I called about the opener not keeping proper programming. Within a few hours, I received a callback. A contractor would be on site the next day between the hours of 11am and 3pm. The contractor called the next day in the am to advise me Wesson World would be there between noon and 3pm. Wesson World arrived and immediately took charge and replaced the circuit board on the unit. Everything's works great now!

Waiting on parts to be ordered to repair my stove. Washer was repaired and seems to be fine at this point. He did say he should be back over the weekend to repair the stove with the parts needed however I have not heard from him as of yet. I was a little skeptical about letting him in because he arrived in a personal vehicle. After letting him in, he was very respectful.

I filed a claim and still waiting on service since Dec. 8, 2018. They have set appointment up and I took off three different times to have these people cancel saying they do not use them because they do not pay. I finally have a company come out two different days ready to work but the authorization line has to answer phone and give authorization number and they did not answer making hard to be serviced. So they decided, "Oh we will do online too" and nothing yet. Still waiting. I feel they unprofessional and need to retrain their staff I have dealt with.

I was told that Kennedy Plumbing would come between 7:00 AM and 11:00 AM. I changed my appointment schedule and I called Kennedy Plumbing to confirm the service time, At 10:00 AM I recalled the service company and left a message to indicate that I would be home. At noon, I called again and I spoke with the operator and was told that the plumber would be at my home shortly. At 1:30 a service tech arrived. I asked if the work created a problem? The service was completed but no explanation of the tardiness was explained. The tech said that Choice should not give a time period for work to be completed. Should be given the customer. The plumber did not check to see if I was satisfied. Clean up was not completed to my satisfaction. I asked the plumber to use an auger but was told that it wasn't necessary?

I called around 8:30 on January 2, 2019 to schedule a repair of my heating system. The representative that I spoke with told me someone would contact me within 24 hours to schedule a service call. I indicated that we live in Kansas need heat. I did not receive a call until about 5:30 that day with information that an appointment had been made with a local company for January 7! I called the repair company the next morning, January 3 and the person indicated that when they received the call, it was very late & they were not sure if they could get me working in on the next day & and lady from Choice just said to go ahead and make an appointment for Monday, January 7 then. 5 days with overnight temperatures in the 20's was not acceptable especially when I had indicated I would appreciate prompt service because of this.
This was my first claim with Choice. The warranty company I had previously always had a call in for repair and I always received a call from them within 2 hours from the time I submitted a claim. I certainly hope that any future claims that I may have will be handled in a much more timely manner and I also expect to hear from Choice regarding my dissatisfaction regarding this experience.

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

The tech who came to my home shared that my dishwasher was not an issue but the plumbing was an issue. He said that he could not fix the problem and that a plumber would have to come out. After calling in to Choice Home Warranty several times, I was constantly asked to renew my policy. A salesperson hung up in my face when I told him that I would not renew until my issue was resolved. The customer reps were of no help with my problem but insisted that I pay TWO service technicians after I had already told them the problem before the FIRST tech person even arrived.

I absolutely love Choice Home Warranty. The premiums are great! However, the service may not be as expeditious as others and understandably so, due to keeping low cost premiums down.

Repair of heating unit. Bennett Electric Company was very prompt contacting me and coming to repair the unit. The Technicians found the unit was not connecting with the thermostat because the Electric Panel showed that it had thrown the circuit leading to the unit. The unit was working when they left, but never came back on. I asked them before they left, would I be able to call them back if the unit continue to not work. I was told not to call them because CHW refuse to pay repairs to their Company. So, I am going to have to pay full price to get the repairs needed so I can have heat in my house plus $85.00 for nothing! $40.00 premium for this month, which means, I have to drop your Company ASAP.

Had a HVAC TECH look at my furnace that was heating, but wouldnt shut off. After looking at it he said it a bad relay... ONE.

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

I do not understand how this company has such raving reviews. My dishwasher was not working and they sent a technician to repair it. When it was going to be more to repair they then offered me $179.99 to replace it. First you cannot purchase a new dishwasher for this amount. When I explained this to them they asked me how much I wanted. I did not want money, I wanted them to replace the dishwasher. What good is a home warranty if you have to do the work yourself. I have dealt with many home warranty companies and none of them have ever pulled this one! They ended up giving me $302.00 but I am still going to have someone come install the dishwasher or do it myself. On top of that I have to wait 20 days before they release the check. This is by far the worst home warranty company I have ever dealt with! I will be canceling my policy and going with someone else.

They turned around and approved $130 for the technician to unclog my main line that has nothing to do with the technician diagnostic. Will cancel my membership with them. Horrible company. Scam

I spoke with Jason about possibly obtaining another Home Warranty. I had been with another home warranty company for years and they had really done a number on me when my AC went out in as much as they didn't fix my AC for 39 days (It is brutally hot in Houston). I feel real good about what he told me. Of course I am still a little skeptical (especially after being with AHS for 15+ yrs and getting the poor customer service I received), but Jason gave me reassurance that Choice handles their business correctly. A home warranty is a great concept and I feel good that Choice will be a great "choice" for me and my family.

First my garage door would not open and they sent out a company who did an assessment then had to call in for approval. It took FOREVER so I ended up just paying the guy to fix it. Just recently (Dec 2018) I had ceiling light go out and called them. They sent out a guy who assessed the situation and discovered the fixture was damaged which was the issue. HE TOOK THE FIXTURE DOWN (14 FT UP) FROM THE CEILING and went to his truck to get approval. After almost an hour he said he needed to go to another call and someone would get back to me. NO ONE CALL ME OR CONTACTED ME SO I CONTACTED THEM...
Choice Home Warranty Said they do not cover fixtures. Well how about putting my fixture and cover back up instead of leaving lying on my kitchen table. Bottom line the guy should have never taken it down if they don't cover it. Now I have a opening in the 14 ft ceiling. NEVER WOULD I RECOMMEND HOME CHOICE WARRANTY. What a rip off. They will appease you with a free call at no charge. Does not mean anything if they don't respond quickly and leave a mess if they have someone show up. By the way, the company they sent out had a failing BBB rating!!!

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

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

Our claim regarding our Maytag range was initially denied because of an error made by the claims specialist who recorded the details. It was improperly reported as a broken door latch when, in fact, the issue was with the control board. Because of this error, the claim was initially declined. When I appealed the claim, it was improperly documented. A second time it was denied again. This prompted me to elevate the claim to a supervisor who finally agreed that our claim was indeed valid. On the positive side, the technician sent to diagnose the issue and complete repairs was top notch.

The business motto behind CHOICE's dealings is very interesting. I pay $39 every month to simply have access to the technicians, and when they arrive I still have to pay $45 out of pocket for every technician called. I wouldn't have a problem with this if CHOICE didn't always try to give an excuse as to why they won't fix some of the more serious issues I've had with my house i.e. the fridge and AC & heating unit. The only time I haven't had a complaint is when the technicians have managed to fix the issue without CHOICE's input, which makes me want to cut out the middleman. I'd rather just pay the technicians $45 and deal with them directly than to still pay $39 every month.
I have prematurely introduced 3 family members to CHOICE and they've all had issues, I have also worked with technicians that used to work for CHOICE until they ventured into their own business and they've all attested to the fact that there is a dishonest way CHOICE does business. Of what use is it to pay monthly if the warranty company has a million excuses (not a single excuse was based on facts or numbers just casual impressions, that benefit their agenda) not to cover the appliances and units they once advertised they would?

Had my dryer repaired, the service technician did a great job. Called to confirm the time he was going to be there. Showed up on time and did the job in a timely manner. Very neat and clean. I would definitely use the service again.

Fridge broke down and parts no longer available. Spoke with a case mgr. (Sal) who played games with me trying to give me $400 toward a new fridge. After going around in circles with him he pushed it up to $599 which was still not satisfactory and finally to $700 which says they can reimburse more but have to make you work for it. I call that lousy service! Will be looking for a different warranty company.

I've been looking for the past month for a Home Warranty. I am one that will research and find 3 companies and compare and research the product and customer service. I called Choice (my 2nd choice of 3) and left my information with an agent and within a minutes Damont ** returned my call. He was very thorough in explaining the Home Warranty for my home. It is a pleasure to work with Damont.

Today I had the most awesome experience speaking with Ms. Kelly ** who help me make sound decisions in purchasing a 3 year home warranty coverage. Her expertise and sincerity are beyond reproach.

I was provided a Choice Home Warranty as part of the closing process on my new home. I used their services one time and was happy with it. However, I have been harassed continuously by their sales department via email and phone. I have requested at least five times to be removed from their call list and have even spoke with a supervisor. One time I asked to be removed from the call list, the representative informed me that I could not be removed until I renewed my policy. This is unacceptable and even if they were the best company in the world, I would never do business with them again.
Thank you for your feedback.

Toilet leak in master bath. Plumber from Easy Rooter arrived as scheduled, replaced a broken plastic item, remedied the situation quickly, was a courteous and personable young man. I was very pleased with the entire process. I paid him the required $45.00, a bargain in today's expensive service calls for all the trades I (plumbing, electricity, carpentry). I would recommend the Choice Warranty Program to all senior citizens.

I have the total package and for the third time CHW has refused to cover a simple component to one of my appliances citing obscure language in the agreement although the main appliance is covered. In the most recent case they won't cover a critical part to my HVAC system that would provide heat to my home. They said I could appeal w/ a 24 hour turn around and a 7 time frame for a decision. It's winter and I cannot wait 7 days much less 24 hours for a response. According to the technicians CHW often refuses to cover the most common items subject to fail in a home appliance system. I have no choice but to pay the for the entire repair. I will be cancelling my contract. Technicians cited CHW as the most difficult home warranty company to cover problems or challenge costs. Mostly the simple, common problems. Honestly, I think this is intentional so they don't have to pay.

Microwave went out. Company decided that it needed to be replaced instead of being repaired as the cost was too high. Contract term F-9 stated that replacement equipment of similar quality and capacity would be installed at the plans cost. Company chose to exercise term F-16 of the contract which states that they and issue a check for the value of the replacement equipment (NOTE...VALUE OF THE EQUIPMENT ONLY EXCLUDING TAXES, INSTALLATION, DELIVERY, AND ALL OTHER INCIDENTALS). In the end on a microwave, the cost will be at least $130 that they will not reimburse (for professional installation, Delivery, Haul away). Keep this in mind if purchasing this Warranty. I would expect similar treatment for any kitchen appliance.

I have had several homes under home repair companies such as American Home Shield and else. I have 2 homes under contract with Choice Home Warranty. I had signed a 3 years contract for each. I will not make the same mistake and will not pay this company a Penny again. They have let me down and degraded me every time I needed service.
First service request: It took 5 weeks to repair a minor heating problem. Second service request: After 2 weeks of back and forth and repeated service calls, they paid less than 25% of replacement of a GE Profile refrigerator. Third service request: They stated the problem with the leaky evaporator coil of the air conditioner was not covered because the system was old. Home is in Houston area. Fourth service request: They stated the problem with the leaky evaporator coil of the air conditioner was not covered because the system was old. Home is in Austin area. In both air conditioning issues the Technicians stated that other warranty companies that they have account with would not deny service and would pay for repairs or replacement. I will not deal with this company again.

Updated on 01/03/2019: After refusing to pay a claim, for a refrigerator repair, Instead of paying for the claim, Choice Home Warranty made me an offer to send back my $375 and cancel the policy. At the same time they requested that I give them a 5-star rating for their services on their website. I refused to accept the offer, and told them, "What is the use of an insurance policy, when it can't be used anyway." Any time you have a repair that is too high, they want to cancel your policy and refund the $375 you paid for the policy. That's not how insurance policies work!!! They always try to avoid paying a claim. I hope no one would use this company, they will not help you. They only want your money!!!
Original Review: I called for service on my sub zero refrigerator on December 12. They came 8 days later, and determined it needed parts and needs authorization, that never came, they said it was a leak and they don't cover leaks. I called another company and paid for it again and they said it needed parts causing the problem. Again they turned me down. This time they said it was line restriction, and it's not covered. They will always try not to pay a claim! I will never use them again, and I will have to pay for this on my own. They are a ripoff company!!!

In November 2018, Choice Home Warranty hounded me with hundreds of phone calls a week to sign up. So I did. In December, I had a problem with a few minor issues at home and I filed a claim. They found a company to work on my home issues for Dec 25th (Christmas Day) from 3-8 PM. I could not get a hold of the technician before the appointment and neither could CHW. When I called CHW yesterday at 6 PM to inquire about the technician, they said to wait until 8 PM. No one came. This morning, no one from CHW was helpful and they proceeded to cancel my warranty after only one month into the contract. Be aware, they gave me only 10 months of service money back and also deducted another $50 off from my contract for cancellation fees. Stay away from CHW, do not believe all the fake reviews. Thanks.

My understanding was that all I had to pay was a $60 Co-Pay, and that you would send a reliable appropriate service contractor within 24 hours or less. My appointment was set for December 26th, and my claim was filed on December 22nd. I could not wait 4 days to have my sewage line unblocked since my overflow pipe was backing up in my front yard. The contractor (Bill's Plumbing) told me if he came out on the 22nd it would cost me an additional $150, which I paid in addition to the $60 Co-Pay. This is unacceptable, and I might as well keep my Premium and not have to pay since most my claims are emergency types, and I could pay them with my premium instead of paying Choice!

I had plumbing problem, it was leaking behind the wall. The technician came and said that my catridge was broken. After they submit to home warranty, it didn't cover, so I made a complaint and finally got cover, but I still found that the pipe still leaking behind the wall. I call CHW again, the tech came again and said that the shower arm was broken, it need to be replaced, again it didn't cover by CHW. The manager Tashya will send me a $75 check (20 days, I haven't receive the check till now), I hire another plumber to fix it and my plumber just fix it without replaced the shower arm!
We just wasting my time and money. Everytime the plumber came, he only diagnosed for 5 min, they don't even bring the tools, another one I have plumbing issue, he said my faucet was broken, it didn't cover by CHW. I hire another plumber, they fix the problem without replaced my faucet! If I have to replace the faucet and fix the leak it'll cost me 300$, my Kohler faucet isn't old one, it only probably like a year. The tech just trying to fix the problem in the hard and expensive way!!! They wanted to make money from the CHW and clients!
I got so frustrated dealing with CHW, now I have a problem with my dishwasher. The tech came on Friday, only 5 min, he said the motherboard was broken. I have newer KitchenAid dishwasher since I moved in the house 14 months ago, it never has a problem before and barely used, I like handwash better. Is it really the motherboard broken? Or just want to make money?? Now I have to wait CHW the decision. It 4th day waiting their decision, I really hope they fix my dishwasher.
It really not worthy to have CHW, wasting more time and money, we always worried! Not to mention that Tashay the claim manager was so rude! She was put the phone away and talking with her coworker and said I deserve to get treat that way because I was yelling at her. When I ask how much money that I get if I cancel my policy, she let me know, how much and she said my policy already cancel so I don't policy now! "You said you wanted to cancel now. I already cancel your policy so you don't have policy with us. You will receive the money in 20 days!!!" How rude!! I said, "I want to talk my your manager", she said that, "I'M THE HIGHEST MANAGER IN HERE! YOU ONLY CAN TALK TO ME!"
Please review your phone records to find out how rude is she!!! I'm speechless!! I never talk to someone as rude as her ever, especially in the customer service field. Just WOW!!
