I have had Choice Home Warranty for the past 6 years and it has been worth every penny that I have spent. Their online filing system and customer service is both prompt and excellent. The technicians usually schedule an appointment within hours and are at the house in a day. I also had to get a couple of appliances replaced and dealing with Choice customer service was easy and straightforward.

AC company came to repair as the unit was freezing over. The repairman was very courteous and professional. Unfortunately, there was little he could do as Choice Home Warranty doesn't cover what needed to be done. Had to pay additional money for a small amount of freon to be added to the unit (additional $65 per pound). Was quoted about $467 for coils to be acid washed. What am I paying for???

Washer was not operating as the mother board control was malfunctioning. The only thing noticeable that it was not locking the door. When technician arrived he detected mother board malfunction.

I was unimpressed that as I was reviewing the insurance details online I was contacted by phone. I would prefer at least a days grace to discuss this with my wife than have an obtrusive call ‘pushing’ the sales pitch with buy now offers. It almost made me look elsewhere. Just saying. It remains to be seen how much value the policy is, it’s definitely the cheapest monthly payment I’ve seen and I did sign up but only after discussion with my wife.

There was water leaking from a pipe connected to my hot water heater, which the technician immediately diagnosed the problem and took care of it. Also, an outside faucet was constantly dripping so he was able to just tighten the handle, which I couldn't do, to stop the flow. He also advised me that I should plan to get the handle replaced eventually.

Choice Home Warranty handled my Hot Water Heater Issue in a very professional manner. Due to the lack of Hot Water my family was very grateful for the quick response from Service Provider.

My most recent claim was with my Spa. I purchased this policy and was told I could add on additional Spa coverage, and I was CLEAR, it's an above ground SPA and I do not have a pool. I call to make the claim, since online claim has no category for my Spa. Originally the agent said it's denied because it doesn't cover above ground spas... ok, so why was I sold the add on coverage... give me my money back. Was transferred, and another customer service rep says, "Oh we'll cover your spa." The claim was assigned to service company, who text me that they don't service Spas at all. It seems too difficult to log claims, and I feel like I have to constantly email and call Choice to get the claims worked on.

Our plumber, Chris did an awesome, clean and quick replacement of a leaking disposer. He was efficient and the repair went smoothly. CHW sent an e-mail confirming the appointment time from 7AM to 11AM. At 9:30 I called the plumbing company and I was not on their schedule. CHW had failed to communicate with the plumbing company. At about 10AM I got another confirm this time with a 10AM to 2PM appointment. Meanwhile Chris showed up at 10:30 so all was good. CHW just couldn't get out of their own way... Also, it was a free service as I had been given bad information on a previous call. Read your contract folks; This was written by very clever lawyers!

Choice Home Warranty is a complete ripoff. Every time you put in a claim they find the most ridiculous reason why they cannot cover you. They are total liars. My last claim was for my washer. It was making a weird noise. They sent a technician. Now mind you I am a 66 year old woman. I do 2 light loads a week. I own no heavy comforters. I have never had a heavy load. I wash for only one person. After the tech left I was sent an email telling me my 4 year old washing machine is not covered because the reason it broke down is because of the heavy loads. The bad thing is they make you pay 3 years in advance so you are stuck. My fault. I should have realized paying 3 years up front has to be a rip-off.

I guess I should start with saying buyer beware. When I switched over to Choice from my former home warranty company (which did fix a leaky pipe several years ago with no problem) I just assumed that when they said they covered plumbing that it meant they covered a pipe that leaks. But I should have looked in the back of their warranty in section F where it states that not included is the malfunction or improper operation due to rust or corrosion of all systems and appliances. Well I don’t see how you could say you cover plumbing and you don’t cover a pipe that leaks. 99% of pipes that leak are caused by corrosion. Why else would they leak? So I paid $60 to the plumber they sent who did nothing and then told me after my claim was denied that he could do the job for $300-$400. I called a local plumber and he fixed it for $150. So I was out $210.
So as I said, buyer beware. That one sentence in the back of the warranty in section F eliminates a multitude of common household problems including leaky pipes and multiple problems that could happen with your refrigerator, washing machine, and dishwasher. Very sneaky for a senior citizen to find this out but as I said I guess I should’ve followed the old adage, buyer beware.

They sent out three plumbers to check out the broken water heater. All three plumbers said that we needed a new one. Between the plumbers and Choice Home Warranty they could not get together for whatever reason. They blamed it on paperwork. With two of the plumbers the third plumber tried to gouge us. They tried to get $3,500 out of Choice Home Warranty when all they were going to pay was 500 for the water heater and $339 for labor. Again I'm glad I had more than one bathroom.
So I called Choice Warranty and I asked them to just send me the $500. I was tired of waiting for them to find somebody that could do the job. So I called and asked if they would just send me the money. I get my own person to do it since the claim was already approved. They said sure it would still be 30 more days before I could get to $500. The lady could not explain why I was going to take another month for me to get my money but anyway a month later I still didn't have my money. I am now into the three more weeks of this and it's a good thing I have more than one bathroom. Worst experience of my life and I've been on this Earth for 59 years.

Updated on 05/09/2019: I had posted an review earlier regarding the terrible experience that I had with Choice Home Warranty regarding the claim that I have opened. It has been 3 months now and still there is no resolution at sight. Since I posted the earlier review, CHW came back and asked me to get a second opinion and that they will pay for it minus the $45 deductible. I got another repair company to come check out the refrigerator and they said that the issue is beyond repair and the door has to be replaced.
When this was conveyed to CHW, they are saying that the door is not covered !!! Can you believe that there is actually something in the fine print of their contract that the refrigerator door is not covered. When I asked the case manager, what is actually covered, she said there are only a couple of things with the compressor that is covered, rest all is not covered. When I asked her what was the point of me buying this home warranty after paying hundreds of dollars, she said they do cover the 2 parts of the fridge if they were to go bad.
I could as well have purchased a new fridge instead of buying this home warranty, it is a totally useless product and offers no value to the customer. CHW is here just to make money and does not care about their customers. I have already filed complains with the Better Business Bureau and The office of Consumer Affairs in NJ. Any other ideas?
Original Review: I had a terrible experience regarding claim that was opened in February for my GE refrigerator that was having issues. Choice Home Warranty sent a technician to my house who came several times to try and fix the issue. He tried changing the control board in the front of the fridge, changed the main control board in the back of the refrigerator and also checked everything else with the fridge but could not resolve the issue. He then said he will get back to me after talking to the warranty company.
After a couple of days, I was told by the warranty company that there is some rust in some wiring and that rust is not part of the covered services. This is a total change from the initial diagnosis. During all the visits to my house there was no talk of any rust in any wiring, all I was told that the control board was bad and had to be replaced. Only at the last visit the tech started coming up with some theories. Since the issue cannot be fixed, the diagnosis was conveniently changed to something that is not a covered service. There is no rust in any wiring even now. They can send a team of specialists to my house and try to find any rust in my refrigerator, they will not find anything. I have been working with claim handler Natasha **. This is really unacceptable by a big company like this and would like my refrigerator to be completely fixed or I be paid the complete replacement cost.

I purchased a Choice Home warranty repair for 6 years. I've had it since 4/24/17. I used it for the 1st time, for my washer, a water pump failure. I called choice warranty, and reported it. Choice Warranty arranged for a technician to call me. I told the tech., about the error code on my appliance, error/OE, which meant, the water pump had gone bad. The tech reaffirmed the appointment with me. That Choice had set up. The tech. and his helper, came out to my home, on time. They made the repair, and my washer works great!
I would say the entire process went extremely well. Choice Warranty has given me total peace of mind. I have a tendency, to not have the best of luck with equipment, in my home. I think having this type of 24/7 protection is wonderful! I now know, if anything goes bad in my home. It will only cost $45.00, for a service call. I look at this way, we buy car insurance to protect us and our cars. It makes perfect sense to protect all the expensive stuff in our homes. Appliances, water heaters, air conditioning, furnaces, roofs, water pipe clogs, electrical systems, freezers, spas, pool pumps, ceiling fans, and many other things you can get protected.
I just thought of, how expensive it was, just to keep service plans going for each one of the things, I mentioned. And realized this was a much better way to spend my money. They not only will repair these things in your home, for the $45.00 service fee. But if they can't fix it/them they will replace it/them, FOR FREE! When you buy extended warranties, like on your fridge. They won't replace it, if it can't be fixed! But Choice Warranty WILL replace it, in the event it can't be fixed. So, if your fridge, or your central air, or something else fails in your home that is protected by Choice. It will would cost you, a heck of a lot more, than Choice Warranty charges for covering all of your stuff, for six years of peace of mind!
So now I know, if my fridge fails, and can't be fixed, I get a brand new one, for $45.00. You can't beat that!! So, hell yeah, I highly recommend them!! And NO, I don't represent them, OR work for them! I am just a very happy customer, who believes in the peace of mind, that Choice Warranty gives me!!! I made the right Choice, in choosing, Choice Warranty Protection, and so should YOU!!!

I have yet to be impressed by this company. I've had to call on two legitimate issues, so far and have been let down on both. Both CHW and the companies they hire to perform the work apply to my utter disappointment. Request #1, I state I have a plumbing emergency on a Friday night -- CHW: "okay, we'll have a tech there on Thursday." Request #2 on a Friday, "I am available all day, Wednesday" -- CHW: "okay, we'll have a tech there on Tuesday." It's like they don't even listen to you! And when I remind them of my availability, I'm told to go figure out rescheduling, myself. Then there's the people they hired!
Request #1 were incredibly disrespectful and scammers. I reported them to CHW and the BBB -- CHW did not care one bit and the problem isn't solved! Request #2 was a very nice technician, but "turn up your water heater to maximum heat and don't use the hot setting" is NOT a fix for my failing dishwasher! I would NEVER recommend this company to anyone! I only have them, because the sellers of our home offered it to us! What a joke! My two items are NOT fixed and I'm out two full days of pay, so far! All CHW has done for me so far is cost me two day's pay, two $65 deductibles, and absolutely nothing has been fixed, so far. AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS!!!

My last two orders have not been satisfactory. First, my heater was not working properly and the technician that changed the location of my thermostat left a gaping hole in my wall. It took several calls for him to come back to fix it. Even at that, it was obvious he did not know what to do. My last order was for a plumber to fix the leak under my sink and another part of the building.
CHW said that this leak was not covered by warranty. I was informed after paying $65.00. I had to pay the plumber another $250.00 for something he spent less than 30 minutes "fixing" and to make matters worse, the leak is back less than 4 hours after he "fixed" it. It is almost these technicians show up to collect $65. I am beginning to question the quality of work that these technicians do. I do not mind paying more for a home warranty that actually solves problems. Right now I have doubts about CHW. Also it will be wise to tell your customers what is covered, especially the fine lines.

I just had the best experience purchasing a home warranty. I have had 4 different warranty companies over the past years and have gotten quotes from many more. The story goes as follows. AHS has been my warranty company for the past 4 years but the price has gone up. The service was great so I went looking for a better deal since I am medically disabled since 2014 my income is fixed. So I need to save as much as I can. I had check with several companies and got several quotes all lower than AHS.
I called AHS and canceled my policy at the end of the pay period (5/20/19). They were very cordial and completed my request. The next day I get a call from AHS and a very nice lady wanted to know why I was canceling my policy, so I explained about the price and she understood and said that she would recommend CHOICE, WOW that was surprising.
I immediately call Choice and was fortunate enough to get the best Sales Representative on the phone "Thomas "TJ" **" to whom I spoke with about a year ago and he remembered or still had it in the database, anyway he worked with me on pricing and payment plan until we reached a solution (he owned the call).

I went on vacation for 10 days and upon my return to my home, it was full of gas. I called the gas company to report the gas smell. The gas company dispatched an emergency call and determined that my water heater was the cause of the gas in my home. The gas company condemned (red tagged) the water heater because of a bad gas line to the heater since they placed a new gas line in my home in December 2018.
Because the water heater is over 20 years old and the new gas line placed in my home earlier, it was recommended by the gas company that a new heater is needed and call a plumber to replace the water heater as soon as possible. Therefore, I call a plumber based upon the gas company recommendation. The plumber agreed with the gas company assessment. While talking with the plumber he asked whether I had a home warranty plan and I could possibly called them to replace the heater. So, I called Choice Home Warranty.
The customer service received from the first authorization representative was very rude because he didn’t understand why the heater had to be replaced instead of repaired. He wanted to send another plumber to get another assessment that would recommend the heater could be repaired although a new gas line had been placed in my home. The plumber explained several times what the gas company recommended and he agreed with their assessment. Therefore, the review team denied my request.
I requested someone else to review my claim. I was transferred to another representative who initially agreed that a new heater was needed. After his write up of the issue and the review team recommendation, they determined that the gas line could be repaired on a 20 year water heater which now does not meet code in the State of Maryland. The cost that was approved was $235 because I didn’t use their plumber which would have been another 3 days before someone could come to make a diagnosis. Choice Home Warranty has placed my family in danger to save money for profits and overhead. The cost of a new heater is $2236.65 which included installation and disposal of the old heater and meet State Code for Maryland residents.
No I wasn’t satisfied with the results of this claim. So I call to cancel my policy. I was told if I canceled the policy that Choice Home Warranty would not honor the amount that should be paid for this claim. It is going to take 30 days to pay the claim which now makes me make another Warranty payment in order to get reimbursed. This is not my first issue with this company. Last year my air conditioner went out and it took a month to get it fixed because of the incompetence of the company sent to fix it. So I have had nothing but dissatisfactory service from Choice Home Warranty. I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone.

I called them and found that they receive a lot of calls from potential customers because Old Republic jacks their rates up.
So under Choice Warranty our dishwasher quit working and was leaking water. Choice sent out All Brand Appliance and you can tell that they have vetted this company. We have had other repairs in the past and by far All Brand Appliance is the best. The repairman knows his job very well and was very pleasant to work with. Other than having to wait on the parts to come in, this has been a VERY pleasant and bearable repair. Again I have told several of my friends and family that there is NO OTHER home warranty company that I would recommend. By all means purchase the extra home warranty, you will be glad you did. This warranty far exceeds any extended warranty you would ever purchase when purchasing a new appliance.

I used to love Choice. Now, they fight to pay on everything. Won't be recommending them again. Had a boiler blow which was maintained yearly. They offered $600 towards $1500 worth of repairs when it really needed to be replaced.

Did the research and found Choice Home Warranty the best value. This is the first time I will be using a home warranty system so I will see what actually happens, but I do have confidence in their representative and his experience.

I highly recommend Choice warranty. They have great customer service. Customer service was very fast in answering the phone. The technician called me an half an hour later to schedule in fixing my AC. Choice customer service called to make sure I got a call the technician. No hassle and fast service. The customer service representative was very pleasant on the phone. Great job!

I was speaking with Ace, resolving a problem we had with our dishwasher claim, and I would like to congratulate him on his great customer relation, attitude & professionalism he had in resolving our case. It is hard to find good helpful people this day, and what a wonderful experience dealing with him, we came from AHS, and we NEVER received anything like this from them... good job & thanks.

I signed up for a 3 year contract. I’m in my 2nd year of the contract... every time I called most of the issues were resolved without any problems. I just learned that the policy has caps on how much they will pay out towards plumbing, heating and air, appliances too... I was not advised that at the time I purchased the policy.

I call. Talk to Sam. He was a little over bearing. I told him what I wanted and he keep trying to sell me something else, I got a long distance call keeping telling I him had to go and he just keep trying to get me to do some else selling more. He has my credit card number which does not make me happy. At this point may go else where.

Very aggressive sales tactics. Like a cliche used car sales with one more offer to get the sale. I said I wanted to read the terms before deciding. I was told I could cancel in 30 day grace period. Once I accepted the details in the contract say a $50 fee for cancellation. They were going to call back to see if I wanted to extend coverage for 5 years with senior discount. Seems unlikely now.

I have been looking into buying the policy when your salesman called. I am very happy to buy the plan.. Only problem is I am a senior. The option for seniors were if I bought a 5 yr plan it was an incredible deal. I wanted to buy the 5 yr plan but I had to pay for the whole 5 years in the next 3-4 months. I cannot do that so I ended up buying the 3 year plan, only getting 6 months free. I think it is a very poor decision on your part to make me pay for the 5 years in a 3-4 month period. I hope you reconsider and allow the 5 yr plan to be paid over a much longer time period.

I thank God every time I have the fortune to be helped by people like Mr. Tommy **. He's such a professional and caring person. He's definitely a people's person, kind, caring, professional and educated. He made me feel I was in good trusting hands. May God bless Mr. ** and give him the successful career that he deserves. Before talking to him I asked help from Mr. Richard ** and I was treated with such disrespect. I was forced to raise my voice at him when he started yelling at me. He was very rude, didn't let explain what I needed, he kept on talking over me. It was kind of a nightmare talking to him.

I have no idea who this company is, I might've gotten a quote last year from them. But over the past couple weeks I've been getting non-stop calls from this number that I couldn't identify. If I answered it just hung up. I started blocking it. Then a new number came through with the last two digits changed, and again, no one would speak. I don't know what this company does, or what the point is, but any company that spams people like this clearly is not one that anyone should do business with. If you're actually looking for a decent warranty company look for 2-10 home warranty. I have heard great things, and they've been excellent the few times I've had to use it. This company is clearly garbage.

Signing up was quick and very easy. I feel like I received a great and fair price. My only suggestion would be to allow customers to speak in between the rep's spill. Everything sounds so rehearsed and understandably, but there is a way to rehearse your pitch and provide information w/o making the customer feel like they are just a number and in order to close the sell.

You dispatched IAQ Repair to a broken dryer. The technican claimed he did not hear any noise although the dryer was clearly making very loud noises. After I had to pay for another deductible for a second company to come out for the same problem - the second company Repair LLC fixed the problem. I should not have had to pay for 2 service calls for the same issue. Choice should hire true professionals who know how to diagnose problems and can fix said problem. Very disappointing.

If I could give them No Stars I would. I bought a policy covering all appliances, my a/c unit and my heating unit. I asked if they were coming to examine the units and they said no they didn't need to. Well...the story changes when you put in a claim. My 4 year old heating unit broken down and had to be replaced. I called them to get a repairman to my home which took a few days. When they finally got there, they don't work on this type of unit even though I gave them the unit name and specs. I called back (since I didn't have heat) and asked if they were sending someone else.
Their response is, "As soon as we can get someone there." Needless to say, I called someone who confirmed it needed to be replaced. I called and sent their invoice. After repeated phone calls and emails I was told it was covered. Are they kidding? It's a 4 year old unit and it isn't covered. Would definitely NOT recommend. This company is the worst company I have ever done business with!! Stay Away!

The Contractor was great! Disappointed in the coverage. He said claim will be denied for faulty installation of venting by the seller who had lived there 8 yrs. The owner prior to them had installed it. I'm a Realtor and recommend the best plan to buyers to prevent costly after purchase issues. I will check to be sure if other HW companies would have covered this, but don't think I will recommend Choice.
