    Good Experience. I have been burned recently by one of these homeowners warranties, but feel comfortable with CHW thus far. I just signed up today, as they worked with me to get the coverage I needed at a cost I felt was reasonable. Having done my due diligence I feel I am working with good people, only time will tell for sure.

    I had a short in my water heater that was not fixable. The Mechanical company that came out to check it was very prompt, courteous and informative. They of course made sure it was covered first with Choice. Then set up a time that was agreeable and workable and were prompt and neat. Only shortcoming would be that Choice did not pay for the removal and disposal of the water heater... as in why would you need to pay extra for that? What am I to do with a non working water heater? Pricey at $325 extra beyond the $75 service call. Not the contractor's fault. Just seems like an unreasonable expectation from the warranty company.

    Instead of trying to help, they spend their energy trying to find a technicality to get them out of paying a claim. After one year, they only covered $50 on various issues which cost me $2000 to fix. Most recently, after three days still not one call about fixing my garage door motor. I wrote, "a part has broken off the motor, the chain is sagging, and it is nonoperational". They responded, "we don't cover chains", claim denied. Yet in those 3 days, they have called me 7 times to get me to re-up my warranty for the next year. Not a chance!

    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 on 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 these 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.

    I purchased the home in July 2018 along with the warranty from Choice Warranty, recommended by the realtor. We filed 4 claims in 6 months, all denied. They claim to cover a list of things but when you have a broad exclusion on what's covered for the items. Trying to reach them by phone is difficult as there is a long hold time. The recording recommends to fill out an online claim which has a limited number of characters to describe the problem. They are quick to deny the claim by e-mail, usually referencing the exclusion on the back of the warranty papers. I paid thousands of dollars in repairs out of pocket and got $0 from Choice Warranty. They are great at marketing the features of the service but lousy when it comes to delivering the benefits. If you're considering this company or any company for that matter, make sure you read & compare the terms and disclaimer and review the coverage and exclusion.

    The technician arrived as expected to assess the electrical issue, gfci outlets failing with no indication of why all three in the same area stopped working. I asked the technician if he knew what might have caused it and he had no response. I thought it might be due to power surges and again he had no response so I'll have to research this further. Also, after he left I remembered one or two other electrical issues that could have been addressed while he was at my home but he didn't ask if there was anything other than the main issue needing attention. I would recommend that you advise your service technicians to do that anytime they come out so that multiple visits will be unnecessary.

    First time using a home warranty and we were extremely frustrated. While it was super easy to call and start a claim, the notifications we were received via email did not correspond with the service technicians expectations. Called over the weekend for a water heater, was sent an appointment email early Monday morning for an afternoon arrival of our technician. Only the service technician called to make an appointment later in the week and not show up in the window we were given from the email notice. He said they tried to call us, they only called once. Had to make an appointment for a different day for a visit. Yes we got it fixed, but the notifications from Choice said an appointment had been made for us, when in fact that was not the case. Going forward if a repair is needed, we will find a repair person first and call Choice with our repair and service person at that time.

I called to confirm but he did not answer and his phone would not accept any messages. I finally talked with him around 2:30 PM and he confirmed that he does not work on Sundays but he would be out Monday. He came and confirmed what I already had told you and him that the electronic circuit board was not working. He took my check for $60.00 and left saying I would hear something the following day. I called him yesterday at 11:45 Am and asked if he knew what was next. He said I should know something by the end of the day. I never received a call but received an email from you saying the dishwasher was fixed. I responded to that email saying how can you send me an email like that when obviously you have not spoken to the technician or me. This is ridiculous.

    When I bought this contract I was told they will repair anything even if A/C was few years old. My mistake was just hear what the person who sold me this contract over the phone was telling me. The former company I had a local Florida business was excellent. I never had any problem in having repaired any appliance. This time they told me to read segments of the contract and they denied claim. Be careful when you buy a contract like this one. They do no cover anything. I was totally ripped off. And I had to call another A/C company to pay for for what it was damaged. NEVER AGAIN AFTER NEXT NEXT YEAR THIS CONTRACT EXPIRES and the other 5 I also bought.

    I would not recommend using this company to anyone. I am now going on day 10 without hot water. The tech came out the day after my claim was submitted and determined my water heater needed replaced. We set an appointment and was told everything would be taken care of. Day of appointment the tech cancelled because he was told by choice the claim was not approved at that time. I had to call choice to get additional information to push the claim forward. Again I am on day 10 of no hot water and the claim is still not approved. I am nearing the point where I am just going to pay out of pocket and cancel my service with them.

    I called Choice, because double oven didn't work. Repairman came. I received an email with the subject "Great News from CHW, We are Replacing your System". Instead Rep told me they would give me 1/5 of the cost to replace it. He referred me to F16 which states that HWA reserves the right to offer cash back in lieu of repair or replacement in the amount of HWA's actual cost (which at times may be less than retail) to repair or replace any covered system, component or appliance.

    I thought that offer meant I had the right to accept or reject, but Rep informed me that it would be my only offer. I asked for the figures they used to come up with that number and he said "We don't provide that information." So basically, they were refunding the cost of the warranty. I feel cheated. They definitely misrepresent themselves.

    Highly Disappointing. Dishonest company and its culture. Due to long scheduling time on repair of my washing machine, I was authorized by a customer service rep to call a local Tech from my area. The local tech spoke to Choice Home Tech on 888-373-8042 to provide his diagnosis. Choice tech asked the cost of repair from the local tech which was 269.18+tax=287.01. Then Choice tech told me it has been authorized and we are good to go. Now I get an email that your claim is authorized only for 137.50 which is not acceptable. Choice tech should have told me right in the beginning that this is higher than their pay rate and I may not be reimbursed full rate.

    On February 3rd, I had noticed a problem with my HVAC system blowing cold air when on heat, I called a local HVAC company to come take a look at it and determine what was wrong. On February the 4th Vaughn Heating and Cooling sent a technician and determined that my A Coil had began to leak out of the coil itself. That same day I contacted Choice Home Warranty to file a claim under my warranty plan. Policy #: **. On February the 5th, Joe Vaughn called Choice Home Warranty to discuss his diagnosis and explicitly stated that corrosion and rust had nothing to do with the system failure. Instead the reason for failure was natural expansion and contraction of the Coil caused by heating and cooling; normal wear and tear.

    Furthermore, with the leaking being on the coil itself, made of copper, cannot chemically rust. Later that day Choice Home Warranty denied my claim for rust and corrosion. Claim #: **. I appealed their decision that same day. They assigned a case manager to my file, named Christine **. Beginning February 5th until today March 19th, I communicated back and forth continually asking what I needed to provided to approve my claim. She never once answered this question directly. Instead I kept sending pictures and what my HVAC technicians diagnosis proving that the corrosion or rust were not the cause of the issue.

    Again, never indicating what I needed to show in order to approve my claim. I sent a picture showing rust on the spill plate at the bottom of the coil. Upon seeing this picture Christine immediately denied my appeal. This proves nothing to aid their claim as rust here is normal wear and tear. Choice Home Warranty also had the ability to send out their own technician to provide a second opinion. They never did so. I am unsure what evidence they have for denial of my claim and are in breach of contract.

    Unfortunately I bought the home warranty policy from CHOICE HOME WARRANTY was effective from May 2018. Tactfully they offer some discount in order to collect whole year premium in 2 installments. They said this type of warranty can be cancelled anytime and I can get the prorated refund. As far as coverage, I got their so called premium policy to cover all systems and appliances. After that I had a total 3 service calls. Every single time a technician came to the house and asked for $45.00 trip charge. Once they got their trip charge they took some pictures and sent them for approval of CHW. The first call was about the water heater. I clearly stated what the problem was. But when the technician sent the estimates they declined the claim and said that problem does not cover.

    Later on I had a blockage in the kitchen sink drainage system. A guy came and tried to open it up. But he couldn’t do it and left my home saying that it is too difficult to fix. Took my $45.00 again for nothing. Finally today 3/19/19 they came to fix a kitchen sink water leak and 2 other issue on shower handle and bathtub water lock system. Again paid them $45.00 and afterward they came out with the same results the problems does not cover. My question is why do they write my claim if they do not cover? Why I should I pay trip charge to someone for doing nothing?

    This is absolutely ridiculous and fraud business practice. Initially they said they cover all systems and appliances. They said they will fix it or replace it. That's their slogan on their website. Now I asked them to cancel the policy and refund me the prorated amount. They said I can cancel my policy but I can't get prorated refund. That's the most horrible experience I ever had with any service providing co. I am writing this review for my fellow Americans so they can stay away from this ridiculously terrible co.

A contractor 'though' he fixed it - but he submitted a claim to Choice to have a pump replaced that he thought was creating the issue. The last time the heat went out was over a week ago - in FREEZING Weather... I have been waiting for 6 days - with multiple messages to Choice... and the Contractor has NOT shown up for TWO appts... and on day 6 - I am still waiting for someone to schedule the appt to get the heater fixed.

    I purchased a “Total Plan” coverage from Choice Home Warranty for my condo. On March 6, I made a claim for main water valves not working (not shutting off the water to my unit). It happens all the time in my building due to age and normal wear and tear use. I discovered it when I had another contractor working on a shower issue and he was not able to shut the water off due to failure of the valves. Also, valves started leaking after we tried to turn them on/off several times.

    Then I filed a claim with Choice and a contractor came out in to inspect it. I also had my building engineer come over at the same time because he has over 30 years’ experience with my building’s infrastructure (there are some plumbing nuances because it’s a 28-story high-rise building). Upon inspection, both of them agreed to do the job together and would coordinate for the following week since the water needs to be shut off for most of the building and other tenants need a 48-hour notice prior to the repair.

    However, soon after the contractor left my condo, I was advised by Choice that my claim is denied due to the fact that the repair was not covered by their rules and regulations. They labeled it as a failure due to corrosion not normal wear and tear, which would have been covered. There is some corrosion further down the water pipe, but it has nothing to do with the valve itself. The point is that any copper pipe that has water touching it will have some form of corrosion at some point, but that doesn’t mean that valves fail due to corrosion. This was confirmed in my case by 2 plumbers that know my building very well and have worked on the plumbing system for many years.

    Both my contractor and my building engineer spoke with Choice and clearly explained that these water valves fail due to normal wear and tear all the time in my building. It was also confirmed by my building engineer as a second opinion from a person that has been working on this plumbing system for 30 years. However, Choice would not have any of the numerous explanations and second opinion. They assigned a case manager that barely returned my calls and would not have most up to date information. All I kept hearing from them is that the claim is closed and there is nothing that can be done.

    I was stuck in a vicious “he said-she said” cycle between the contractor and Choice, and after a few weeks of back and forth I decided that it was not worth the effort and my time. Nothing was done to even remotely try to remedy the situation. I was planning on purchasing a second policy for my other home, but instead I will never use Choice again – even the contractor that was dealing with my claim on behalf of Choice said that this warranty company is one of the worst and recommended switching to a competitor, which I plan on doing. Stay away and look elsewhere if you are in the market to purchase a home warranty.

I sent an e-mail correcting the claim that had been misinterpreted, got an e-mail back saying they had no plumbers in my area. My first claim was for a ceiling fan and they had no electricians in my area. This is the WORST company, and the very second my contract is up, I'm out. They don't care about their customers, customer service or providing what they advertise. I live in Southern Oregon and I know for a fact that there are many trades people here.

    March 2019 I had balancing problems with my $1000.00 washer. Choice chose not to repair it after I paid the technician when he completed his service call. They called the next day to advise they would offer me $350.00 to go out and purchase another. I was not told they would replace it by offering one third the value of my original washer when I purchased the warranty.

    I ended up buying a washer a much smaller load capacity, basic washer for $742.34 including delivery and hook up. After refusing the $350.00 I settled for $500.00 the max they would offer me. I have not received the check as of yet. I will write another review if I don’t receive it in a timely manner. This is the statement read to me to justify their actions: "16. 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."

They told me "no" because it wasn't a "mechanical problem" with the water heater. Then they said that they would only send me $250 and that was for a $1000 replacement water heater, which I had to pay for. They were supposed to send the check in January!!!

    Today I called and said, "Where is my check?" Andy told me that they made a mistake in not sending it. I said so send it and I want to cancel my policy because I no longer trust them.

    My dishwasher was not operating, I opened a claim to get it fix. A technician from the Universal Repair Appliances was here, however claims that electrical power was not properly equipped for the dishwasher to operate. Then an electrician was here to fix the problem. However, electrician found there was no issue with electrical power. A new claim was filed. Then, a Seven Stars Appliance Service Ins was here. It took five minutes to get my dishwasher to operate. It's fixed now and operating as normal. I am very happy.

    The plumber was very nice and took care of the drain issue in the laundry room but said the pop up on the bathroom sink is not covered. My previous home warranty just installed the pop up 4 months ago but it isn’t working right. I will call to see if it is true he didn’t check with you.

    I needed my washing machine fix and they only gave me the run around for about three weeks. As of today it’s still not fix. When I called the last time they got rude on the phone because I didn’t want them to put me on “hold”, again. They were very nice when they were asking for my money. I called them many, many times just to treated rude. I paid for a service that I never received.

    I was working with your rep Kelvin **. He was nice in the beginning until after I purchased the sale contract. He quoted me the amount and the deductible of $440.00 and $75.00 deductible. I said, "You told me my deductible was $60.00." He said, "Oh ok. I will honor the $60.00." I then asked him if he could email me the receipt and the invoice he said ok. I gave him my email address. I waited to get the email. It didn't come. I called him. He said, "I sent it." I said, "I didn't get it." He said, "I will send it again." I still didn't get it. I called him again. Twice he didn't answer the phone.

    I called the 800# and Marcia I explained the entire situation to her. She was very nice and helpful. She looked up my account and verified my email address. Kelvin didn't have the correct email address that's why I wasn't getting it. He didn't bother to verify it to see why I wasn't getting it. Marcia emailed the invoice and the receipt. The invoice had a deductible of $75.00 instead of $60.00. Marcia fixed everything. The property address for the warranty is **.

    Toilet overflow - Service by CW by far was the best I've received in a long time. I'd encourage you to use him. He's an expert at what he does and his customer service skills are superb. He was problem focused and shared his credentials giving me greater comfort. I would strongly suggest you no longer use Modern Plumbing.

    I was not happy that it took so long for approval to get the needed parts for repair of our heating unit. The approved technician was a good choice. Harrington did a good job when they got the needed parts for repair of our heating unit. You need a wider cash allowance for them to do jobs quicker.

    They implement the small print in order NOT to pay for appliances they should replace. AND if they decide they may replace an appliance they give you the minimum amount for the cheapest appliance they can find to replace it. For example if you need to replace a $1200 dishwasher, they may give you $400 to replace it because you can find a cheaper brand even though you owned an expensive one. They also give you the run around in dealing with these types of issues.

He called and found one. Not only did he go and pick it up. He returned within an hour to do the repair. I could not have asked for a better outcome. Fast efficient service you don’t get very often.

    As a homeowner with 4 policies with CHW, I am very disappointed with the quality of repair people you sent to my house. I called CHW to complain about this and to have a new company come clean/correct this issue, and was informed that CHW could not send a new company. And that we would need to have the same repair person come correct his work. There is no way I will ever let these people in my house again! Instead, I spent 3 hours scrubbing and sanding this myself.
