    Customer ServiceClaims HandlingCoverageTechRefunds & Payouts

    I purchased a 3 year contract after a hard upsell for $1,260.00, there was a one month waiting period for my contract to begin which began July 27 2018. August 16, 2018 I submitted a claim that my A/C was not keeping its temperature setting, a technician arrived promptly. No complaints there. However, after paying the $60 service fee, I was told I would have to pay for a leak test; which I refused to pay since I already paid the fee (no satisfaction there).

    I called to cancel my contract Oct. 9, 2018 because of my dissatisfaction (why so long you ask, because this time I was being even more thorough in looking for a accompany, and was actually reading their sample contracts to see if I thought they were going to be dishonest as well). I was passed to a manager that kept offering discounts, I told him I just want to cancel my contract, he kept it up and became belligerent, I kept repeating just cancel my contract, and asked how I would receive my refund and how much; he mumbled an amount and said it will go back to my credit card.

    I checked with my credit card co. on Oct. 12, 2018 & saw no credit. I called them once again. Spoke with a different person who was easier to work with and asked him what my refund would be; he said $1,062.49, I asked how he was calculating that, he said that they charged a $50.00 administration fee and it would be $46.67 a month for 3 months. I disagreed with them charging me for 3 full months and said this is not pro-rating it, and this does not add up. He looked at again and said that it should be $1,069.99 instead and I would receive the credit on my card Oct. 30, 2018.

    I said that a credit should not take that long, he said it takes that long to process it. I told him I should be charging them for holding my money so long; 1. I paid for 3 threes up front in the amount of $1,260.00, 2. I had to wait 1 month before my contract even kicked in. 3. They charged me for a full 3 months, which would have started Sept. 27, 2018 and I cancelled it Oct. 9, 2018. He started talking about the details of the claim I had made, and said my A/C's are old, I said when the contract began they were not even 8 years old, now they are because I purchased the home Oct. 2010 & the bank put in new A/C's. His records stated they were from 2001, I said I don't know where this came from (my house was built in 2006). Then he said if there is a leak that is rust or corrosion which they don't cover.

    The HVAC repairman never told him it was rust or corrosion because he didn't know because I never paid for the leak test, besides if it was either rust or corrosion which apparently 90% of the time is the evaporator coil, the tech never went in my attic. I told him I contacted a friend who is a licensed HVAC person & it was a loose valve on the outside of the unit, since then my A/C has worked fine. He started a slow upsell and wanted to know how much my friend charged me.

    The whole point I wanted to get through to this company is that I just wanted to cancel my contract and have my refund now, not later as their warranty, not to mention their dishonest company was not going to work for me. I told the service rep. that I was going to the BBB and hung up. I did submit a complaint to the BBB, and since notice Choice Home Warranty has an "F" rating because of all the complaints. I wish I had done more research prior to signing up for a contract with this co., and had read that first. I would never recommend this company to anyone, if fact my neighbor was considering them since I had them, and I was sure to tell him never to use them.

    We paid $425 in advance for the Total Plan contract. We had a local HVAC contractor come out to inspect our gas heating system before needing it for winter. Upon inspection, technician noticed three cracks in the heat exchanger. He turned off gas supply and suggested replacing heat exchanger. We called CHW and scheduled one of their technicians who was coming from S. Carolina. We were given a five-hour window for him to show up, and stayed home all day waiting for him. He was a no-show, and didn't call to cancel or reschedule. We called CHW who told us the service call had been listed as complete.

    When we told CHW the service hadn't even been done, and asked them if we could use our local contractor, they gave us permission to do so. Our technician forwarded a complete report to CHW of their findings and recommendations. CHW told us they were denying the claim because, in their opinion, the gas unit had water damage. Our contractor vehemently denied heat exchanger was damaged due to water damage. CHW came to this conclusion without any evidence, and contrary to our contractor's report. As a result of CHW blatant lies and refusal to honor their contractual obligation, we canceled our contract with CHW, getting only $100 refund. CHW are crooks, in the business of taking money without honoring their commitments. They blatantly lied about the cause for needed repairs of the equipment to get out of paying for those repairs.

    I have had my policy less than 3 months and made 4 service calls. 1st was microwave and they denied it because the claim was submitted to early after their grace period. 2nd plumbing problem went okay. 3rd refrigerator, denied because they said they don't repair leaks, but a technician came and replaced a water valve which is suppose to be covered according my "total" plan. I have appealed this denial and still waiting for the caseworker a Tanisha ** to get in contact with me.

    4th electrical, I am still waiting for the technician to arrive on 10/21/2018 which is 12 days after I submitted my claim. I have had a number of phone conversations with CHW employees at various levels regarding the poor service and asked for cancellation of this policy but get a runaround. Also, I took out a 3 year policy and was told by the salesman, Greg **, who now will not answer my calls, that everything will be covered. The policy came after by email and was full of "exclusions".

    Very unhappy with the service. Tech called 10 mins before arriving and didn’t call to confirm appointment prior to visit. Very unsatisfied with the customer service at Choice Warranty. The whole experience has been awful. Tech left holes on the floor and washer and dryer still not fixed. Since they don’t carry Kenmore products they had to order. I’m going to guess it will be about 3 weeks before we receive a call again to come and try fixing... and he didn’t move the washer and dryer back to place.

    First, it will end up taking a full 7 days to get our AC repaired, which is unacceptable in Florida. Some of this is due to Choice not being responsive to the vendor relative to covering costs. Additionally, in addition to the $65 service call fee for the insurance, it will end up costing us an additional $135 for costs that the insurance will not cover. (This was explained in a lengthy email from Choice with lots of legalese, the bottom line of which is that they will not pay.) So, we feel that the experience was extremely poor.

    I feel as though this warranty company is worthless to me. I have been trying to get my air conditioner in Florida fixed for about 1 month. I've had to pay over $900.00 thus far. I want to know what you do cover? I'm sure this list is shorter than those claims you deny. I am very unhappy with Choice. I want some help in getting a partial reimbursement of my money. I was told by the technician that the unit is now working.

    The unit is only 2 years old. Modifications were made last year. Once again at my cost. We are retired senior citizens. We are currently at our summer residence, therefore, I only have the word of the companies you use and their technicians. I do not want to be forced to take legal action against all of you, I simply can't afford a lawyer, however if I have to I will retain a lawyer for exploitation of senior citizens.

    I was very pleased with the technician's service (Tim of Roy Beasley's Appliance Repair), once I was finally assigned a contractor. However, I was slightly disappointed in the length of time it took to assign the contractor and the standard email sent when questioned. It seems unreasonable to recommend that a policyholder may want to find his/her own contractor and then request reimbursement -- which may or not be granted.

    I submitted a claim for A/C repair. Sent A/C company to make repair and left. Repair failed, send company to repair 2nd time, it failed. Sent company 3rd time, A/C company said A/C unit bad and needs to be replaced. Choice Warranty then denied my claim on grounds A/C compressor was beyond its life expectancy, that the coils were dirty (when I cleaned them 2 months ago), and oil on lines (from A/C company working on unit). I appealed their decision and they only stated the same thing they said before without really discussing what's happened.

    I went to cancel Choice warranty after signing up with them for 5 years for over $1400, and they are only giving back to me $166 because I canceled before the end of the contract. I have had to pay for the previous A/C work that they could not and would not repair.

    I was somewhat surprised that it took 4 days to get anyone to assess the problem at my new home to be quite honest. Next, fixing it is taking longer than that! So the total wait time here will be about 2 weeks, however, I guess I shouldn't complain. Asking for the home inspection didn't go very well since the Choice employee couldn't click on a link. A lot of my friends clicked that link when the house was inspected and I was seeking feedback and not one of them had problems going to the home inspection webpage. So another couple of days resubmitting that. If the problem does get fixed, I'll let you know.

    I am extremely disappointed with CHW. After dealing with a very pushy salesperson I purchased a one year contract and switch from AHS only for the cost of the plan. On Friday October 5th I discovered water seeping from my tank. I called in my claim at 9 am only to receive a text at 5:36 pm stating that a tech will arrive at my home on Friday, October 12th from 3 pm to 8 pm. This was totally unacceptable, my roommate is a heart and cancer patient and I am under doctor's care for cellulitis a skin disease that requires a higher level of hygiene. To wait over a week was not happening. I called Customer service to express my concerns. She stated twice that I had the option of choosing a technician of my choice and receive reimbursement or I could call the vendor that pick up my claim and see if I could get an earlier appt.

    I called the vendor only to be told that I could call on Monday to see if there were possibly an earlier openings but I needed to understand they were in Hazelcrest and I am in Streamwood, quite a distance. So I called a few recommended plumbers to find one willing to come and look at it on Saturday. The tech replaced the bushing on the top of tank for the hot water return. Problem solved only until it happened again on Tuesday. Called CHW to review my policy as to what is covered and upon her suggestion I purchased the water tank from Home Depot a 40 gallon as oppose to a 50 gallon that was replaced for $444.40. Called the technician to install. Upon arrival per the representative's instructions the claim was called in for approval. The tech called it in at 11 am this morning. By 11:30 am my claim was denied stating the vendor assigned to my claim evaluated the situation and found the hot water tank was leaking.

    The vendor was never at my home therefore this is a fraudulent denial. I have appealed this claim and will contact the Attorney's General office if need be as this is totally unacceptable and requires an investigation of their processes. Seniors are pry for scams such as this, and needs to stop. I am very concern after reading all these reviews. AHS ALWAYS PROVIDED EXCEPTIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THIS WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE IF I WAS STILL WITH THEM. CHW your customer service culture is extremely disappointing.

    I purchased 2 plans, one for my home and one for my son's home, earlier this year. To date we have tried to have 4 items fixed. Two involved HVAC systems and two involved plumbing problems. We have had nothing fixed by Choice Warranty. In each instance we have had to pay for everything out of our own pockets, in addition to paying the Choice $60.00 service fees. On my HVAC system, their technician even argued with Choice that the $1500.00 problem should be covered. Choice refused to pay. I had to call my old technician to come out and he fixed it, at my expense. The second HVAC tech could not really find a problem on my son's home (the Train unit was almost new) but he added freon, just in case.

    After two weeks, it still did not work right, so he called my old technician. He immediately spotted the simple fix-a pipe that had become disconnected. It was fixed, at my son's expense. $120.00. We asked for two plumbing problems to be fixed. Choice sent someone out the first time. He told us leaks are not covered, but offered to fix it, at our own expense, $150.00. On the second problem, the plumber called to say he could come out, but he thought Choice would not pay for the fix. Did I want him to come anyway? We were grateful he called first, but again, this problem had to be paid by us, $170.00. So, to date, we have paid $800.00 for the plans, had 3 services calls for $180.00, and paid for all 4 problems to be fixed out of our own pockets. Unless you have money to burn, do NOT buy this plan!

    This is my second year with Choice Home Warranty. I just renewed this morning but I almost did not as I am so exasperated with the non-stop calling from customer service to ask me to renew. My warranty was to expire in November, getting a reminder email, phone call or text is fine but since the beginning of September, it has been nonstop and I feel it is borderline harassment. Yesterday I was checking online the cost to renew and I received 5 phone calls every hour the moment I was on the website.

    Today, even though I renewed this morning, I received 6 calls all together so far (and the day is not over), 4 of them after the transaction was completed. Twice when I told the person who called that I was getting tired of all these calls, they hang up on me, so rude. The only reason why I renewed is because I was given a pretty good value for the warranty. I was on 2 business appointments yesterday and twice my phone rang from CHW, this is very disruptive and annoying. If I have to go through the same thing next year, I will not renew, too much aggravation. I cannot comment on service calls and repairs as I have never had to call to schedule a service call.

    I had several problems with my A/C and had it checked several times. Last time in July 2018 I submitted a claim and it was denied. I talked with the a/c company that was sent to my residence by CHW. I asked them what was wrong with the system and what did their report state. They sent me a copy of it and I compared it to the report that CHW sent me when they denied the claim. Turns out CHW stated that the A/C coil was rusted and that was what caused the problem with the A/C.

    I asked the A/C company about this and they stated that they never said anything about rust in their report to CHW and that it was a way for CHW to get out of paying a claim. CHW changed the report so I called and asked them about this. They stated that their people said that had to be the problem with the A/C and that is why the claim was denied. I got the A/C company to come back and look at the coil and there was not rust. The A/C company took photos of the coil and sent them to CHW to show them there was no rust. Ended up in somewhat of an argument with CHW about their deceptive practices and changing the report around for their benefit.

    The A/C company said that CHW did this to 3 or 4 other customers, also changed the reports around to deny their claims. I am sending all this information to the NC Attorney General's office and have contact a local TV station in Charlotte about this. The TV station sounded interested in this story so I hope they do a segment about it. CHW called me and offered to give me a refund on my service contract, think this was to try and get rid of me. My best advice is to stay away from CHW and don't purchase their home owner policy. I will never purchase with them again and I am telling everyone I can about what they have done to avoid paying a claim.

    I have been a customer of Choice Home Warranty for a couple years now. I have used their services twice. The first time was for my air conditioner and my experience was great. They got a service person out quickly and the part ($50) was replaced. The issue I have is when it counts and my $2,200 microwave stopped working. Choice Home Warranty would not fix it and offered me $170 to "replace" it. I was assigned a claims specialist, who increased the offer to $300. She told me that Choice Home Warranty was not responsible to replace my unit and said their cost are different than retail? Over 90% different. It even says in the fine print that the maximum disbursement for commercial grade appliances in section F 13 in the terms and conditions for GE monogram appliances is $1000. Why would I not get that?

    Purchased a home warranty from this company. Was told, "Oh yes we cover that. Don't worry." Never sent a policy contract to us for us to read. Then when it comes down to it, yea, guess what? They don't cover it. So, after being told one thing and then finding out they don't cover what we needed done which was a plumbing job we cancelled. They immediately stopped drafting our bank account once my husband cancelled. Since then he has received numerous emails trying to get our business back. Then after 7 months they decided to bill us again for a lump sum for the past 7 months. So, once they have your account information, they have it. They said we never cancelled. Contacted our bank when we realized what they had done.

    Sadly, the bank already paid them. However, after the bank saw our documentation of cancelling they are in the process of disputing the payment and trying to get our money back. When we called to speak to manager about what was going on he said "We had not canceled." We told him we have the documentation to prove it. Would not take the information. Did not give us a fax number or email address to send it to. And told us we would not get a refund. We are in the process of turning this company over to the Better Business Bureau. You really need to check over other reviews. When we checked the reviews on them when we purchased our warranty nothing was negative on them. Now, when we check there are several out there.

Day14: Lost hope with them so called my own technician. Day15: My technician fixed in 3 hours and the problem is with my circuit. NOT BLOWER. Day18: Choice warranty says, we still cannot approve your claim as you did not take approval from us before fixing and paid 30% of my expenses after lot of struggle. WHAAAAAAAT?

    After paying for 2 years service on a new home, I had a problem with my AC unit. They refused to cover it as according to their agent, it "had not been serviced as it should have been." Their reason was because they found dust. The unit was serviced 10 months prior and they still refused to cover issue. Total waste of money. I could have saved the premium to just invest in my AC issue and come out way ahead. Do not recommend this company as it's just a scam to get money.

That includes the ceiling fan in the den, the outlets in the west wall of the den, the ceiling fan in the guest room, and the outlets in the east wall of the guest room. Now you are trying to blame a faulty wire! I don't believe that this would have happened if your employees knew what they were doing. I called a local electrical repair service, and the owner said that it would cost me anywhere from $300 to $900 to repair a faulty wire! I do not believe that this is fair!

"DUH". When our refrigerator went out after 13 years, they said that the compressor must have gone out because it had a Freon leak that blew onto the compressor... The technician they sent would not leave a receipt or a written diagnoses and what he told us was completely different from what he reported to Choice.

My toilet was leaking, so I shut the water supply off of the toilet, they came, check and reported fixed. All they did was tighten up the washer instead of to replace it. Right away after they left, tank was filled, and so was the pipe, it started to drip again... technician never showed up afterward, not answering the call.

    We recently purchased an older home and knew we wanted some home warranty protection if needed for things that arise. Not long into living there we had issues with our central heating and air conditioning unit two consecutive times and it was an absolute battle with them on claims. First one they covered due to the capacitor going bad in the unit. The second issue we had "only after 4 months being there" was with our coils in the unit. The unit in our garage was leaking due to a pinhole being in the coil.

    They would not cover fixing this due to saying it was because of "Rust and Acidic from cleaners inside the home" that caused the coil to go bad. I'm no genius but with a 15 yr old unit and moisture being on coils that stay cool I'm sure at some point there is probably going to be a little rust. This unit was inside my garage and not even outside. For the little problems that arise they are more than glad to help you. Have a bigger issue and see what happens. Buyers beware.

    I purchased Choice Home Warranty based on reviews in 2017. The sales representative offered me a 5 yr plan at discount price and also with a lower service fee. As I was hesitant, he even made it 6 yr coverage for the same amount. I was not interested in getting into such a long contract as you never know how the service would be and also I have a job where I typically move every 3-4 yrs. However, I went for that long duration plan only after the sales guy gave me in writing over an email that the policy can be canceled and prorated refund would be given at the time of cancellation. At that time he did not mentioned any other terms and conditions for cancellation.

    Over 2 years, I just had 2 claims. Only one was paid. Unpaid one was for my AC unit that was not cooling adequately. I contacted Choice and they sent a tech to my home. Tech stated that the unit has low refrigerant and most likely has a leak. In order to detect a leak, he need to do a leak test and it would cost $100 which is not covered by home warranty. So he took the service call fee as well as $100 for leak test to tell me that there is a leak and evaporator coil needs to be replaced. He put in a claim with Choice and Choice refused the claim saying it's due to the lack of maintenance. Choice Tech quoted me $2200 to repair. I contacted Choice to understand what maintenance is needed and what is the evidence that leak occurred due to lack of maintenance.

    No response came from Choice even after multiple attempts. Meanwhile, I called another tech on my own and he did his diagnosis including the leak test and other things all in the cost of the service fee and indicated that a TEV is blocked. The TEV was replaced and AC started worked fine without any addition of refrigerant (total spend of $200). I asked the tech price if I have to change the evaporator coil which he verbally indicated to be b/w 1200-1400 $ for original manufacturer spare.

    I felt that there is no use to stay with this warranty when the dealing are so deceitful and called to cancel my plan. Mind you I paid 1750 for 6 yrs (5 paid yrs + 1 free year) of coverage. I send them cancellation request via email and also attached the copy of sales guy's email that I had while purchasing the policy. But they respond by providing me a phone no. to call for cancellation.

    After 23 months, I was penalized by being prorated on the full price of the warranty for 23 months. Not even prorated at 5 years prices even if I leave out the free year. Plus $50 of so-called administration fee. But what HURTS the most is that they also deducted the claim amount for the only other claim that I had (of $135 for repair of garage door opener) from the refund. I feel this is unfair as I paid them for coverage for almost 2 years and then they deducted the only claim they have provided me while also keeping the amount for months covered (even at non discounted price). I indicated to them that when I purchased this policy, the sales guy never indicated their terms but the resolution center lady was not ready to listen to anything.

    I feel that Choice has deceptive practices and lousy customer service. Moreover, they do not have any complaint resolution or any way to provide feedback to their management. It shows the culture of the company. BE AWARE of this company, especially of their multi-year contracts, they are written in a way that they would pay you nothing overall. My lesson is to never enter into long-term contracts with Choice or other such companies.

    I have a refrigerator that has been deemed unrepairable by a technician CHW sent. It took CHW over 10 days to contact me with what they were going to do. I paid over $3000 for my refrigerator and was initially offered $499 to replace it. After I declined this ridiculous offer, they are now offering a maximum of $800.

    Under their terms, they state that the maximum liability is $1500.

    I spoke to Jasmine, who states that she does not have a supervisor or manager and is the highest up in her department. She refused to offer anything over $800 and claims she found various refrigerators at around $800 while on the phone. I looked and cannot find anything under $2200. I asked her if she could meet her own maximum liability and she said no. This is not what I was promised when I switched over to CHW, I was told that they would replace it with a like model in the event it would need to be replaced. I have had CHW for about 4 years and have only about 3 or 4 claims total. I would never again recommend CHW to anyone.

He said there was no way he could say it is a manufacture defect. She said she will give me $150, because I said cancel my policy. I said I accept your $150. She said she was processing it. I said now cancel my policy. She told me that I would receive a refund of $274. She called me back 4 days later and said since I have been complaining, they are taking the $150 out of my $274.

However, the breakers in the air conditioning unit are not covered so I had to pay an additional $65.00 to the company that come out. I called the HVAC company 5 minutes after they left and let them know whatever they did it did not work. They said it must be the condenser and would get approval from Choice to fix.

    This property is in Virginia and you assign a company in North Carolina. They only come to our area once a week and they wanted to come between 3 and 8pm.

I called Choice to please reassign it and after 24 hours they could not find someone to pick up the job. I asked if I could find someone and they said yes but the technician must call them from the job and get it approved before they did the work. The guy said he was on the phone 45 minutes waiting and finally had to leave to go to another appointment.

    He could have fixed it then but could not get approval. When he finally got someone to talk to they said he had to go back and give them all the numbers off the system before they could ok it. It was late by then and we were all frustrated. I told him to go ahead and fix it and we would deal with Choice later as it was in the high 80s and the tenants were very upset.

However he said that this will "probably" happen again and recommended the (4) burners and related parts be replaced. Shortly thereafter I received a call from "Aonisa," your service agent. Again, great job on that lady's part.

    (Now for the problem:) Aonisa said, that the parts for the repair(s) would exceed, $1,200.00 not counting labor. At this point Aonisa, said that the company would not pay for the repairs. I know, as a former service Company owner and rep for (3) major companies including Jacuzzi, American Standard, and Viking Spas for over 39 years this would be a falsehood. WHY? Because I spoke with Sears online and inquired about the cost of the said parts. As a walk in with no formal agreement or contract with Sears I would pay retail for these parts. The tech quotes me a price of, $637.99 which would include shipping to my home. Obviously, your price for these parts is well below what I would pay on the open market.

    Therefore, your statement as to the parts cost is Bogus and, to make it appear to the average person that the cost ratio to parts/labor is too high. I was also informed as to Article, (16) I believe, regarding (YOUR) options. I was informed that your company would offer a payout of $349.99 which I declined and a counter offer of, $399.99 was made. Later that Day (10/01/2018) Another call by, Aonisa said, a final offer of $499.99 would be final. At this point I am very disgusted in your company's handling of this matter.

    I recently bought a home and was concerned about not having a warranty at closing. I compared companies after office hours and still heard back from Frank right away. He listened to my concerns, answered all my questions and was very helpful.

    I was originally skeptical of any home warranty. Having researched I chose Choice Home Warranty. Within a week I was calling on a problem with a recently purchased home. The only thing I did was provide a copy of my home inspection report showing the problem did not previously exist. Within 24 hours the problem was resolved much to my satisfaction. Very pleased with Choice and their service provider.

    It is taking over a month to get my dryer repaired. They are sending repair people who have to troubleshoot for 2 weeks, going into the third week, and then pass it onto a duct company that does heating & ac work and won't touch the dryer ducts. Then to top it off, they wanted me to pay a service fee to each service tech for the same job. My dryer is still not fixed.

    Our freezer failed over the weekend and we called for a repairman to diagnose the problem. He was able to locate a pinhole in the cooling system and made a report to Choice Home Warranty. It was determined that repair was not a good choice, so a check was offered for a new unit. The new unit will be a nice piece of equipment. Thank you Choice Home Warranty.

    So, I signed up with Choice Home Warranty in 2016 for a policy of 6 years. The sales person I talked to at that point said that because I paid in full, one time the entire amount of money ($1889.00), I'm entitle to one year for free and 4 service calls without co-payment. Well, let me tell you guys this: I used this insurance company only three times in two years span time for the following repairs: two times it was added to one of my AC unit 2 lb of Freon, and once a valve of my washing machine was replaced - all worth about $450.00 together.

    So, on Friday, September the 28th I called to make a claim for my water heater which in the contract I received in 2016, it is mention that is covered under my policy. On Monday, October the 1st, 2018 a technician who was assigned to may claim came to check on it, and surprise: the claim for my water heater was declined under the section D etc as irreparable. Obviously I called the company, Choice Home Warranty to check with them about the issue, and yes they declined my claim. As a result, I could not see any point to keep this policy, so ask the CS rep. to reimburse me for the remaining time, which is 3 years and 3 months - that should be about $1020.00. If you somehow believe that you'll get your money back, you are totally wrong.

    I was told that I have to pay penalties for ending the contract, pay the values of the services I received, so I'll be reimbursed in total with about $269.00. My advice to all of you, thinking about to sign up with the Choice Home Warranty, is to keep your money in your wallets and do something good with them, because if you need service from Choice Home Warranty they will pay only very small claims and get along with your money.

    Very unprofessional company beginning with Louis ext #** that sold me the policy - then on when I actually needed to use your service to fix my a/c to 1st call Perseala then on 2nd call Latrice then on 3rd call Maggie. I was never told your company was not a 24 hour service provider to fix my broken covered things before I bought this policy from Louis!! It even states in your manual paperwork that you are a 24 hour company there to help and take care of your customers. Please give me a fricken break - yes your company is there to rudely answer the phone & that's it!! I was told per your reps that you are not a 24 hr company to fix anything & there you do not provide no emergency service!!!

    I bought their annual Home Warranty for $399.00 August 6, 2018. On September I made a claim for my microwave worth $456.14 and they only want to give me $169.99. I have requested for the last month to talk to someone as I will NOT accept this settlement. It seems that the company only has ONE case manager to deal with this, as I call almost every day (except weekends) and send e-mails at least once a day and have not had any response. I believe you all should take away the BBB stamp of excellence that you have given them in the past, because in 2018 they are really BAD. NO customer service. I am asking for a refund of $399.00 that I paid them for the annual warranty fee so I can get my microwave fixed. Please let me know what you can do for me.

    Only having one service rep in the Phoenix, Az. area is not acceptable. Not being able to use kitchen for two days is not a speedy solution to repairing a problem. I was informed by the telephone representative there is no other person to speak with about this problem. This company is located 46 miles from my home, and I can't believe that an area the size of Phoenix only has one company contracted for home warranty service. I will more than likely look for a different company when this contract is up for renewal.

    Many clauses in the contract to be able to deny a claim. First time to use the service and claim was denied on electronic refrigerator boards. Technician is given a report to submit that is like a multiple choice questionnaire. A reason is chosen to not cover an item not based on all of the facts. My claim was denied without question due to a claimed power surge. My home is equipped with a full inline surge protection and conditioner system. The likeness of a power surge affecting one item in my home, this being the refrigerator is very unlikely. My case was disputed and again a decision was reached not to cover the item. Meanwhile, we are without a fridge for over two weeks. The clauses are used in the contract to not proved coverage.

    I have the premium coverage for two homes and will be looking to cancel due to the lack of coverage and the amount of my time and aggravation this has caused. It is very difficult to get anyone on the phone and when you finally do they are not decision makers. It is requested to do everything online. Again another run around of wasted time. I was very apprehensive about purchasing a home warranty as I was warned be a client that they had a poor experience with a different company. I did my research and was limited to companies available in my area of the country, East Texas.

    I went by the so called reviews and went with Choice. I was feeling fortunate that I went with a warranty company as we had gone out of town and returned to a problem with the fridge. All the food had to be thrown out and I notified Choice of the problem. The technician was in contact with me after the visit and recommended that all of the boards be replaced as to not just replace one as it could not be determined were exactly the problem was located. It was not a power surge. The technician tried to expand it and was having difficulty reaching the warranty company as well. The time and trouble is not worth the so called coverage! Too many clauses used to search for a reason to not cover items. Read the contract very carefully!

Was told they could not find anyone but if I could find someone and pay for it they could refund back my money. The contractor came out and spoke the Choice Home Warranty about the problem and was told to go ahead and they would get back to me. 3 hours after I pay for the job was told that they do not cover my well in contract. I paid for cover for my well so now I contact Choice Home Warranty again. I was told Nicole that they would give me back a full refund of my paid and I cancel the contract.

    Had CHW on several Homes for a couple of years. CHW is the Cheapest of the major Home Warranty companies. And there is a reason why. CHW has terrible contractors. In my case CHW sent out a contractor (Heat Pump repair), whom did not return a estimate, after waiting over a week and a half. I had to beg and plead with CHW to get a Estimate from my own contractor (after not hearing from CHW). My contractor stated what the problem was. CHW did not want to pay for the repair. I had to threaten to cancel my contract, for CHW to take any action. But that action, did not solve the problem (a $500.00 check on a $4000.00 repair).

    Here are the issues with CHW: Bad Technicians, whom do not follow up or give estimates on the repair. The Hold Times on the Phone are over 1 hour. (Especially a problem if a Tech is on hold that long). Technicians work not good, had to get a repair that was done by CHW, done again by my Tech. Because of the Bad Work done by CHW. Please, please read the Fine Print. Sometimes, Cheaper is not Better...

    I am surprised to see the above company as top rated on your website. This company is a total scam. Contrary to their claim "save time and money", I ended up wasting both multiple times. I would like to alert and protect the other consumers so they don't get caught by this fraudulent business. This company has cost me much more than the most expensive home warranty companies out there. I have wasted over $5400 + technician fees, and repair costs. I would be happy to share more details but right now I want protect other consumers.
