Great agent service. Services were explained well. Price for services offered is very reasonable. No hassle with agent regarding any topic or need that I have. Much better warranty than I have had for the past three years. Highly recommend this company. Also have a referral program that benefits me.

Recently purchased Choice Home Warranty & wanted to use it for 1st time today for a plumbing problem. Got an email from them saying they are unable to find a plumber in my area. Really?? There are many plumbers in West Des Moines area. I can find my own & call them for approval & they will reimburse me. Don't think I trust them to do that. Not impressed with this service!!
We regret to hear that were not satisfied with the service provided Ms. Moore. We are glad to report that this matter has been resolved. A Consumer Advocate will contact you directly to further address your concerns.

I just switched from Fidelity Home Warranty to Choice 2 months ago! While with Fidelity, I called in a repair on my Refrigerator Ice Maker, and one on my clothes dryer. My dryer took 3 days to fix and my ice maker dragged out for two weeks with repeated phone calls and complaints. My service calls amount were 75.00 dollars each and each time I called, it was if I was annoying them! BIG difference with Choice! These guys jumped on kit, had my washer fixed within 24 hrs, and my service call out of pocket was dramatically lower!

It's useless. Every time something's broke they deny the claim for 1 million reasons. My AC fan broke, and they deny. It's because it was due to lack of maintenance. I'm not a handyman and that's the primary reason why I have home warranty. So if I'm going to pay for maintenance yearly. Why would I need warranty. I paid 1k+ to Choice Warranty that went down the drain.

Very rude and inconsiderate team of people. The supervisor named Brad very rude and demanding. Talked down on me. Changed his words on offers, said would not cover cost for replacing water heater only for cheep tubings they may cover. He then offered me a check of 250 dolllars. Not even half the price of water heater. I asked for refund as I just paid for policy two days before and I am new owner of the house and my first time policy with this company. He refused to pay me back my full refund according to new agreement of policy. I should been getting my full money back. When asked for full refund he said I don’t deserve my money back. He offered me back 280 dollars back from my 375 dollar for no service they provided.
They are like people force you down to your throat and as demanding to stay with them for their cheapskates. I really disappointed with their service. They should be reported to Better Business Bureau. I cannot believe how he treated me and later when my husband called them they kept changing their words. The lady on the phone with my husband was very rude and she hung up on me. The guy named brad also hung up on me. They are a manipulative cooperation after your money. Deceptive service agreements. They don’t cover most almost 90% or more of the damages, if they cover it barely cost them 59-100 dollars worth, that is how they have your money. Would not ever recommend anyone to this company. Choice home warranty what a joke!!

The plumber was very thorough and systematic in trying to find the location of my leak. I told him I didn't think it was the toilet that was leaking and caused my water bill to skyrocket, as I didn't hear any sound. But he insisted and took off the tank covers for all 4 toilets and he found it in the last one. He then changed the part that needed replacement and the leak stopped. I was so relieved. He did a great job! The turn around time was less than 24 hours.

Although the repairman called ahead and showed up on time, he ran out of 410a which delayed the process over an hour while he left to get more 410a and have lunch. Also, it was a long and difficult process reaching a person from Low Country's Best Heating and Cooling to confirm my appt.

I requested service on my Air Conditioner, but the claim was denied. They told me service or maintenance is not covered. I have complete coverage, I think the yearly recommended service, maintenance, should be covered. I had the impression complete coverage meant just that. But I found out it doesn't. They told me they would be happy to schedule a tech to come out, but it would not be covered and I would have to pay the entire cost. They didn't even tell me what that cost would be. I don't think this is good business. BEWARE.

I called Choice on March 25th for a leaking dishwasher. An appointment was set for April 1st. The contractor Ray One LLC was late. He said the "bowl" was leaking and it is expensive to fix and that I should have an answer from Choice on the 2nd. It is now the 9th and still no response. I called Choice on the 5th and they told me they were taking the diagnosis over the phone from Ray while I was on the phone, they lied. I called on the 9th and their response was that they couldn't get in touch with Ray but claimed they spoke to him on the 5th. They refused to return the $60 fee and now I have to wait for them to send out another tech 6 days from now. Avoid using Choice for a home warranty. I will be cancelling this policy as soon as this claim is done. Don't waste your time with them.

I am not satisfied with the status of my oven. The light will not stay on; the bulb blows out right away. Repairman replaced the computer panel, then came again when that did not solve the problem and tested the outlet and said I needed a special light that pulled less electricity. That is not an acceptable answer to the problem. A normal, appliance light bulb ought to suffice. This stove/oven is very old and on its last leg. It has never operated properly in the time I have lived here.

Never use Choice Home Warranty. Do not ever use “Choice Home Warranty” as a home warranty company. On 04/13/17 I purchased a contract until 04/13/23 for $1,977.50 with a $45.00 deductable. In 08/17 I made a claim for a dimmer light switch. Their technician was a no show, I had Mr. Electrical fixed it and “Choice Home Warranty” refunded a set amount. Then in 06/18 my upstairs toilet was leaking and did not flush, “Choice Home Warranty” scheduled Master Mechanical LLC to fix the problem, their technician collected $45.00, tighten the tank too tight and broke the tank. He stated he need to get approval to replace the toilet. "It will hold tonight," 45 minutes after he left water was coming from the ceiling under the toilet. I called “Choice Home Warranty.” They said they did not waive a repair order. The tech did not file one. I had Eco Plumbers replace the toilet.
“Choice Home Warranty” pay the cost, they did try to charge me the $45.00 copay I paid to Master Mechanical LLC. Then in 04/19 my dishwasher broke. I called “Choice Home Warranty.” They set up an appointment 04/08 11 am until 3pm ****no show again. I called at 3:42 and wanted my prorated amount back. 1st lady after hold said co. out of business, told her give me back my money or replace my dishwasher. She put me on hold and got a supervisor who said no refund. They have spent around $1,100.00 on my repairs and 25 months prorated leave no refund. She said can have tech here at 6 pm tomorrow. I said, "No. Waited all day today. She said they will give me $179.99 for a new dishwasher. What choice do I have.

I was tempted to have three years contract with the company in November 2018. After three months my water heater was leaking. I called the company and they sent a technician and he advised me to have a new one and the total estimate for replacement was $1500/, but the company refused to pay instead they offered me only $300/and asked me to review service agreement. I immediately cancelled my contract and got a refund of only $813/, So I ended up with a loss of $237 and $45 for technician fee within three months only. Really it is a scam and crook. My advice to the people beware of this company and read their agreement before signing up.

So my first claim I made was my hot water tank. Y’all did not fix it. It had to be replaced. I was told it was old. Second claim was my garage door opener. It makes a very loud noise and I know there’s a problem....but because the door still went up and down, the repairman said y’all would not fix nor replace. I literally threw away $60! I still have the horrible noise! I’m considering dropping my policy. Maybe I didn’t read the fine print. Appliances covered can not be old. Appliances can not be fixed or replaced until they die....but my hot water tank did die....hmmm.

It took 5 months to finally reach a settlement on our maytag dryer. 5 different repairmen, each time then having to wait another week or two for parts, then after installing parts, dryer breaks down again—on and on and on. Now after 5 months a 5 repairmen, they tell us parts are no longer available and we reach a settlement only because we are tired of being without a dryer.
Original Review: April 6, 2019
Over 4 to 5 months our dryer continues to stop working. We have had 5 repairmen, at least 6 different parts shipped taking 1 to 2 weeks for each part to arrive and then the repairman had to schedule a return. Finally this week we were offered a buyout which was probably a fair offer. However, to wait 4 to 5 months and we are still without a working dryer and now much wait another month for the buyout money seems very problematic. Whatever the appliance breakdown, no one wants to wait 6 months for a solution. I believe after the second service call and the dryer still was not working someone should have been involved to solve our dryer problem quickly but no one seemed concerned.

I got the info and e-mailed it. I was told it would be a week and I would hear from CHW. I didn’t, so called again and was told I would get an answer in two days. I e-mailed the info again. Didn’t hear, so called again and was told I’d hear within 2 hours. I waited and called again.
This time I talked to the 5th person and was told I could e-mail again but wouldn’t matter, they had to have the info before work was done. I explained I was never told that. She revised all the calls and agreed yes I was never told that. She said, "Sorry but that’s the way it is". I wasted many hours e-mailing info several times and many long phone calls on hold.

I filed a claim for my dryer to be repaired. The first tech did not come see the dryer to service it. He just called and assumed he knew the problem. He lied about when he was coming as if my time was not valuable. The $45 was waived but nobody bothered to tell him so when he did finally show up he refused to service the dryer and left. So the job was reassigned to another tech who does not even service dryers!!! Nothing has been done to resolve this. So then I was told by a "manager" that he was going through dispatch to speed up the process. I got an email today 4-5-19 saying an appointment is scheduled for 4-17-19!!

I have had two claims. Neither one want well. When I originally signed up, I asked if there was ever a problem and they needed to replace it, what would they replace it with. I was told the same make and comparable features. That was a full out lie I was told by sales rep. Also was not impressed with the way claims are scheduled and one took a week to come out with a wide time frame. Glad I didn’t take the year long plan. Looking at other companies or will not do a plan because this was more hassle and definitely didn’t protect my investment. Plan is worthless and will not recommend to others.

My built in microwave oven (Over the range) would not heat and Choice Home Warranty (CHW) were unable to send a tech for 2 days then I hired one from a website. They gave me an estimate; but CHW decided to replace instead of repairing the unit. it was determined that I needed a magnetron and capacitor to make it work. The appliance is 13+ years old, but I feel it can be repaired.
They initially offered $169 as the replacement cost towards the new microwave that costs approximately $399.00 (GE website). When I decline their offer the case was transfered to a claim manager for review and I end up getting service call reimbursement. (I paid 44 more than my service call charge on CHW contract) + 200 = 244. and I will end up paying around 400 for the unit plus any installation/haul away old unit/shipping. Most store ship them and if it is less than certain amount I need to pay shipping as well.
Feel like it is bad idea to have a warranty if they cannot fix it. I bought warranty for peace of mind, If I have to search for tech/shop for a new one/do installation then it is better save some money in an separate account for new appliances/repairs. Will not renew for sure. I am with them for more than 2 years and was a satisfied customer til my last 2 claims.

When you inquire about the product, the salespeople tell you they cover EVERYTHING regardless of age or current condition. What they don't tell you and it is deep within their fine print they do not cover rust, corrosion, electrical surges, power outages, fire, "acts of God." So if you own an older home or a previously owned home, they will find a way to deny your claim.
Three times we called for warranty coverage, and 3 times they sent out the same service tech and 3 times the problems were misdiagnosed, and 3 times I paid for another service tech to come out and properly diagnose and fix the problem. While discussing the issues with their representative, I was interrupted no less than 10 times in 5 minutes. I quoted back their own policy and items from their brochures and his response was "where did you get that?"
At no point did I feel they were there to represent me or my best interests. When I originally purchased the warranty, I asked for 1 year and was charged for 3 without my consent. Which I had to call and correct at my own expense. They will not allow cancellations in writing. It must be done verbally, so technically anyone could call in and cancel my policy at any given time without my consent and there would be no trail as to how, who or where that request came from.
When I asked for information on their cancellation policy, he responded with it wouldn't be smart to cancel at this point. I had to raise my voice and ask more than 3 times for him to send me or tell me where I can find their cancellation policy before I was told they only take cancellations over the phone. You have a choice, and CHOICE HOME WARRANTY should not be it unless you just like throwing money to some random company who will not pay on their claims and will find every reason to deny them!!!

My dishwasher was deemed not able to repair, and needed to be replaced. The person who contacted me first offered $179.00, I refused, he then offered me $220. After reviewing my account again, he offered $400. It was like trying to buy a car. Each time the amount went up. What a disgraceful way to operate, when the contract indicates that "if we can't fix or repair, we replace." It does not state that you try to replace with the lowest cost like item available, offer the customer the lowest price, and hope they will take it.
I was with American Home Shield, and they replace three items for me. Never was the lowest cost item available a choice. They sent me a list of products that matched the one that was to be replaced and I could chose the one I wanted, or they would send me the cash amount instead. You run your replacement like a used car salesman, and the customer is the loser if they take the first offer. I changed to Choice, lots of promises, paid sum $2300 for six years of coverage.

3rd Time calling about leak and then declined. Claim Date: 04/01/2019. Appliance Plumbing System. Issue - Leak in house - Wall. Last Time Working 03/01/19. More Notes. The kitchen sink and the bathroom share a wall. When using the kitchen sink or the dishwasher, it floods water into the floor of the bathroom. A lot of water. There is no water under the kitchen sink, so believe the leak is coming from in between the wall between the two room.
Had the issue been fixed back in November 2018 the rust would not have been there the rust was from them not finding the problem and telling us to caulk bathroom to fix it, which did not because all along it was coming from kitchen sink which we kept telling everyone that's where we thought it was coming from. The guy had to tear out the wall to see the pipe. My question is what is what causes normal wear and tear to a copper pipe??? Could 5 months of not fixing it from the people you sent cause rust and corrosion. I think so!
Normal wear and tear would be rust and corrosion! The pipe is split. We saw it. I have a pic. It's a pipe that wasn't fixed the first time so it got worse. In December the guy said the leak was coming from the bathroom and needed caulked so we did the whole tub, faucets and tub surround with new caulk. It's still leaking. This one is not our fault. If it had been fixed the first time around it wouldn't be as bad. Review this and fix it. It has been 5 months, 3 visits and $180 so far. It should have been fixed the first time and the next service calls should have been free till you found the problem. You owe me $120!

Very satisfied with experience in reporting problem, getting claim processed, and receiving a call from vendor within one hour after reporting. Vendor left automated message that tech would be out next day between 3pm & 8pm with was perfect since I get home around 2:30pm. However, the next morning vendor rep called to change appointment to 1pm - 3pm. My wife was just leaving but accepted appointment because we had been without hot water for two days. My wife arrived back to the house around 12:15pm and saw the vendor truck driving off as she was turning the corner to our home. She honked and waved but the truck drove off.
The driver returned about five minutes later and complained that no one was home when he arrived. She reminded him that our appointment was between 1pm & 3pm. He said he was available earlier and that's why he came early. She then found out that the vendor rep had called when no one was home and left a message that the tech would be available earlier than previously appointed. The problem was fixed satisfactorily but the vendor switched the original appointment at the last minute and then arrived earlier than promised for the new appointment. He told my wife that if she hadn't showed up we would have had to make a new appointment!!

Most claims are denied based on what Choice considers to be preventative maintenance not being done. If you have air conditioners or appliances that are a little order, don’t waste your money on this warranty company as you’ll not only end up paying for the warranty, but you’ll also end up paying to replace the AC or appliances you thought you had covered with Choice Home Warranty. I’ve had to replace multiple AC units, water heaters, and appliances that went bad based on age. Beware of this company and make sure you read what is covered prior to purchasing the warranty.

The technician was 3 hours late (he did communicate he would be late though). Diagnosed the problem as a bad main board that was probably caused by a high current draw from the compressor. Also noticed that due to no refrigeration for 24+ hours, water was dripping from the ice maker but not affecting any components. The main board that was bad was no longer in production and when I called your claims line, I was told that they would come up with a replacement cost for the appliance and send it to us. Approx 10 minutes later, I got an e-mail saying that the claim was denied because was damage was the cause of the failure. I appealed the decision and then spoke to the tech to verify that he HAD NOT diagnosed the problem as water damage.
Monday I received a call from a very rude claims adjuster who said that she was going to override the claim denial and send us a check for the replacement cost of the main board and that since water damage was the cause of the the failure she was not required to do so since you do not cover water damage. I tried to explain that water damage was NOT the cause of the damage and I was under the impression that we would be receiving the replacement cost of the refrigerator since the broken part was no longer available.
She said that since you were not responsible for damage caused by leaks (again, not the cause of the problem), she was doing us a favor by overriding the claim denial. I accepted the check because I thought if I argued more she would rescind the settlement completely.

I looked online and the coverage and price were exactly what I was looking for, and more importantly, the site is more user friendly than most.

Ad in Internet first drew my attention. After posting inquiry, I received a call almost immediately with information. Although the representative was interested in a quick sale, she was most willing to allow time for me to discuss the policy with my wife. When I was unable t find the ad again, I decided that maybe it was not meant to be. Then, your people called me again. There was no pressure to buy, and the rep agreed to send me an email outlining the program for my wife to review. She was sold, and so I bought online. Your approach, positive, but not pressuring, made me feel confident that you believed in your product and were selling a valuable service, not just looking or a fast buck.

PLEASE READ IT TO THE END. FROM A HOMEOWNER TO ANOTHER. I'm a customer with Choice garbage Home Warranty company right now not by choice. If I cancel I will lose all my money. They told me they will deduct any paid claim I did in the past, minus $50 for cancellation and 6 month out of the contract. In another word I will end up with nothing. So I have to keep the contract and hope nothing else break in my home because they are only out to take your money and not fix anything especially your central AC which is one of the most expensive appliance in your home. They will come out with the most stupid excuses you will heard in your life. I only have six months with this GARBAGE WARRANTY COMPANY.
I started with them in August 2018. My central AC broke down in September 29, 2018. The tech they send couldn't get to the attic because the guy who came was a big guy. So they told me they will send another company and if I know one for me to call them. I just bought the house and came here from another state. I don't know anybody here. Time passed. No one came. Winter came. Now is March. I called them back. They made a new claim #. A New tech came. Checked the Ac unit, the unit is useless. I need a new central AC unit. Now they denied my claim because the unit has debris inside and around it. Of course is sitting outside without any use because is broken. Fall and winter past. Now is spring. They will collect debris like tree leaf. That's all it had - leaf. They are claiming no maintenance was done to the unit.
Why would I pay for maintenance for a broken AC and it was winter time. They also told me the tech told them the unit was in poorly condition. I call the tech. He told me that he didn't said that and he will send me a copy of his report. I'm waiting for his report, I have two choice. Take them to court or pay for it myself. They will look for any excuse to take your money and not fix your appliances. You should hear this people talking to me on the phone. Their excuses my God are they for real? Listen to me from a Homeowner to another. Do not buy your Home Warranty from this company. They will talk to you very nicely to get you to buy a contract from them. Really low copayments $45 per claim. Now I have to waste my time in court to get them to do the right thing.

We have been pleased with the ease of your system and scheduling as new clients. The technician who came to our home was professional and helpful. However, upon submitting his assessment, we have only heard a response to the most minor part of our claim for your company. We have a major leak in our shower line and currently cannot use it. This was clearly described in his notes. We have not heard any feedback on this issue and see only a response to a garbage disposal and sink issue. I am concerned that this issue was overlooked or ignored and frustrated that the most serious matter was not promptly responded to. I am hoping to hear a response soon.

I just signed up for a home warranty today. I am a strong believer in having a warranty for reassurance when things happen and you may not be prepared for the unexpected expenses. I always had this for my prior home in another state. Choice Warranty seems as fair as any!

I had a home warranty with Choice for a few years and never ever had a claim. My air conditioner quit on March 11th, 2019 and I submitted a claim (I am a former owner of an AC company and know my way around this service). I live in Hot and Humid Houston so expected a prompt response. Two days later I received a message that my case was submitted to a company called "Landmark Mechanical" which texted me for an appointment two more days later. In investigating Landmark Mechanical, they are basically a 2 or 3 person company that never returns phone calls or answers the phone when you call them.
My compressor had failed and finally 5 days later Choice approved the repair, but my share to pay Landmark directly was $550....WHAT? Turned out that both Choice and Landmark were trying to screw me with charges that were not necessary and apparently exclusions on the contract. I agreed so someone would get my AC fixed as it was hot!!!
Finally on March 25th Landmark 2 guys came out to replace the compressor. They struggled for a couple of hours as they didn't know what they were doing and they lied to me and walked away from the job without saying a word. I tried for two days to get ahold of them and Choice without success. Finally Choice sent me a message that Landmark was coming out on March 28th between 9 and 11 to complete the repair. The morning of that day I received a message from Landmark that the appointment was now 12-2. I immediately called to tell them not to come as I had wasted too much time dealing with the "fly by night" company, but they showed up anyways and I told them to leave as they really didn't know what they were doing. They did leave...
I hired my own guy to complete the compressor replacement and the cost was a lot less that Landmark wanted. Based on this case, I immediately cancelled my Choice Home Warranty and I feel very good about doing that. I urge everyone who is reading this to 1) avoid buying a home warranty from Choice or 2) cancel your home warranty with Choice and go with another provider. I believe Choice avoids California because they would require "Real" contractors to do their work and they couldn't hire their own guys off the street like they did with me.

I submitted my first service request to Choice on 3/7/19, when my dishwasher stopped working. They sent a technician to my house on 3/9. He spent one and a half hours in my home completely tearing apart my dishwasher, said it was shot, that he would tell Choice it needed to be replaced and I would hear back 3/11, 3/12 at the latest.
By 3/14, I had not heard anything, so I called Choice. They never received a report from the technician and never followed up with him about my service call. I was told if they don't get a report from a technician, they ASSUME there is nothing more to do. They said they don't call the customer to follow up "because maybe they went on vacation or they had a death in the family and they wouldn't want to be called." My hand to God, that's what they said.
I had to call Choice 4 times and speak to a total of 6 people. Today is 3/28, I still don't have a working dishwasher or even an appointment with another technician. I'm told they can't find a local technician. This company is nothing more than a call center that doesn't even have a list of approved technicians. Since they can't find a technician, it's now on me to get someone else to my house, who then has to report to Choice that my dishwasher is shot, so I can finally get it replaced.
Needless to say, I told them I no longer wanted to do business with them, and would you believe, they are charging me a $50 "administrative fee" to get out of my contract? Even after Choice pays the technician and pays me for a replacement dishwasher, I would have spent less money, had much less hassle, and got a new dishwasher a heck of a lot quicker if I had taken care of it myself, which, in the end, is what I have to do anyway! Oh, and did I mention they won't install the new one either? This is the second home warranty company I have used, and been abused by. There won't be a third. Do yourself a favor and put the money you would have paid them into a rainy day account instead. This company is just raking in money to do what you can do for yourself.

My hard sell salesman said I could cancel and get all of my prorated payment refunded.
