I called almost a month ago cause the unit at my house both were acting up. I was told it would take 24 to 48 hours before someone would come out. I had to wait a month before a tech came out and service my unit. My house had no air for almost a month. Not good service.

Claim filed for service on AC - First of all when I called I was on hold for 47 mins before someone answered only to tell me they have 24 hrs for a vendor to take my claim and after that they will manually search for a service contractor. It's been two days since I submitted a claim and have heard nothing from choice home warranty. It's been 90 degrees outside, I'm disabled and have COPD which makes it hard to breathe in this humidity. I've tried calling and get a message saying they are experiencing high volume of calls and to check status online. I've emailed and sent msgs via their website and still no response. They originally told me I could find a repair person myself and pay the cost of repairs and they would reimburse me within 30 days. I don't have the money to pay for repairs that is why I chose Choice Home Warranty so I would only have to pay the $65 service fee! Seriously considering finding another home warranty company!

The flush valve needed replacing. After plumber arrived he changed everything inside tank. After completion, toilet does not flush properly unless hold down handle for a few seconds plus it takes long time to fill. Asked him about this and said it was normal, I don't agree. Also, every so often hear water running into bowl, as if it is slowly leaking and refills a little bit. Had to call him 5 minutes after left due to one side of commode seat came unattached. He came and fixed that problem. Overall, he was a nice guy but seemed to have problem with customer service about amount of pay he was to receive. Don't know if that was problem in making sure I was satisfied.

Other than trying to contact you with the long wait periods, your people are awesome. I chose the reimbursement option and was fortunate to find a company that would work with your company. Many companies will not participate with your program because of the wait on hold.

Two gentlemen spoke very rudely to me and I can’t get a clear answer. I feel like I was tricked and lied to. I can’t get an answer on my policy. I was quoted for everything, and now when I’m reading the policy, it looks as though very little is covered. I’ve called many times to get clarification, and I keep getting transferred and nobody answers. I want to cancel my policy that has not started.

After filing a claim with Choice Home Warranty, their assigned contractor arrived. During the first 5 minutes he asked me how long I had the warranty and if I had ever filed a claim. He then told me he did work for several home warranty companies, but since he had doing calls for CHW, he had never had a claim that was paid and that they all ended up being denied...with all repair costs falling on the homeowner. Sure enough, after 8 days of the worst customer service I have ever received over the phone, and a hotter and hotter house, they denied the claim.

I filed a claim for my AC condenser, as it went out right before a week with mid 90s temperature. While the customer care people were helpful, there was no rush to get my AC fixed. Understanding this is a busy time of year, I was told on several occasions that there was no emergency service available. The website states that AC issues are an emergency and they would dispatch immediate service. It took over a week to resolve our issue. When my service with the dispatched technician was sub par, there was still no way to assist me even though temperatures in my house were nearly 100 degrees. I feel as though the information on website is misleading. The service is great for small non-emergency issues. But I feel very let down on this instance.

I checked out three companies for a Home Warranty. I read all the reviews of each company. From the reviews I decided that Choice was the way to go for me. I like the idea if I need maintenance, they will send out a licensed craftsman and I do not have to call one. I like the idea that they offer me to pay for additional years up front and to pay amount in payments.

Friday night a water pipe burst. I turned off the water, cleaned up and called Choice Home Warranty. After explaining the water pipe in my basement burst, they told me I would get a claim number via email. After several hours and no email, I called back. I was told the claim was denied as they do not cover pipes outside the house. (Glad I called back or I would have never known). Evidently, people have houses where the basement is located outside their house??!! I never heard of such a thing. I explain again and was told that pipes outside the house are not covered. I had to explain a third time and I guess that was a charm.
Monday, I received an email stating a repairman will be here Tuesday between 3-8 pm. I just called, was on hold for a very long time and then replied back via their website that I already had the repair done on a Saturday. I can’t go 4 days without water in my house. I’m so glad I was insistent on only purchasing a one year contract, as they kept hassling me to purchase a multi-year Agreement. I’m not happy with this company. My first claim went terribly bad.

I spoke to Barry this morning after receiving a renewal notice from my old company which would cost me $50 more a month with no changes or upgrades, and having not made any claims for the entire year. Barry told me the greatest info, same coverage as the old one, with a premium for 3 years which adds up to less a month than I was paying them and for only 1 year. They also took into consideration the fact that I have both senior and military status. I'm so tired of people taking advantage of the elderly. Thank you, Barry and CHOICE.

I am an 85 year old lady who has problems hearing. I could not hear or understand the service tech very well. He checked that my heat was working. He indicated he had to clean my compressor fan blades and he charged me $60 for the service trip. If I could have heard what he was saying better and he had time to perform additional tests, rather than just saying he had to come back Monday or Tuesday, then maybe I would have a different opinion. I am sorry for any confusion I may have caused.

I have had it with Choice, they do nothing but take enormous amount of my time to do my claim. You are stuck on hold for hours and even when they allow to have a callback they don't. They base their decisions on pictures of the unit, perfect example is my water heater. There was a little rust on top and in the bottom of the heater. The problem was in the burner and caliber and the tank needed to be replaced. Because of the so called rust, which by the way had absolutely nothing to do with the problem they rejected the claim.
This isn't the first time I ran into this, they are all about saving themselves money so for those of you that think they're the best thing since sliced bread, wait till this happens to you where the issue they point out has nothing to do with the problem. Just to save themselves money and not spend the money to do the repair. In case you are wondering, this heater was just serviced 6 months ago so the maintenance was maintained on it. I will be leaving Choice and will never return. This was their second and last chance.

I've had a Choice Home Warranty for 3 years now (3 more left on the contract I was talked in to). I have not been at all satisfied with service. This latest issue is not the first. Our refrigerator died 2 weeks ago. I called Choice to report the claim, requested escalated response since I have 2 kids, one only 2 weeks old at the time. Nope, a broken refrigerator is not an "emergency."
The first company they assigned to us never called me to schedule an appointment. I called the service company, they said they don't service for Choice anymore. Called Choice about it, they had to call the service company to verify. Then they assigned me to another company. Tech comes to house, runs through diagnostics, determines that compressor has failed. The Choice claims representative says we're required to pay the service company $200 (on top of $45 service call fee) to get compressor replaced. Fine, whatever. Pay service company. Wait 3 days for parts, plus 4 more for service company to get back out to do repair.
It's now 12 days after reporting that my refrigerator is broken. Living out of coolers. With a toddler and a baby. NOT acceptable. The service technician spent 6 dedicated hours at my house yesterday, and finally determined that additional components have failed in addition to the compressor. More parts are needed, entailing further delays.
This is where the truly unethical business practices of Choice Home Warranty become apparent. I called them back seeking a more rapid resolution, ideally replacement of the refrigerator. The claims manager I spoke to offered to pull the $625 they authorized to the service company (who did the work, the manager wasn't clear on whether the service company would get paid anything) and give it to us to "offset the cost of a new refrigerator." I argued that that is only 25% of the cost of a new refrigerator, and my contract states that they will "repair or replace."
The manager then explained that, if I wait for the service tech to call in and report that more parts are needed, Choice will tag the claim for a cash payout, in the amount of $350. THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS. To replace a $2000 refrigerator. The manager claimed that they have "contract distributors" who price an equivalent refrigerator at $350. Who are these distributors? Choice can't tell me, it violates their contract. Can they buy this replacement fridge for me? No, they're in renegotiation of all of their distributor contracts. That's why I have to take cash. The manager insists that these are my only options, and "no one at the company can authorize a higher payout." I'm now waiting for a call back from an "assistant director." Meanwhile, my fridge is still broken.

1st tech changed fan/motor on my AC unit (wired it wrong, cables burnt through) 2nd tech came 3 weeks later, Wasted more than a day of work to get my AC unit fixed, tech was willing to fix it but Choice denied it because original tech should have came to fix his mistake. Original tech wasn’t available to fix his mistake so they had to send a 3rd tech. They should’ve just let 2nd tech fix the issue while he was already here. Now 3rd tech had to order new fan/motor to install again because the one that was installed burnt out (3 techs, still no AC) hours and hours wasted with Choice and unhelpful techs.

I had barely tapped the computer keys to get a quote and received a phone call. That was super fast and a bit annoying but Tony was NOT annoying, in fact he adequately answered all of my questions as I considered making a change to this company. What I am most appreciative of is that Tony checked to see if there was another way he could possibly save me a few dollars. Well, what he came back onto the phone with was a remarkable program designed for seniors. I am looking forward to my relationship with Choice as my impression of the company is very favorable based on the excellent job Tony did to explain your product to me and educate a bit about this industry.

We’ve dealt with other companies in the past with no problem. When purchasing last year the price was right but has been nothing but problems trying to get a plumbing issue fixed. They have scheduled multiple people to come out that don’t show up or have complaints with the BBB. One person told us the problem was the fixture that of course was not covered and now we have to tear out our shower/tub in order for them to see if they will consider fixing it. It seems as though they have so many loopholes in their contract in order to get out of fixing anything. Also, dealing with their customer service is a nightmare. They are rude once you wait over 20 minutes to get someone on the phone. Please, please, please do yourself a favor and go elsewhere with your business.

This is our first time having a home warranty and we were expecting better service. Things stop working on the weekend but the first appt we are ever given is Wednesdays 3p-8pm. We’ve had the warranty 2 months and had to use it 3 times. None have been worry-free. Plumber was supposed to come Wednesday 3-8. At 6 I called him to see if we were indeed on the schedule. His voice mail was full so I couldn’t leave a message. I called your office asking if you could contact him and verify he was coming. An unpleasant employee of yours did contact him and told me we were on the schedule but he was super busy and he “figured” we’d want to reschedule.
I asked when was he going to call us to ask that. The rude employee said he could wait until 8 to call to reschedule. She told me to call him. I said no his voicemail is full so have him call me to let us know if he was coming or not. She said okay. He never called and of course did not show up. The next morning we got an email from you saying he was coming that day from 3-8. He did show up. We got and answered a call from your office with an automated message saying they had to talk to us immediately so please call back. I answered the phone! If you didn’t use a machine we could have talked immediately. Instead I had to call back and be put on hold for 15 minutes. We were assured by our realtor that your company was responsive and would be a good experience for us. It has not been.

I've come to the conclusion that this Home Warranty Company is a RIP OFF! I have been a customer for less than 1 year and I've already had to issues that "are not covered under warranty". When I originally signed a contract with this company my first questions were in regards to 1. The Hot Water Heater 2. HVAC Unit. According to them I was covered for majority of major issues. I asked them to explain further so I fully understand what will be covered if something goes wrong. Upon explanation I was satisfied so I paid for my warranty for 1 year.
Fast forward to May 2018 when I turn my AC on and it's not blowing any cool air. I assume, I have a home warranty I'll just give them a call. Assuming was my second mistake. My first mistake was signing a contract with this unprofessional, scamming, unrealistic warranty company. The technician arrives and like any other company I have a service fee. I can pay a service fee, that is normal. The technician informs me my AC is leaking. I forgot to mention, the technician didn't arrive until 8:45 pm. He was scheduled between 3pm-8pm. After he informs me that my AC is leaking, I replied, "Okay what are your next steps." He tells me he has to go back through the warranty company so they can sign off on him moving forward and telling me where the leak is. My first thought is, "Why can't you just tell me now?" He explains he wants to make sure he receives payment.
So, once again I assume everything should be covered. Come to find out, not only is the diagnosis not covered nor is the coils where the technician found the leak. The story gets better. Of course I'm beyond livid at this point and I'm ready to cancel my contract, but they tell me before I cancel to let them see if they can help me get a good quote to get my AC fixed. Unfortunately, I entertain the idea. They call me back two days later and inform me that my whole AC unit can be replaced for right around $1900. Did I mention my house was just built in 2014? Why would I need a new AC system? They had nerve to say, they get better pricing through manufactures so I should take this quote and have it replaced.
At that moment I didn't know if I should laugh or just hang up the phone. I stayed on the phone and in the most professional way expressed to them my frustration. I also informed them, "Since I’m not getting a refund I'm going to keep your scamming service, but only because it's already paid for." I also informed them I would not be returning, or recommending anybody to their company, and I should have read the reviews and the BBB website before agreeing to any contract. Here is the funniest part of the story, after telling him I should have read the comments under the BBB website before signing a contract he had the audacity to say "well we have fewer than 1000 negative comments compared to some of our competitors". I replied, "If that's what helps you sleep at night. Good day!"

I just paid for two major repairs out of pocket. Hot water Hester and AC condenser. You took the word of a crooked individual that you use to conduct your inspections and diagnoses. He wrote up the diagnosis so you would deny the claim and then he still offers to repair now he gets all the money and not just a cut from Choice. AC cost me $2000.00 by itself because your company says I didn’t do maintenance because that’s what your designated repairman wrote up. My property is managed by a company and in the contract they have to service the AC. The trend with this company is when customers have major repairs, for the most part you never really cover them. You seem to never have a problem with the little inexpensive repairs.

I saw that Choice was at the top of the lists for many home warranty companies. Upon calling, they had the "high pressure sales tactics" trying to have me buy more. I kept saying, "No, I want this" and he kept trying to get me to buy more. It was only after I said, "Never mind, cancel the entire thing, I don't want it," that he listened to me and sold me what I wanted. Then I got another charge on my card a month later (it's billed in installments) without notification or a reminder. I was never given the schedule of dues at sign on. My first claim has not gone great, but that was due more to who they used for the service. I told them they should drop this service company. But so far, not my best experience. Hopefully if I need another claim, they use a reputable service company.

Choice Home Warranty advertises the following: "If We Can't Fix It, We'll Replace It.* If the technician comes out and cannot perform a covered repair, CHW will replace the unit." That is the First Big Lie that they tell before they take your money. I have 3 homes that I covered using Choice HW, it was my biggest mistake, they take your claim and do everything to not pay for any of the broken system even if it broke down 8 months into the warranty, they become rude and curse, do not call you like they tell the techs after they have denied a repair. My AC broke down and they are doing everything to not fix it, they not fixed 1 thing since I had them cover my 3 homes, DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY they think that your system must be new for them to work on it...

My service was excellent as far as my Customer Service Representative being prompt, trying to upsell, etc. He even left for a moment to see if we could negotiate a better deal and came back with a better pricing. However, I asked what the exclusions were and they were not given to me at all over the phone, neither was there an offer to email me a contract to look over in order for me to see what was excluded in the offer.
My pool is a salt water pool and it EXCLUDES salt water pools, my sewer is on septic and it EXCLUDES septic. These are some of the bigger items that I would WANT my warranty to cover. The septic has an exception, but that is that it has to be proven to have been serviced within 3 months. Everyone knows that a septic system usually doesn't have to be serviced except for once every 3 to 5 years which would be redundant to have it serviced again at a cost of 300 plus dollars just to get a home warranty to cover it. The list can go on but as for now I'm just thinking of cancelling my warranty because I don't want to have to be told if something comes up that it is "excluded". When we spoke on the phone I was told it was all covered. The representatives should be trained to tell us the exclusions or at least the majority of the big ones up front.

OK, this is the second time that I have had Choice Home Warranty (CHW). Since December 2017 they relentlessly called and badgered to get me to sign up with them. Well I finally did. Now my hot water heater breaks, two days after I renewed my contract. Only to find out that after the technician was there CHW said that it was not covered. Really, I just paid you $1050.00 for coverage, after you badgered me and told me that everything was covered no matter what. If you're going to use the "TIMESHARE" tactics in trying to sell your product and not back it up then you will hear from other people. Now this was not a simple toaster oven or blender. It was a hot water heater. A permanent fixture to the house. Even though they covered $400.00 to the hot water heater they should have covered it all due to the selling practices that all their employees practice.
I may not have been so damn mad but three years earlier they had the same tactics and I bought in to the warranty and my heat pump broke in the middle of summer. That one cost me $3800.00 because they said they didn't cover that either. Because the BAFOON technician that was called out replaced a fuse and the system started working but the compressor was hissing and blowing fluid out. Their justification was that the fuse caused the problem and therefore the system was not covered. It's the middle of summer so I forked out $3800.00 to get a new one. What a mess that was I got tired of fighting with CHW and just accepted.
I'd like my money back on that one also. WTF. The book that they send covers it but never the contract or the people that you talk to that inform you of the NON COVERAGE. With blind faith you enter in a contract with them always to find out that you're not covered. WTF...in good faith does it ever cover anything. Now to be honest with you I have been SCREWED again by a NON REPUTABLE COMPANY and want resolve. I'm send the same to the BBB and the Attorney General's Office of Indiana. So if anything at all I will get the deceitful practices changed. Now if your sales tactics dictate that you LIE to get a contract then SHAME ON YOU.

I just became 844 same story denied claim, all of the excuses in the book not to accept the claim. I see the pattern. Mine was like this and reading the other reviews it goes like this 1 - They contract with small contractors. All they need is to have a Business Bond Insurance and a license for AC, PLUMBING, ELECTRICAL, etc etc. It's like a UBER. THEY SEND YOUR REPAIR OUT AND WHOEVER GRABS the work order is who they assign to you, a company that you have never heard of. They send you a e-mail telling you how to contact the assigned company, in most cases the appointment never the same day (2-3 day good luck on that AC not working or what ever urgency matter stopped working issue you have ).
2 - The Company assigned technician arrives. He collects first the 45.00 service fee here is why, because he knows you are going to be mad from previous experiences. So he goes and looks at the problem. He starts the call to HOME CHOICE WARRANTY. He gets them on the phone tells them the problem in a private conversation, then the technician ask that they want to speak to you, so a so called specialist introduces him or herself and makes a decision with the technician on the phone, on speaker asking for you to be listening without even accessing the issue. They deny your claim 99.9% of the time, they say it's a pre existing condition... What just happen? You just got scammed out of 45.00 dollar call fee that you paid for the technician showing up not his fault right? He is just doing his job he maid 45.00 dollars in less then 10 min. They are also in the scam!!!

Subsequently received another email that CHW potential technicians had not responded and that I could use my own Service Provider.

Additionally the phone #s in the email and that in "Claim Reimbursement Process" form for getting approval were different. This "force" to find my own technician was why 4 stars rather than 5. Should have been my election - not mandatory just by clicking the link.
Eventually I called my pool company, which I have continually used for over 14 years. They evaluated the problem, called CHW (I do not know which number they used) and got authorization to do the repair at the quoted price - my reimbursement, to be paid to me within 30 days would appropriately be reduced by the $45 service fee.

I moved here in November and immediately changed my warranty from you to here so it has been a peace of mind knowing you're there if needed. Thank you and I would highly recommend this warranty to anyone.

Mr. ** assisted me as I assisted my elderly mother with specific questions about coverage. He did this through multiple phone calls as I needed to communicate back and forth with my mother. We look forward to this singular service that we hope will uncomplicate situations that may arise in the home of an aging parent.

As a new home owner I was told that after I make my purchase and move in I could call CHW and they will come out and fix the little issues that are going on with the house. Once I called them they listened to my little problems and told me, "Well out of the 5 we can only service you for 2." Then tells me to send in my inspection report which still doesn’t help with anything. So know here it is, it’s been 3 weeks almost and the two items they sent people out for only one has been completed. Once they finally complete this one last claim I’m leaving CHW. They sell you false hope!

Never got my warranty on ** property. Very disappointed. Makes wonder about the warranty. Hope this is not how things will be handled in the future!!! I promised how good my service would be and cannot even out warranty document but I am sure you hit my credit card. I wish I had not signed up own house. If I known what would follow would have chosen another company. In the future I will looked into more warranties. He tried to get me to sign up for more years but based on the experience I would like to cancel immediately. I cannot only hope the service is a lot better than sales.

Spoke to a fellow by the name of Matthew last week and told him I had to discuss with my husband and get back to him. He gave me his number. I called him today 30/April/18 and told him that we were interested in purchasing the home warranty. All was good- gave him my c/c number and then he said that he had a program if there were seniors, military etc. in the home. I said, "Yes, senior," and he told me about the program. When I did not want to go for the program to lock in the price, the sales pressure was on. He did not want to take no for an answer. I told him I was not ready to put down that large sum of money for 3 years. He had a answer for that. I told him that I would try the warranty company for one year or I would find another company. He told me I didn't have to threaten him. I didn't threaten him. That was what I would do had he not stopped and understood that I made my decision.
Did not appreciate his sass and attitude. I am certain he has a different take on the matter but I was not threatening him. I would have cancelled the warranty and gone somewhere else. Being rated 4 stars, 5 stars company doesn't impress me until I am able to put 4 or 5 stars in the box. Prayerfully our experience with you will be a pleasant one. Thank you for your time. Not a fan of pressure. He said I had 6 years in the company, I should think he should know how to treat customers and talk to them. Thank you.

Worked with Chris ** of Choice Home Warranty to come up with a policy that would meet my needs and replace a current warranty I have with a competitor. Ending up agreeing to a 5 year warranty (+1 year free) with a reduced service fee of $45 and guaranteed the same yearly cost and fee upon renewal thereafter. Cost savings over my current plan during the next 6 years is $1,500.00 plus. Great customer service with everything provided in hard documentation. Thank you Chris.

After our contract run out on 3/2019, I will never use Choice Home Warranty company again. The customer Service representatives that I encountered were arrogant, uncompassionate and impatience. Since 4/15/18 to 4/29/18, our refrigerator is still not repaired due to the fact that Choice Home couldn't locate a repairman in this area in a timely matter. One representative told me that the company is NOT fast turnaround company. Each time I contacted them, all the representatives used the speech/verbiage, telling me to be patient, they were working on my issue as fast as possible. Finally, the company that Choice selected to repair our refrigerator wasn't timely, not consistent in scheduling appointments or informing/following up with a status report.

Up until this last month I was very happy with Choice Home Warranty. However that has changed. I have been trying to get my Fridge fixed by “Devoted Care”. I have had all the excuses that can possibly be. From not showing up when scheduled, and not calling to let me know they were not coming. To just leaving with no word! It started on March 31 around 5pm and it is still going on as of today, April 29. When my husband and I called Choice Home Warranty, we were given yet more excuses. I am not sure which is my favorite, the one were I was told it was my responsibility to inform the tech that the part was approved or the one when I was told that I should feel sorry for the tech because he had to go to the doctor instead of coming to my house! I didn't get a call telling me he would be not be coming. My husband was given a different story each time he called. But our fridge is still not fixed.

Upon first diagnose the CHW contractor didn't solve the problem. After checking with CHW company, I was told I could get a second opinion. On contacting another company the problem was finally resolved. The 2nd guy contacted CHW with his diagnose. CHW did reimburse me the amount of the part and labor.

I was just starting a search online for a quote from Choice when my phone rang from their customer service dept. At first, I was annoyed as I didn't WANT to be sold a plan and I told him that. He calmly explained that he was there to answer any questions and that he had an additional discount promotion that he could offer. I told him I was currently with AHS and did not know when I could switch. He said that I could get a quote and delay the beginning of my plan until I was sure that the AHS plan had been canceled. He answered my questions and offered a senior discount that made it a pretty sweet deal. He also gave me his name and direct line and said he would be available to answer any more questions or to help me cancel the policy if I reviewed it and decided not to go with Choice. The savings over my current plan were significant with the senior discount and single pay option. I saved almost 60% with a lower service call fee.

The repairman couldn't get anyone on the phone at 3:30 pm to approve repaid went all weekend with broken toilet leaking Monday morning it was again denied after complaining. Choice agreed to pay $100 of repair we paid the rest. What does CHOICE cover and why weren't we advised of all these stipulations before we agreed to the insurance

Been having problems with my refrigerator for a while. The first technician put duct tape to make my freezer to stop making noise. The only reason I know that is because it only lasted 6 months and I called again to send someone out again. They send another company out. Took it apart and says, "There is duct tape in your freezer." Well that was January. Still waiting to have my fridge to work properly. I had to call many times to have this resolved, so company comes back out and takes a picture to get parts which should have already been ordered.
So now I have Choice calling telling me they will not cover a intake water valve that but they will fix the evaporator fan. Seriously it might not had a problem if it was fixed right to begin with. So after being upset about that and since it's only a $ 30 part. They could have included it. I get a phone call to renew my plan. Guess what. I will go with another company. If they wanted me to stay they could of fix my fridge.

I called in for a ceiling fan not working and they approved a replacement however "contractor grade only and without a light" replacement. I have a $300 fan with a light and they are replacing it with a $70 basic fan without a light! What kind of warranty is that. Beside the fact that the replacement is a cheap basic Walmart fan, they are not even replacing it with like for like and are not including a light! I was warned about Choice Home Warranty and now I know why. The great price is not worth the service. There are to many . other warranty companies to choose from so don't choose based on price or you will get what you paid for. I am a Realtor who also has been referring this company to me clients and now I am re-thinking that decision. I am a very unhappy customer and lets see if the CS department reaches out to me on this issue!

We have bought 5 other warranties for our other investment and primary properties. This was our 6th experience and each time we come out highly satisfied with the sales personnel attitude and knowledge of their product. In addition, their after sale service has no parallel. We never had any issue with their service in timely addressing any problems with our properties. I do not hesitate in recommending them. In fact, I have already recommended them successfully.
