I turned in my request via the website on a Sunday night. Was contacted on Monday by Top Notch Plumbing to confirm appointment on Wednesday. Nick arrived during the 3 hour window and replaced my disposal without issue. I have used CHW 3 or 4 times since I signed up and have been happy enough to stay with them. They are the best value in the industry that I have found.

Toilet still leaks. Plumber came out to inspect, took my money and I haven't heard back from the Warranty company or the plumber. When my contract is up, I more than likely will not renew. This is the second time this has happened with both the warranty company and the same plumbing service.

Our furnace in our house in Pewaukee, WI broke sometime in the early morning of 1 Jan 2019. When we woke up it was 48 degrees in the house. I figured since it was New Years Day I would not be able to get it fixed. I went online to Choice Home Warranty, put in my policy number and within two hours had a very knowledgeable Furnace Tech at my house. 2 hours later an entire new blower unit was installed and heat was flowing. When he was done the Furnace Tech looked at his paperwork and said, "You owe nothing due to my zero deductible Choice Home Warranty plan." Absolutely could not be happier with Choice Home Warranty company. Great Company. I would highly recommend them.

In December 2013, I purchased a home warranty service contract with Choice Home Warranty. The home warranty service contract covered the appliances at my home. I purchased the Total Plan coverage which included coverage of the air conditioning unit. I have been paying the contract amount every month from December 2013 to date (up to and including October 2018).
On or about September 4, 2018, I contacted Choice Home Warranty to request service for my air conditioning unit as it was not cooling or turning on. Choice Home Warranty notified me via email that a service technician with Air Champs would be at my home. The technician arrived on September 6th and after inspecting my unit advised that my unit was completely out of refrigerant. He advised me that in order to determine the cause of the loss of refrigerant, he would need to perform a leak test. The leak test would cost $250.000 in addition to the $45.00 service fee. I contacted Choice Home Warranty and was advised that they do not pay for this testing and that I am required to pay for the test in order for them to be able to make a decision about whether to service/repair my unit.
I paid the $295.00 fee. The technician performed the leak test and determined that the air conditioning coil was leaking because it had multiple holes in it. He advised me that the unit was 16 years old and the holes were the result of normal wear and tear on the system. The technician contacted Choice Home Warranty and advised them that the unit needed to be replaced and the cause of the malfunction of the unit was the air conditioning coil and that the malfunction was the result of normal wear and tear. I was in the room when he was talking to them. He had the representative on the speaker phone and I could hear him tell them the malfunction was the result of normal wear and tear.
The representative advised me that they were denying my claim. The basis of the denial was that the coil became corroded and/or rusted causing the malfunction and that they do not cover malfunction due to rust or corrosion. I appealed the denial of the claim this was clearly contrary to what their technician had advised.
Four days later, on September 10, 2018, I was contacted by Christina ** with Choice Home Warranty. During this time, my children and I are living in a home without air conditioning. Christina ** advised that she would assigned to my claim and that the claim was denied and the decision would not be changed. I informed her that their technician had advised me that the cause of the malfunction was normal wear and tear of the 16 year old unit. She said that the technician was no longer one of their preferred technicians and that we couldn’t go by his inspection. When I protested that the denial of my claim was not supported by the inspection, she advised me that she would send out another technician to examine the unit.
At this point, it had been one week since my unit stopped working and my two children and I were suffering in a hot home. Choice Home Warranty initially could not find another company to inspect the unit. Finally, on Thursday, September 13, 2018, the second technician examined the unit. He also found that the unit was without refrigerant. He contacted Choice Home Warranty to get authorization to perform a leak test which was necessary to diagnose the cause of the problem. Choice Home Warranty refused to authorize the test.
I contacted Christina ** the following day and she stated that it was not necessary to perform the leak test. She said that the technician did not need to determine the cause of the malfunction as it was clear the unit malfunctioned due to rust. So even though Christina ** said that the opinion of the prior technician could not trusted, she was relying upon his assessment that the coil was rusted but NOT his assessment that the cause of the holes in the coil was due to normal wear and tear. She advised that the claim was denied and she would not change the denial. She offered to "help" me by letting me buy a new unit from Choice Home Warranty and to pay their technician for installation. I declined.
I filed a complaint with the Consumer Protection Agency of my state's Attorney General's Office. In their response to my complaint, Choice Home Warranty lied to them and said they offered me $1775 in equipment and offsets to replace the unit. This company is deceptive in its practices and dishonest. What is the point of having a home warranty plan that I pay every single month if they don't cover repairs when needed. I will never use this company again and will recommend to everyone I come into contact with not to use this company.

I contacted Choice following several attempts to unjam the Garbage Disposal Unit. Booked the service online and received a response the same day stating who would respond to the claim.

I had two (3 year) warranties through Choice Home Warranty on each of our homes in Georgia. When I had an HVAC issue at my home in August I called to see if the issue was under warranty. In order for that to be determined they sent an HVAC company go out to assess the issue. They did not cover the cost of the repair but the company they sent out gave me the best price of the 4 companies from which I got estimates so I hired them to do the install.
The company turned out to be a complete fraud. They installed a unit that was supposed to be new with warranties that was actually 3 years old with no warranty. Once I realized the unit was not what it was supposed to be I had to make a fraud claim through American Express to try to recoup my money and in the process of all the investigating I found out that they are not licensed in Georgia to do business and that they failed to get a permit or an inspection from the county for their work.
Consequently, Columbia County has brought charges against the owner, who did my work, and I have been summoned to court as a witness for the county in their case against this business. I can't get anyone of substance with Choice Warranty to speak with me about this issue so I'm hoping you can get someone to contact me or to at least not to send fraudulent people to unsuspecting customer's homes!

I have been having issues with my filed claim #**. Please read the transcript of the emailed questions and responses. I filed a claim in good faith. I assumed my furnace had a bad thermostat because my system was not keeping a constant temperature. CHW dispatched Intermountain Heating & Air. The diagnosis is attached. This was ignored by your approval process. I feel I have an unsafe gas furnace operating in my home. I will not leave running unless I am in my house. The furnace had flames flash when the burner would start up. The flames hit the first technician in the face!
On 1/8/2019 I called to get an explanation of why the first diagnosis was ignored and another technician was dispatched. The customer service rep. refused to give me answers. I asked to speak to a supervisor and he gave me an address only. I asked if he had a direct supervisor and he said, "No, I work for corporate." I asked for his name and what department I was to contact. As you will see on his response, he removed his name and only gave me an address. I have been told that the thermostat is authorized to be replaced but this has yet to happen.
The new technician has yet to put it on their schedule. The new technician, Plew Heating & Air are not authorized to fix any problems with flames coming from the system. I can't get an answer to why my claim has been closed when nothing has been resolved except you have two different diagnosis. Intermountain Heating took every panel and did a complete diagnostic. Plew Heating only started the system, took only the panels off in front of the heating element. No diagnostic evaluation done.
I want to know the following: the name of the representative that gave terrible customer service on the direction from someone above him? The name of his direct supervisor? Why my claim closed with no resolution? How many diagnosis are you required to get before you accept the results? Are you allowed to ignore a diagnosis from a authorized technician? Please email the answers to my email; **.

I purchased a home warranty thru Choice and was even told it didn't make any difference in the age as long as it was working. At the time my warranty was for three years at a cost of approximately 1000.00. About 14 months later my air conditioner stopped working and I called Choice. They sent someone out to look at the air conditioner and said the air conditioner was rusted due to age and wasn't under warranty. I tried to get them to pay something on it since they had originally told me age didn't matter but never received one penny from them so I canceled my contract and was given back 150.00. This company is nothing but a joke. You're better off to keep your money and pay for repairs because that's what will happen anyway.

I put in claim in for broken washer, the claim was quickly assigned to tech, I was given 4 hour time slot. I waited at home but the tech never showed up or called. I contacted Choice and the claim was put back out in their system, I waited a day. The claim was never reassigned so I found a repairman to come out. He gave estimate with washer needing over $500 in parts but could be much more. He was not able to handle repair because it was so extensive.
I then contacted Choice and they said that another rep would need to come out so they again but in their system it was assigned quickly to another tech but again I waited 4 hour window and they never showed up. I called them. They weren't even open on the Saturday that the claim was assigned to them. So again claim put back in system. Waited another day never picked up by a tech so I called in and after waiting on hold for over half hour was offered money to settle claim or I could again wait for another tech. I took the money but need to wait 30 days for them to send it. In the meantime I have replaced the washer.
When I signed up for this warranty I was told by salesman that I would never have to find my own tech and most claims have tech assigned quickly, this was not my experience. We will keep this warranty for this year but probably will not renew. I do have to say that every representative from Choice was very helpful and handled all of my calls. Even when I was frustrated they were very professional and empathetic which is the only reason I will give this warranty company another chance.

I filed a claim for my hot water heater not working. You weren’t able to find a technician to come out in a timely manner so I had to call someone who could come out right away since we had been out of hot water for 3 days.

After several calls for service I have come to the realization that this company does NOT care about its customer, PLAIN AND SIMPLE. This is clear to me by my adamant request that a particular technician (company) NOT be allowed to accept my work order continued to be ignored. After advising Choice on SEVERAL occasions that this company is NOT licensed in the state of NJ to perform work, time and time again they sent this technician to my home.
But then when I call Choice to tell them I want a different technician assigned to my work order I get a COMPLETE runaround and excuses. With them finally putting my work order back out for bid, hence taking another 24 to 48 hours. All the while I have ZERO HEAT IN MY HOUSE. Choice Home Warranty is a complete joke. Oh and not to mention they actually have a cap on how much they will pay for a particular item before they cancel your contract and refund your money. Talk about a false sense of security. If you are thinking about using this company...DONT!

Service repair request for plumbing has been a nightmare. Quick to come out to see and take pictures of problems and collect the service fee then leave stating they have to wait for ok from Choice Home Warranty before they can come back to do repair. That was 1/2/19. Then Friday 1/4/19 I was told they would be out by Monday 1/7/19. Then Monday I got a call stating they would be out Wednesday 1/9/19. I had wet towels used to mop up floor and rugs that got wet from toilet overflowing twice. I put them in the washer waiting for plumbing to be fixed because when I ran my dishwasher it backed into my tub and stall shower and I didn't want that to happen again if I ran the washer.
So after 2 days the towels were smelling. So I filled the washer with hot water and added laundry soap and bleach. Well this loaded washer has been sitting for a week now. I can't believe they don't do a repair quicker than this. My towels are probably rotted from sitting in bleach water so long. How can they think this is good customer service to have a customer be waiting a week for a plumbing repair. What kind of home warranty service is that? They asked me to rate so here is my rating. TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE TURN AROUND TIME. Here is the rating you asked for.

HVAC quit heating while under this warranty. I thought maybe it was something minor so living in a small town I called the company who had installed the system when the house was new. That gentleman came by and did not charge me for a service call but told me that the coils had gone bad and all the Freon had leaked out. According to him they had had a lot of problems with the coils manufactured by a certain company. He said he would try to get the coils covered under warranty which was somewhere around 7 $800. I called the warranty company and explained the situation and said that I could get probably get the coils covered under the warranty from the manufacturer if they could get the labor taken care of. The lady I spoke to said that they would have to do all the work including replacing the coils and the expense of the coils. I stated that didn't make a lot of sense if they could save $700 or 800.
I was referred to a resolution manager named Sam. I had been without heat for three days and was very cold out and I explained the situation to Sam and he said, "When can the guy come and fix it?" and I said, "The parts are in and he could come tomorrow." Sam said, "Go ahead and have him come and fix it. Call me in the morning and let me know what the amount is going to be and send me a copy of the invoice tomorrow as soon as the work is done." I did exactly what I was told and Sam was not available but I gave the amount to another resolution manager and he said fine - he would give that information to Sam and to go ahead.
As soon as the work was finished I sent a copy of the invoice which is 600 some bucks to the warranty company. 2 weeks later they contacted me and said they couldn't open the attachment. I resent the information again and two weeks later they contacted me and said they couldn't open the attachment again. I said that same sort of funny because I sent the same email to my wife's email and she could open it fine. So for the third time I sent the information by another source to them. A week or so after that I got a call from young lady who said that the claim was being totally denied because I didn't have prior approval. I explained to her the whole situation and what I was told to do and the fact that I had done exactly what I was told to do and was told that it would be covered. She told me that resolution managers couldn't make any determination on whether or not something would be covered or not.
I said that seems funny. The name resolution seems like they could probably do something. She turned the claim down totally and then she started bargaining with me and said, "Well I maybe I can send you $100." I said, "I was trying to be the good guy and keep you guys from spending an extra seven or eight hundred dollars and instead you guys are trying to screw me out of $500." Since that date I have spoken to three more resolution managers and I have received nothing for this claim. I would certainly not recommend this company to my worst enemy.

My repair as stated on my Request for Repair said "Garage Door Remote". I needed my Garage DOOR repaired. The company Choice chose for my repair was about 55-60 miles from my home! I can't see how the company chosen could possibly make any money with that far a trip for them. I would suggest to Choice to look for zip codes closer to the area being serviced.
The repair needed for my garage door needed to be ordered. The wait time may be as long as 3-5 days (not Choice's fault). However, I am 79 years old, live alone and need my car for appointment, shopping, etc. I certainly do not like to leave my car on the street. Again, not Choice's fault. I can only hope that the repair person is able to order the correct part on his phone immediately... Is this the case? This repair, if and when completed, will cause the repair company to travel at least 200 miles. I am hoping this is not the only garage door repairer in the Phoenix AZ area! I'm sure my door will be repaired. However, I think Choice needs to choose repair companies in the vicinity of the repair. Thanks for listening.

Choice Home Warranty is well known for their low price. What they are also known for is trying to get out replacing/ repairing and/ or negotiating a lower price for what they already cover. I'm a 22 year licensed real estate agent. I've reviewed home warranty contracts over and over and over. I personally chose Choice Home Warranty because they negotiated with me to purchase a 3 year home warranty, priced over $1000 in exchange for repairing only the fan motor on my A/C Condensing unit. I won't get into it in detail, but on a second call for the repair/replacement of my dishwasher going bad they wanted to replace my expensive dishwasher that I paid $1800 with a $300 low end unit. Again, I had to settle with a unit that was less than $500 with far less power and features as my original unit, not to mention it no longer matches any other appliances I own. I dealt with it and moved on.
This leads me to 12.30.18, the WATER HEATER bursts. This is probably why many of my clients get a home warranty, but this also happens to your trusted real estate agents, like myself, who are consumers just like you. So, Choice Home Warranty is called to the rescue and their service provider Plumber comes out and says the entire water needs replacement there's a leak somewhere in the unit and it's not repairable. Plumber contacts the Choice Home Warranty and they say they will not cover it, end of story. Plumber voluntarily said Choice Home never cover water heaters. I was taken back. Excuse me!! The first thing that went through my mind was, Why did I even call Choice Home Warranty? And why did the plumber not tell me they probably won't cover the unit if it's leaking from inside the tank? The plumber's answer was, "we wouldn't get calls from the home warranty company if we did that".
According to Section D6 of the Service Agreement, excluded are Holding and Storage Tanks. They keep it real vague so they can screw you on this. Please understand a Holding and Storage is not the water heater by any plumbers opinion or other reputable Home Warranty Companies. I've contacted the 5 top Home Warranty Companies and our local area representatives and all said the same. The water heater is separate from a Holding & Storage Tank. That makes sense. In Nevada where I am located I don't see too many Holding and Storage Tanks unless you're located on a large property or a luxury home that has special requirements. I'm live in a 3 bed/ 2.5 bath, 1500 sq ft. home. A humble home with only one water heater in the corner of my garage. Holding and Storage Tanks, I don't even know what they are.
Spoke to a Kianna first and she sounded like a robot reading from a script as I calmly asked why they don't cover it. Asked her really non trivial questions on how they define D6 of the Service Agreement, because nowhere do I see why it's not covered. I ended up escalating to a Manager at another site location. The manager, Andy, had no idea who Kianna was but seemed like Andy is the person where you stop because he's the guy that really enforces the "NO it's not covered" portion of the policy. See on page 3 of the Contract it clearly states the WATER HEATER is covered, which is just below the $1050 I spent for the policy. Seems clear as day that it's covered right? But let's read on, Page 8, Section D #6 it says "All components and parts, including circulating pumps, except:
EXCLUDED: Access - insulation blankets-pressure reducing valves- Sediment build up - Rust and corrosion - Main, Holding Storage tanks - vents and flues - Thermal expansion tanks - Lowboy and/or Squat water heaters - Solar Water Heaters - Solar components - Fuel, holding or stage tanks - Noise - Energy management systems - Commercial Grade equipment and units exceeding 75 gallons - Drain pans and drain lines - tankless water heaters. Here are the components of a gas water heater: The Tank, Dip Tube, and Discharge Pipe. The biggest component to your gas water heater is the tank. The Gas Burner and Assembly. With a gas water heater, the heat source is a gas burner. The Exhaust Flue... The Pressure Relief Valve and the Drain Valve.
Take note that nothing is covered with a Water Heater they claim to say they cover, but don't and they will try to tell you that what the plumber says is not covered. Of those 5 home warranty companies I've mentioned previously, all have the same language for water heater. And, all cover water heaters when water leaks or in need of repair with the exceptions of any extra added permitting as most water heaters need anyway. In addition, it was confirmed I had not rust or corrosion either so again, why isn't my water heater covered under my policy.
You will find yourself calling customer service and denying the water heater is not covered. They will listen to you complain and they will confirm and hold to their absolutely vague policy that if the water heater is leaking from the actual unit then it's not covered. A water heater is one unit, if it leaks from the unit itself and not from some exterior connection like gas or water lines there's almost a 100% chance you have to replace the water heater. Do not buy a home warranty from Choice Home Warranty.

Bottom line the guy should have never taken it down if they don't cover it. Now I have a opening in the 14 ft ceiling. NEVER WOULD I RECOMMEND HOME CHOICE WARRANTY. What a rip off. They will appease you with a free call at no charge. Does not mean anything if they don't respond quickly and leave a mess if they have someone show up. By the way, the company they sent out had a failing BBB rating!!!

I filed for a service request and some people came out charged me 45.00$ and left, and then I got EMAILS from Choice Home Warranty saying that (duct work under the home has collapsed and requires replacement), "We are not responsible for collapsed ductwork." I'm supposing it's not a part of the air conditioning system, but this is also in my contract. Includes: clothes dryer, clothes washer, refrigerator, air conditioning system, heating system, water heater, electrical system, plumbing system, plumbing stoppage, built-in microwave, oven/range, stove, cooktop, dishwasher, garbage disposal, ceiling & exhaust fans, ductwork, garage door opener, Whirlpool bathtub.

The entire claim process from request for service to the service call was an effortless process. Focusing in on the company sent, Potts Plumbing, to fix my drain problem, they were fantastic. The receptionist, Lynn I believe was her name, was so friendly and she was sympathetic to me having this problem during the holidays and despite the short holiday week would try and work me in on Friday but more likely it would be Monday. The guys that came Monday were great, friendly & since it was raining they laid cardboard by the front door in addition to the kitchen floor. In no time my drains were running freely and they did double checks and explained how far they had snaked the line and gave me suggestions to maintain the drains. Thanks Potts Plumbing!!

The technician who came to my house was wonderful and he discovered why my dishwasher caused water damage to my house. It’s Choice policy that I have a problem with because my product is defective and Choice is trying to get out of fixing the defective parts.

If you have something simple go like an ice maker or simple repair on a washer or dishwasher, they will cover it. Wait until a hot water tank goes. They won’t cover it. They won’t replace a tank. They grind for a band aid fix. They are no different than any other shady company. Wait until you pay your monthly fee for a year then need them to cover and they won’t. You’ll wish you then had the money to cover the appliance that went. Stay away from them. They lie.

I am totally dissatisfied with Choice Home Warranty and would encourage anyone to choose a different home warranty company! This is the third time I have had to have a repair person come out to attempt to fix my washing machine and it is still not working! Attempts to speak to someone in the company have fallen on deaf ears. Choice was told back in April the unit should be placed, however Choice chose to ignore the advice and I have been left with a machine that works briefly and then requires more repairs costing me $45.00 each time a repair person comes out.
As of today I do not have a working washer and have no idea when I will have! Choice home warranty owes me $90.00 for two service calls that should not have been necessary, a new stackable unit that is hooked up and functioning and the disposal of the defective unit. Anything less than that is unacceptable! I advise anyone looking for a reliable home warranty company to run from Choice! I will absolutely NOT renew my contract and will tell everyone I know about my experience!

Very bad company. Be careful. Do not listen to the salesman. The company warranty policy claim covers water heater. But exclude 95% conditions that will fail the water heater. So basically, you will not get covered. It is like a cheating. They do not cover any water heat leaking, fail due to built up... Tons of conditions they do not cover.

The tech came to fix the refrigerator. He couldn’t fix it and told me somebody else will come next day. So, another tech showed up, he said the refrigerator needed a sensor, everything else was working fine. Now Choice Home Warranty tells me it needs a new ice maker, a new control board. I think your tech is a scammer. He’s probably trying to charge for parts that don’t need. You also deal with incompetent and inefficient techs. I’m not happy with your services. I want all the money I paid back. I’m entering bad reviews about Home Choice Warranty.

Friend recommended Choice so I signed up for rental unit. Friend later quite disappointed himself with Choice. Oven gas valve broke in rental house. Called Choice. Long story short; took them almost 2 weeks. During the downtime, Tenant family (3 kids) had NO OVEN! I called Choice repeatedly; they talk nice - but no sense of urgency. I escalated to their "resolution" dept. They are trained to talk calmly and pacify client - but no action. I expressed strong disappointment. They didn't seem to really care. I understand if you try to cancel policy, you get very little money back. I would actually rate them "0" if possible.

Choice has a great "sales pitch". They tell you all the great benefits and value for money. The backend process is flawed. The companies they hired, the claims reps, the management, and so on just do not care about fixing the issue. They have zero proactivity, zero follow-up, and zero customer service communication. If you sign with them, please do not think repairs will get done consistently.

I called to report my dryer, I gave the error code which indicates the issue. I was under the impression my dryer would be FIXED when the technician came, not just verify the problem and submit a report for approval. So I'm still without my dryer. Technician was nice but he didn't give me a business card or show ID. I just feel that the operator that took my claim should have told me that the first visit was just a verification. She was very quick to tell me I would need to be prepared to pay the service fee/deductible but not that my dryer would not be fixed. So I'm still waiting for the next appointment that HOPEFULLY will fix my dryer. I could have done by ordering parts on Amazon and watching YouTube video by now! But thought I'd use my warranty because that's why I bought it!

Well the first assigned technician never showed. That was assigned and was told to wait 24 hours to see if Jeffery ** would show.

Choice told me about their other option to have a call a tech myself and have so I called my own and they came right out. My only problem is that my reimbursement check is 69 dollars short because I was only was paid back for the part minus the 60 deductible.

After I sat home all day waiting for someone to come, I called them to see if that person was coming and I was told, "No we don’t repair icemakers. They are not covered under the warranty."

First the good points… Choice Home Warranty responds very well and promptly to service calls. Additionally, the service technicians are prompt, courteous and have the technical expertise needed to fairly assess the situation. They also promptly report the results to CHW and CHW responds rapidly, usually within 24 working hours.
Now for the disappointments… This service call resulted in CHW determining a replacement of my electric range was less expensive than the repair. Initially I received an email offer for a $349 cash settlement that was less than half of what a equivalent replacement item would cost. I declined the cash settlement then the real frustration started. I soon received a call from the CHW representative assigned to this claim and she immediately said that all that they can offer only offer the initial low settlement which I previously refused and pushed me to settle for that using claims and quoting the contract and also stating that CHW does not actually arrange to replace the item and that the offered amount was what CHW would pay for the like replacement because CHW does not buy retail as I would have to.
She also said that the unit was 20 years old (it was actually about 15 years old) and was insinuating that the replacement should be pegged to the value of the item back over 15 years ago. So, I said that, if HCW can do better on the price for an equivalent replacement please do so and arrange for delivery and installation. She refused to do this again stating CHW doesn’t actually replace the item, that the consumer has to do so. Thus, I pressed for a better settlement telling her that, if it was required that I replace the item, I would have to buy retail and CHW policy provides for an equivalent replacement and it costs double the offered cash.
She kept going over the same comments refusing to address the actual replacement of the item and its actual replacement costs. She frustrated me greatly and I was becoming angry… I told her so and asked to speak to her supervisor. She said there were no supervisors. I asked to speak the Vice President in charge of her section and she seemed to ignore this request. She then cut me off and said that she could only go up to $589. I thought it over and given the frustrating 15 minutes with her I accepted.
She placed me on hold for about 5 minutes and came back telling me the money would be sent in about 30 days. I asked for this in writing and she refused say the conversation was recorded. I tried to insist having this $589 settlement in writing and this was entirely to no avail and I thanked her and hung up. Even with this offer I will be out of pocket around $200. What kind of games is CHW playing and what kind of replacement coverage is this and why such poor customer service???
