    Company Supervisor. Your company came recommended by a friend although we were considering another company. At this point we are NOT HAPPY and will ending our business with your company and going without initial choice for the below reasons: 1 March 2019 evening I contacted your office to report our water heater component was broken and requested service repair/replacement. Unbeknown to me, your customer service rep closed my request to repair citing 'not covered' but FAILED to inform me, the customer.

    I just so happened to check my email the following day, 2 March and noticed it was closed. I immediately called your company again and re-submitted the water heater claim. Realize that we are experiencing the Polar Vortex freeze and cannot survive without hot water. For your employee to close my initial claim without informing me is unacceptable and wreckless.

    2 March 2019 we finally received (late aafternoon) notification that we were scheduled for the service call on 4 March. I made arrangements to take a leave day from my employment to accommodate. On 3 March 2019 I received notification our appoint was moved to 5 March 2019. Again, this is NOT acceptable. This is our first experience with your company and it has included wreckless behaviour from the initial cust rep, denial of coverage, 2-day waiting period during a time repair was crucial, and finally reschedule and further extended repair time. This problem was mis-handled from my first call.

    Since getting this warranty, it's been an uphill battle to get you guys to pay for items. Most recently was my freezer repair. I called on a Monday. I did not get service till Friday. I was initially offered $349.99 to replace the freezer. The amount is about half the cost to get another freezer. I've since been offered $500 which is still insufficient. My understanding when I got the warranty was the freezer would be replaced if it couldn't be fixed. The agent that offered the $500 was rude as ever. I will not renew this warranty. It was a waste of my money.

    The contact phone # provided by CHW for the contractor was for a U-Haul company - so, I was unable to communicate with the contractor until they arrived at my house. The repair exceeded what CHW was willing to provide, so CHW opted that It is more cost effective to replace your Oven Stove Cooktop than to repair it...and offered me only half what my range was worth (I had a Kenmore priced at $600). When I was contacted by a case manager, I asked her how they came about the value of my range - they didn't figure the oven capacity or the features at all (I know you don't match brands). She then graciously offered 75% the value of my oven (out of the blue) - why wasn't the first offer? And asked if this would be okay, as if I had a choice?

    So now I have to replace my oven with your offer + another $100 out of my own pocket in order to match the same features of the oven that was covered. Here's my choice...I am already committed to CHW until summer of next year (unfortunately, I have JUST renewed my contract for 14 months...yaayy!), not renewing this contract again after that. I had just recommended CHW to 2 friends this past week - I let them see how CHW treated this claim, and they have both decided to go with a different home warranty company. Can't blame them - so will I next year.

    Terrible experience. Hopefully home warranty buyers will read this review and reconsider their decision with this company. I personally don't recommend them. My AC broke and has been diagnosed for low on refrigerant. The company responded saying that they don't cover the leak test and usually the leak is from corrosion or rust which HW also doesn't cover. If corrosion or rust is not covered why am I getting the warranty right? Anyway I had done the leak test and found out it was leaking from the valves at the condenser. They responded this time saying that the valve is an effective maintenance item and failure to keep up the maintenance per the manufacturer results this issue and they don't cover. :)

    They are doing everything to not cover the issue. The cost for the repair is $1900. They offered me $400 max to help with the repair. Now I am thinking if I should fight and and take it to the court or take the $400 and be done with them. I got the system repaired and was able to finance it 18 months with no interest which helped me a lot. I would not consider any home warranty company at all for any repairs. The appliances are cheap and all sellers offer financing, if something breaks just replace it and don't stress yourself with these potholes.

    Claims HandlingCoverageTech

    The whole point of paying for a home warranty plan is to help with repairs or replacement of an item when it fails. Our gas water heater needed to be re-lit every once in a while and several weeks ago, the pilot light was going out almost every day for a week. Finally, we could not get it lit and filed a claim CHW. They couldn't find anyone to come out (just like an electrical problem we had previously - we had to find our own electrician) so we called our plumber who came out to check it. He said it needed to be replaced and there was a very small amount of water under the heating coil and the coil itself was damp. This was a 19 year old water heater. Once he told CHW there was water, they said they don't cover the water tank itself and they don't cover any repairs due to leakage. What is the point of having the policy if they don't cover the replacement when needed? We are out $1,100 and will be canceling the policy asap.

    When I decided to go with Choice Home Warranty after being with another for 7 years I specifically asked if they cover Salt Water Pool systems. The individual stated they did. But after paying for a year upfront I have found that they only cover the pump motor and nothing else. The previous warranty covered it all. Since I use the same company for keeping my pool clean and running efficiently I will take a look around at the end of my contract based on how well CHW meets my needs based on their contract.

    It has now been 4 months since my an initial call and not of and has not been fixed to. The two service companies that you have sent to me have been very nice and very accommodating, however my job is still incomplete. The 1st service that came obviously ordered of the part, but quit your company before installing. The 2nd company you sent did not even know the initial problem and did not even have the part with him nor would your representative at your calling center give him the information on the part that was needed so it could be re ordered. Said he would return when he gets part. Despite all of this, I must compliment of representatives I have called because they have been very accommodating, it's just sad that the whole situation is not been coordinated better than it has.

    Buyer Beware. My first and only claim was denied because it was probably seen as a high dollars expense for CHW. My claim was for my air conditioning unit that was not working. The tech sent by CHW was good and he identified it as probably a faulty evaporator coil. He needed approval from CHW but told me not to hold my breath as CHW are known to find reasons for not honoring the claim. He showed me the report. CHW informed me that there was a slight rust and denied the claim. Subsequently another company informed me there was no rust. The claims manager was adamant and not very friendly.

    I had a contract with this company for approximately 5 years. I tried cancelling the contract several times beginning in 2016. When I spoke to anyone, I told them that their service was horrible. They sent out non professionals to do the work. The small print in their contract shows, they basically cover nothing that would break or need to be fixed or replaced!

    I spoke to several people and told them to cancel the policy, they told me I needed to speak to the next level of service they would connect me. They would disconnect the call! This happened every time! So I emailed them! No response, the emails were returned! I then put a stop payment on them with my bank. After approximately five months, I never heard a word from them, however, I did keep the stop payment with my bank since January of 2017. They did intermittently try to debit funds from my account, different amounts. There was absolutely no contact from them! I never contacted them, since as far as I was concerned the policy was not in effect.

    After two years, a company who was professional or actually reputable, would have reached out to me in writing to advise that my contract was cancelled due to non-payment, that my account was in arrears. Never heard a word! Last week, the company debited over $800 from my account without authorization. (The bank apparently removed the stop payment since there were no direct debits from the company in two years.) I called and spoke to an Ally at Choice Home Warranty and explained all of this to her. She contacted billing and then told me that the policy would be cancelled. I then receive an email in response to mine, that they cancelled said contract that they would not be issuing a refund because I owed them this money!!!

    As stated, a reputable company would have cancelled me a long time ago for not paying for two years! Ally admitted that she could see that I did not use their services. This company is a hoax and should not be used ever. The two times I contacted them, they sent out people that I was afraid to allow in my home! I am more than sure they were unlicensed as well! The last contractor told me he was from Jamaica and did not have a license he could produce for me. And to boot, the problems with the ice maker and the oven, of course were not covered!! A waste of money!!! Do not be taken by this so called reputable company!

    The multi-year policy I bought included a limited roof repair. When I tried to use the policy it became apparent my tile roof was not covered at all by the roof repair...only shingled roofs are covered. Why wouldn't the salesman know this before offering it? I live in the desert so it should have been obvious. Subsequent calls to the Sales and Resolution departments got me nowhere. My calls were never returned and a Resolutions Manager who was supposed to call me within 72 hours never returned the escalated request. Removing the limited roof repair from my contract did not reduce the cost to me for the 3 year plan. Choice maintained it was free when I signed up...yeah right, nothing at Choice is free other than bad service.

They kept $1,000 for doing almost nothing. They also lied and said I had 5 year contract in order to keep more of my money! I worked with Chase Visa to try to recoup my money and wasn’t able to because they lied about everything to them. They used fake screenshots of my purchase which I made on the phone! Please don’t get scammed by these thieves!!

    In numerous years I’ve had a grand total of 2 claims that cover multiple properties. The first they claim they don’t cover because it was most likely going bad prior to us buying the coverage. What?!? Eventually, after multiple phone calls and arguments they did cover it. It took about 2 weeks to handle a minor problem. Recently, our hot water heater went, took a week for someone to come out because all the companies they tried to book wouldn’t work with them due to payment issues, finally one comes out tells us he is reporting it needs replacing and should be covered. They claim not covered because they do NOT cover tanks. I’ve been told by other companies like AHW and 2-10 are great. Go with them. Do not flush your hard earned money with a company that will come up with any excuse not to cover it. Scam!!

    Two years ago when I first purchased my home and this warranty, one month later my furnace/AC went out. Choice Home Warranty refused to pay for the replacement, although it went out due to old age and not negligence in maintenance. Interesting enough, that happens to be their selling point - replacing a furnace unit is expensive but if you purchase a Choice warranty - you won't have to worry. Do not believe them! Find another company, ask friends and family who they use and how their service is.

    At the time of purchase, I selected the 5 year coverage plan and decided to try again. My garage door went out and they set up an appointment with a company from Illinois. They canceled and I ended up waiting a week for another company. This time, they attempted to convince the technician, who by the way was on time and efficient, to repair the garage door opener although he told them the unit was 23 years old and needed to be replaced! Needless to say the technician replaced the unit but Choice Home Warranty is refusing to pay for the replacement of the keypad. Although it won't work with the new unit and needs to be replaced, they have refused to pay for it. This company is misleading in how they present what is covered and paid for. I regret doing business with them and will make sure...

He failed to remove a knockout from the pipe to which you attached the waste line. As a result my dishwasher stopped working because it could not drain water. This resulted in another $75 call because the "One Good Plumber" said that he hadn't done anything to the dishwasher and refused to respond to my texts after that.
