    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 have been with Choice Home Warranty for over a year now, and I am very unhappy with the support I have received since I've been with them. I have two homes that are with the company, and between the two homes I have submitted maybe ten claims. Out of the claims I submitted two was a write off and maybe one fixed. There is always a reason as to why my claim can't be honored. I am so sorry for not checking the reviews, and now I'm stuck with another two years on this contract. I am paying for all my repairs out of pocket, and once this contract is over, I will not sign up with anyone else. Stay away from Home Choice Warranty, they will not fix anything for you.

    This home warranty is the worst choice you could select. They find any means possible to refuse meeting their obligations. This claim was for an AC unit that had failed. The contractor confirmed and CHOICE HOME WARRANTY DENIED the claim. They disregard you as a customer and delete your account as soon as you attempt a claim. Good luck if you choose this company.

    Because we were given a 11-3 pm window for our service technician, my husband waited at home all day for them to show. Once I called the technician, he said he was running behind, with no apology for our wasted time & no phone call to let us know he was running late. He showed up about 4:00-4:15 and was very courteous. Everything turned out fine in the end. This is NOT Choice's fault, but wanted to share.

    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.

An AC guy came but said he would have to come back, never came back. Paid $65 fee for them to come out. Asked if I can find my own repair guy to come and do repairs, they said yes and just file the claim later.

    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!

There was some difficulty noticed during removal. He installed new plate and saying he was done, left abruptly. The drawers and shelf was not reinstalled. We were to allow time to defrost the evaporator coils, which we were doing. While inspecting for defrosting it was noticed that the receptacle that the back plate sits in was cracked in two places on the corners.

    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.

    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!

    The appointment was timely and the service technician was very good and finished the job in a reasonable time. 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.

    I telephoned on 6/17/19 to request service on my gas range (burner wouldn't light). The claim was filed by CHW on 6/19/19 (why delay?). Told no service rep until 7/2/19 between the hours of 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. At 4:22 p.m. I called the service rep and he told me he wouldn't be coming that day but he could come on 7/5/2019 (after Fourth of July weekend). On 7/2/19 I called CHW & asked for another service provider. No one available but would hear from someone within 4-24 hours.

    On 7/11/19 reassigned to rep. Rep came, said he had to order part. Two weeks later, rep. came and said it could not be repaired as part was no longer available. 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.

We had CHW techs come out all summer to look at our AC that wouldn’t cool below 78 degree, eventually not cooling under 84 degrees by the time we called a company out on our own. 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. That’s when we called a company on our own which showed us right away our ac unit upstairs wasn’t working at all.

    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. They just said they apologized it wasn’t discussed. Lack of faith in them. Seems very shady.

    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.

    I wish I can give minus stars. Beware!! I don’t write reviews until I get consistence best or worst service. I am giving stars based on below experience I have over some time:

    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.

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!

    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.

    Experienced a failure of our Thermador Range/Oven - main oven not heating up. Submitted a claim to CHW, they assigned a Service Provider who later turned out to be a one man show and not at all familiar nor trained to service Thermador appliances. Since we incurred similar problem a few years back, I knew exactly what was the faulty part (High Temp Cut-out device), in essence I provided the solution on a silver platter for this technician. He ordered the part and came back to replace it. Did not test the Oven before he left, so later we discovered that while the oven was heating up, it was not reaching set temperatures.

    For 2 weeks tried to get this technician back to resolve the follow up problem. Failed to show up even after CHW set up an appointment. So CHW authorized us to get our own Service Provider. We did call a company that had previously serviced our appliances. A technician came up, he was not only factory trained but in actual fact he had worked at Bosch/Thermador, hence he was only just too familiar with this appliance. He immediately discovered that the previous Technician assigned by CHW had incorrectly wired this device and it also required resetting, which he did and tested the oven which functioned normally as it was designed to do.

    Now CHW refused to pay for the charges we incurred by bringing our own Service Provider stating that we should have obtained Pre Authorization before the Technician began his diagnosis and repairs. Incidentally, I did inform the Technician that he should call CHW Authorization Dept, but he said I need to find out what the problem is before I can speak to them.

    So CHW found easy to hide behind this technicality and refused to compensate us in the amount of $519 citing this excuse. I will not ever recommend this company to anyone for warranty coverage and I am cancelling the current contract 8 months ahead of time as I no longer have any faith in them honoring their obligations. Had they provided a factory trained Service Provider in the first place, we would have never had to deal with this issue that took a month to resolve, and eventually at our expense. Very Bad Company to deal with. Previous experience 2 years ago when our Microwave failed, they also refused to repair or replace and we had to pay for it ourselves, totally unreliable and a very bad example of a Business Operation.

    Original Review: Oct. 16, 2019

    I turned in a claim and had a tech come to the house to determine my Washing machine was more expensive to repair than replace. I received an email saying great news. After opening up the email I was offered $349.99 for a washing machine that has a current retail value of $999.99 and a sale value of $749.99. I declined the offer and was called by a claims specialist. She immediately offered $449.99. I explained that the unit can't be replaced for less than $749.99. I was told read section F15 in the contract so I have attached it ---> (F15. We reserve the right to offer cash back in lieu of repair or replacement in the amount of Our actual cost (which at times may be less than retail) to repair or replace any covered system, component or appliance.)

    The problem is that the actual cost is something they can't show me or prove. I explained that I can't replace the unit for the offered amount and that they can buy me one at their cost. They said they can't do that due to they chose to offer cash instead. They also said that they cost isn't available? How can this be? your offering me a settlement on something that isn't available? To me this is fraud. Just pull a number out of your head and say take it of leave it. I feel as if their policy is written to allow them to not replace my unit as advertised by offering me a cash settlement of a cost that they make up!

    After waiting for multiple people promising me they would get me help, the best they could do was 8 days away. So I found someone that came out in 2 hours. Then after I'm told the stoppage wouldn't be covered. Your phone staff interrupt and your policies are not clear.

    I went online as asked for home warranty quotes from 4-5 companies. I chose one and purchased said warranty. In the meantime, I have received at least 1 call a day (today I was called 5 times) from representatives from Choice Home Warranty regarding my quote request and selling a home warranty. I asked to be removed from their call list on no less than 4 occasions - I am hoping that my 2nd request today will be effective. Additionally, I have received no fewer than 2 emails from Choice Home Warranty EVERY DAY since I requested the quote. I have a call log full of ignored calls and an inbox full of emails. Even if they were the best option for a home warranty, I would not choose them - Why would anyone choose to be harassed? Don't give them any of your contact information, or you will never be able to get them to leave you alone!

    They will not repair a air conditioning unit for more than $375.00. If you fight they will offer $700. -- That's it! And replace a water heater, forget it. No matter what the service tech who actually looks at the unit tells them they say 1) you didn't properly maintain the unit and or 2) they say the unit shows signs of restriction. How here is the scam. If the compressor is not working you can't tell if the coils are restricted. They know that that why they say show signs. Stay clear, pay the extra money and go to American Home Shield.

    Updated on 10/21/2019: So read previous review "Abysmal and we got scammed" for context. After weeks of being treated pretty poorly by Choice warranty, they see my review here and offer to pay us 272.10 for the board. But they still won't talk to the technician who is advising that the board replacement if a temporary fix and the right thing to do is to have furnace replaced. Choice continued to stay adamant and I was left with no choice is to begin to the process of refuting credit card charges for the purchase of the warranty on the grounds of not delivering what they promised in the sales cycle. Also after reaching out to me with a paltry offer, they have gone awol again.

    I have further proof from literally every heating and cooling company I spoke to in the process of getting 2nd, 3rd opinion on my heater that Choice Home warranty is by far the worst of the lot. Being a national company they don't care for doing right by their customer since they have volume that makes up for their deplorable service. I was asked to choose local companies that do a much much much better job. I write this review in the hopes that more are warned and this company is forced to mend their ways.

    Original review: Based on the reviews here we bought our home warranty with Choice Warranty. They spoke big game during the sales part of our relationship and were pushing us hard on getting warranty with for 3-5 years. I am so thankful we stuck to our guns and said we will try with a year first. We bought the warranty in July and called them couple of weeks ago because our furnace was not starting up. They send a technician after a few follow ups and a few days. The technician assessed the situation that it needs a new control board because it is a 30 year old furnace. The warranty claims department denies the claim saying something super lame about dust on the control board when I have proof in the pictures the technician took that it was pretty clean!!!

    We have been services the furnace every year since we moved into the house. Choice Warranty was incredibly stubborn and refused to change their assessment and better still they did this even without talking to the technician; solely on their conclusion from the pictures. Further the technician itself told us that Choice is known for this sorta scamming behavior and not doing right by the customer. Please be warned never to use them. Their company doesn't have ethics and makes no qualms about being so.

    My GE dishwasher stopped working, contacted Choice Home Warranty, they arranged for a repair tech immediately. He came out and assessed the problem. Then Choice sent me an email stated they were replacing the unit, then the fun began. I was assigned a case manager because they offered me $179.99 as a pay out and I refused. My dishwasher was a higher end model costing minimum $400 to $500 plus tax plus installation. Case manager was rude with a superior attitude in our phone conversation. She offered $250 total stating the repair would cost $252. I said repair the unit, she said, "We aren't offering that."

    I said, "What about taxes and installation," she stated, "We don't cover that." She rudely repeated, "we have increased our offer from $179.99, that's all we're going to give you." I said, "The repair is $252, you're only GIVING me $250." Keep in mind I paid $1050 for this policy. This experience with their case manager was a total nightmare. Would not recommend Choice Home Warranty.

    Our a/c stopped working and Choice sent out their expert to check it out. He was confident that the repair was covered. I reviewed our policy and the condenser IS covered. They denied the claim saying it had overheated due to a blockage in airflow. Nothing ever blocked the airflow. I maintained the system and kept everything in good shape. On the worksheet from the mechanic they sent out, he wrote: "In good condition" when describing the system. When we challenged their decision, the rep said the decision was made by their "committee" and that there was no chance of a change in their decision.

    The rep checked to see if he could do anything for us and he said he couldn't because we had a claim earlier in the year for our range. It was covered, but they don't cover the replacement cost. They depreciate covered items, so if you want to have something replaced, plan on paying. Regarding the a/c, we spoke with a manager and got nowhere. We now have a new a/c WE paid $6,200 for. This company has been a real disappointment.

    Terrible service and coverage. Choice provides a false sense of security when providing insurance. I had a water heater go out on me. They sent out a technician who came out for 5 minutes or less and determine the issue was sediment damage by just taking a picture. I was informed this void out the warranty and I would be liable for 100% of the cost. Of course the contact who I could barley understand and was driving an unmarked white van offered to do it for "cheap" and give me a good deal.
