    Everything went well up until the technician showed up. When the technician took the thermostat off the wall, it seemed like he didn’t know what he was doing. It seemed very violent, maybe causing some connection issues, since after the batteries were replaced and the thermostat being put back on the wall, the thermostat screen came on, but the controls would not work. The technician then had to go to Home Depot to buy a new thermostat, but did not explain to us what kind of thermostat he was getting. The replacement thermostat was not of the level of options that the old thermostat had. The old one was programmable, and the new one is not. It would of been nice to be a part of that decision making in case we wanted to upgrade our thermostat, giving that we would pay the difference if needed. We were not given that option. I would like to speak with someone about this claim.

    Had a plumber come out for a slow faucet in the kitchen and a slow drain in the bathroom. Had to pay the plumber $65 to come and do an assessment. The slow faucet needed to have a pipe replaced. Nope. Forget that. Not covered. The slow drained was approved so I had the plumber work on that. He couldn't get to the stoppage with his snake, it kept getting hung up so he had to replace the elbow on the basement piping.

    Choice Home Warranty said they are not going to cover that kind of repair and they intended to just pay $60 to snake out the drain. So I ended up paying the plumber $340 for the work plus a $65 assessment. They paid $60. Woohoo. Not to mention I was on the phone with them for over 55 minutes, got transferred 4 different times to people that said they couldn't make a decision. I was considering renewing because I have some older appliances, but it's now a trust issue. I don't trust this company would cover a future claim and therefore see no reason to continue its service. The plumber was laughing about how little they cover so what does that tell you?

    I have used two other companies that were awful (doubling prices/bad service). This company cost half the yearly price and the service call is less but more importantly they have been easy to reach and my first service call was a very good experience. The staff who took my call were understanding and very helpful. Good service is hard to find especially when coupled with a fair price so I hope this company continues to stay better than all the rest!

    The toilet was repaired but everything was not addressed and the workmanship was shoddy. Here is a note from my tenant... "FYI: This fellow did not clean up the sticky wax mess he left in the back of the toilet where it meets the floor. That stuff is nasty to clean up. My heart just sank. Ick, ick, ick. No excuse to be so sloppy. You think he'd at least take a putty knife and try to get some of it up. I think the only thing that really works is mineral spirits and a putty knife + utility gloves. That's not our job. Sometimes, I just shake my head and wonder what is wrong with some people who take no pride in workmanship. Heck, I've discounted my work projects at times but I don't let my work quality suffer. Sheesh." So, while he was a pleasant guy, I think he just couldn't get out of here fast enough once that wax ring was installed.

    Had issues with my pool/spa. Called the pool installer and they said they'd get back to me. Three weeks went by, never heard from them. Then I remembered that I can go through Choice Home Warranty for repairs. I gave up waiting on the pool installer. Choice sent a contractor to my house that diagnosed the issue as needing a new filter. Choice approved the work to be done and would pay $367, with balance paid by me of $151.88.

    Got a call yesterday from a guy that said he was coming out to repair the issue. Thought he was from Choice. Turns out, it was Hayward that the pool installer sent out but now at 4 weeks later! Anyway, he fixed it (was a Impeller, Diffuser and Shaft Seal, NOT the filter). Total bill was $235.00. He had already completed the work when he finally told me he was from Hayward not Choice. Called Choice and they'll only consider reimbursing with PRIOR approval of another contractor. I truly would have done that had I known he wasn't with Choice. Anyway, I think they need to look into the experience of these contractors they're sending out.

    This is the 2nd time I've had a Choice Home Warranty contractor make the WRONG diagnosis. Plus, there should be an escalation process for these situations where work/contractor wasn't approved prior to the work but yet the item is actually fixed and working properly and would be cheaper for Choice Home Warranty's portion of the repair besides! They're capped at $500 per contract year on pool/spa repairs. Shouldn't matter if I use my contractor or their assigned contractor since they're not paying more than a set amount, and not guaranteeing my contractor's work anyway.

    Called to have our stove repaired October 13, 2018. A local repair service came out, but had to take the bad part back to shop to ensure correct part was ordered. Got a call. The part would not be in until around Nov 20, 2018. The end of the first week in December the part was in and an appointment for the following Thursday was scheduled.

    They were a no show. I called the next morning to be informed. Choice dropped their contract and they were no longer able to fix the stove. They gave the work order to get another repair service who we have never seen... Only talked to on the phone. Now, 30 days later, I am going to buy a new stove to replace the stove Choice should have gotten fixed. The central heat went out in early November. While we still have the same contractor, it has been over 2 months without heat during the coldest months. Service is ridiculous and we have paid 3 trip charges with getting absolutely nothing in return. Worst investment ever.

    Choice Home Warranty refused to replace our 3-year-old hot water heater after it began leaking. When a water heater leaks water, common sense dictates that the main, holding or storage tank (whichever is applicable) would need to be replaced. After reading the Exclusions, I'm actually not certain what WOULD be covered. Total BS. Would NEVER recommend Choice. Very disappointed and feel like I was scammed. Probably because I was!

    The best part - highly competitive proposal in an industry that is sometimes suspect and the leader is very high priced. Also, the agent I finally dealt with was very professional and did ask if I was senior or veteran which I am both. Obviously, this made a difference in the price and the 3-year plan was the one chosen. While I hope I don't have to use the most severe part of the plan I do like having a way to get things fixed if and as needed and at a fixed service call rate. The worst part - all the phone calls and emails from many people even after I had signed up. My financial advisor looked over the original plan and said it looked good.

    Claim Determination #** - I WAS TOLD THE INSURANCE WOULD REPLACE THE MICROWAVE BY THE SERVICE PROVIDER. I NEVER RECEIVED A RECEIPT OR INVOICE. REPEAT... CHW use service provider photos and interprets the service provider's assessment of the damage to exclude payments under the policy exceptions. Mainly, on home repairs with appliances or HVAC, or electrical items 10 years aged. Most important when you get a policy you are not advised to review the policy exceptions which is critical. Plainly put, they exempt payment on damage due to normal wear and tear, the inevitable.

    Example a recent microwave claim. The service provider stated the microwave was not heating because the metal was burned causing the megaton or mag to not heat and not reparable. The insurance determined that interior lining is damaged causing the microwave to arc. There is nothing in writing about arc. The service provider told me it is not interpretation which is “excluded” under section D number 9 terms and conditions. This happened on previous claim for the air conditioning. It has been determined that interior lining is damaged causing the microwave to arc.

    PLEASE do yourself a favor and DO NOT waste money and time with these scam artists! For starters the customer service is terrible. Very rude. I signed up for a three year plan and my experience has simply been terrible. For starters, they contract sub par companies that do terrible work. I've had work done that was never fixed and CHW does not care at all. For example, I had a clogged sink and a service company came to snake it out. The serviceman was at my house for ten minutes and after snaking the line he said everything was fixed and perfect. I kid you not when I say that very night, the drain was clogged. I called CHW and told them what happened. They made me pay an additional fee to have someone come down because it was considered a "new" problem! What a bunch of nonsense! Any other plumber would have come back to stand by the work they did.

    I had an appliance that broke down. I called CHW, set up an appointment and the company that came charged me the service fee and said we needed a part. They never showed up again! I called CHW multiple times and got the runaround. I was told to reach out to the service company...never got calls back! Eventually after arguing over and over with CHW, they finally scheduled another appointment with another company but refused to waive the service fee I already paid... Why you ask? It was about 45 days after the first company originally came and as I mentioned I called both parties over and over and over again! CHW says "We’re sorry but I should have resolved this before the 30 day deadline!” WHAT! Really!

    These guys are complete scam artists that look for ways not to pay even on completely legitimate claims. The go to is DENY! If a customer puts up a fight then maybe they will get lucky. Example, one of my appliances does not completely function. When an expensive part was needed to fix it they would neither approve the part nor replacement of the appliance! Are you kidding! Are you telling me if my oven has five heat functions and say broil doesn't work, my claim gets denied because "Sir technically you can still use your oven...just not broil". I kid you not, this is how these scam artists work.

    After speaking with my attorney, I am currently fighting this claim. They are completely wrong and simply looking for weak customers who will give up and not fight the system. I'm sure they have everything down to a science where they approve a sprinkling of cases over the year but the vast majority is deny deny deny. By the way, I get that certain things are not covered. That is fair. The problem is that they will look for every which way to deny, even when they are legally required to! The point is that they deny in the hopes that you will just go away. Please do yourself a favor... STAY AWAY FROM THESE SCAM ARTIST CLOWNS!!!

    Our dryer had worked sporadically, and was clearly in need of repair. When we first called about this issue, the first repairman, told us that the dryer needed an intervention; however, this didn't happen because he never submitted his order to Choice, so they sent another company; that person said that the belt was still intact, and it didn't need an intervention despite making loud noises. Finally, it died, and we had to make another request (paying another $45), and determined that the belt and the defective part had to be replaced, which was done. It should have been repaired the first time.

    Another issue is setting up the time for the visit. I provided the Choice agent with the day that someone could be at the house on my call (Friday), however, when we got the appointment, it was for Thursday, when we couldn't be there. We had to call the repair company to reset the appointment, which should have been made for the day that we were available in the first place.

Did not even turn the water on to the unit, or secure it into the cabinet location.

They receive 1 part. I asked if the follow up with you to get the other part, All Star said no. So I called CHW (doing All Stars job). CHW said they had sent 2 parts. 1/9 All Star came out to fix the dishwasher that was worked on 8/18, still not working properly & another oven. I asked if they were going to fix the oven on the claim # above, he said he didn't have an order or parts.

    I called All Star & CHW to do a 3 way, the second part was STILL not sent out. I asked the claim to be escalated to supervisor (2nd time this was requested). Keenan, cust. service supervisor said All Star needed to call back to their division to order the part. I asked for the part to be overnighted, CHW said All Star, Jackie< would have to request that. I STILL DO NOT HAVE A WORKING OVEN or know when or if the correct part has been shipped to ALL STAR. I asked for a free service call for 1/9/19, Keenan did approve that.

    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 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?

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.

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.

    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.

    I phoned 2 hrs after purchase of contract. I asked for the $15 charge for septic tank flush to be removed. When I was requesting contract I didn’t understand (septic tank flush was only for backed up system). I haven’t received a confirmation as my request.

    This was a second plumbing problem I had in one week. This one went fantastic. Used Mr. Smith Plumbing. He came to my house on a Saturday, the day I called (1/5/19), and fixed my problem in 15 minutes. The first problem was a drip in my bathtub. That was a horrible experience. Plumber Co (A-1 Service) came out twice and charged me $175.00 and the drop is worse than when they started. Please don't ever use this company again. I do like that Choice is always willing to work with me if there is a problem.

    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.
