to come to our home.
The technician was acting incompetent and trying to get money out of us because he said Choice Home Warranty doesn’t like to pay him for his work. Choice Home Warranty told my husband we would have to pay another service fee for a different company to come out. Which is crazy because they are sending out shady technicians. So the manager said that they would waive the service fee and found a different company near our home to come out. The new company was supposed to come to our home today. My husband called the company to make sure they were coming. The company informed us that they did not have a work order for us and that they did not do work for Choice Home Warranty. So my husband called Choice Home Warranty and spoke with a manager. The manager lied and said he called the company and they didn’t answer the phone. Really ironic.
We still have no clue what’s happening with getting our AC back working. Everyone that we spoke with in customer service and management was very lost and couldn’t answer any questions about anything. Every one needs more training and needs to stop lying about everything. We are convinced that Choice Home Warranty does not want to fix nor replace our AC because our warranty expires at the end of July. This is the worst experience ever!

I had a second opinion come out, who actually ran a diagnostic and advised what the issue was, which was completely different from what the Choice technician advised. I called to advise Choice and was told, unfortunately we have made a decision and the claim is still denied. I proceeded to go ahead and have the AC repaired.
I called back to express my how unhappy I was, and the "senior" claims representative advised that the representative should have never told me that and that they wanted to help, but since I had the system repaired without their authorization they could only offer me $150. Even though they clearly admitted that the representative gave me wrong information, and they admitted that the technician did not do a diagnostic test, they still denied the claim.
Problem #2, my refrigerator started cooling intermittently, so they scheduled an appointment in which the technician never showed, after several back and forth the technician finally showed up 2 weeks later and 3 hrs late for the appointment. He advised it was the motherboard. He replaced the motherboard and said everything was working. The next morning we realized that now it was not working at all, we immediately called the technician back, he played dumb and stopped responding. I called Choice and explained the problem, they advised that they would send the technician back out. Well after a week with no response and daily calls and emails to Choice, they advised that if the technician does not respond they will do something else.
I called back the next day and the representative said the exact same thing as the day before. I advised this is unacceptable and we have been without a refrigerator for now 8 days. The representative advised we have to give the technician 7-10 days to respond. I explained I had to throw everything in the refrigerator away. I DEFINITELY do not recommend Choice home warranty! Do not waste your money!! S.**

I am having issues w/ our HVAC unit. The technician sent by Choice was great and this is no reflection on him. The tech said he thought I had a micro leak and needed some refrigerant. The claim was denied over the phone in less than 5 minutes. Then the technician (who thought CHW was wrong for denying me) did an electronic device leak test. His phrase was that this electronic will definitively show if there is a leak. He performed the test and "NO" leak was found. I call back Choice and their CSR told me the claim was closed and to file an appeal via email. I informed her that the denial was based on a leak which doesn't exist.
I asked to speak to a manager, waited 15 minutes only to be told none was available (that's BS) and that a case worker would be calling me in 24-48 hours. I am sorry but in today's world of communication, waiting for an appeal to read while they can deny a claim in real time is crazy. If you can deny a claim in real time why can't you review an appeal in real time. Lastly, no one from Choice would speak to the technician, which also seems crazy. We are so done with these people. SAVE YOUR MONEY PEOPLE.

CHW found a tech in a timely manner and the communication process was great. The tech called me and we were able to set up a time for him to be here and he showed up on time which was another good point. This is why I gave this experience two stars. I was TOLD by the tech what to do to fix the problem. I did it and it still isn't cooling properly. I don't know how you find techs in your network for people in the area they live in but I feel like I paid $75 for something I probably could have used Google for. I have this warranty with CHW to have a tech come out and FIX the problem. Not to tell me what to do and that should work and it still doesn't fix the problem. So I guess I will have to pay another $75 service call and hopefully the tech will FIX the problem and my refrigerator will cool to the proper temperature. I guess the two stars should be for the tech but I feel like CHW found this guy and I have to go with who CHW chooses technician wise.

I am quite satisfied with the claims people, however, the first technician came and assessed the situation but never called his diagnosis in to the claims center. I tried several times reaching him but was unsuccessful. I then called the claims center to report that I had already been 1 week with no refrigerator. They also tried to reach the technician but were unsuccessful. They then assigned me a new technician who came out promptly and called the diagnosis from my home. Before he even left, the claims department called & said that they would either replace the refrigerator or do a cash buyout. I now can pick the refrigerator that I want.

This company is horrible! Do not choose them as your home warranty. Our AC Unit went out. They sent someone to our home and right before the tech even took a look at our unit he started trying to sell us on a new one. Then he made the statement that this warranty company RARELY covers anything with ac units. So, he goes and takes a look and the next day I receive the diagnostic and a denied letter. They denied us because they said our Evaporator Coils were leaking Refrigerant and since it's due to rust they will not cover it! Our home isn't brand new, so of course there may be rust - so you might as well say you don't cover old homes. So, I escalated it to the manager.... Now she was a piece of work. She told us there is nothing they can do.
The issue was due to rust and that since our home is 17 years old we need to get the ac unit replaced but will not fix it! I told her the tech didn't even go in the attic to look at the coils.. So, how was it determined to be rust when he NEVER looked! I asked her to send the tech back out and do his job and look to make sure that's the cause and she refused. She said they will not work on our unit. Then the tech called us so many times after trying to sell us on an 8,000 unit when the fix is 2500. SMH!!!!
I am so surprised! I am 8 1/2 months pregnant. I have three kids who one of them is 1 years old. We live in AZ 100+ weather and they turned us away that fast, didn't even try to help us!! Didn't even try to actually do their diligence to see if it was rust. Horrible company! How do they not want to cover a 2500 fix! I don't have money for that. I will be canceling.
