I was put on hold for longer than I was informed. I was on hold twice, a total time of about 40 minutes. However, after I chose the call back option, I received a call back immediately. I was however impressed with the manager. He was very informative and very receptive and willing to help me. My problem was resolved immediately and I was happy with it.

Choice Home declined my first service claim of heating system. Choice thought the failure is caused by ongoing wore out of the motor, so it is existing condition. Their attitude is also very arrogant. I would not recommend this company to anyone.

Kitchen drain which has laundry and dishwasher all linked was backing up. It took a week before I was informed. Choice could not get a technician out to service my drain. once we agreed to reimbursement, process was nebulous and I repeatably had to ask via email for clarification which returned what seemed like automated and not helpful responses. Emails indicated I could review the response online but I never found a message center online. Haven't received my reimbursement yet so can't describe satisfaction in that process.

I had Choice Home Warranty for three years and was pleased until my dishwasher broke. And they say they replace something if they can't fix it. Well, they would only pay me $230.00 for my dishwasher. And it cost me $140.00 to install a new one. So I only had $90.00 to buy a new one. They are very misleading.

I placed the trouble ticket in last night and received a reply by morning that a plumber has been dispatched without me having to call them for an appointment. This is a welcome change from my previous experience when I had to call the servicer and make an appointment. The plumber arrived on time and quickly assessed the problem. He didn't have a replacement part and had to get approval and promised to return tomorrow upon authorization.

I cannot highly recommend anyone buying a warranty from this company! The technicians they send are flaky, unprofessional and barely licensed at best! Dealing with calling the company is a nightmare, the agents are rude, unhelpful and read off of a screen and love to deny. I have had contractors they send out tell me they hate working for them, they hardly get paid, and their work quality shows it! I would NOT recommend my worst enemy to this company. Keep on looking!

I gave the info and you got it all wrong. I had to wait all day for someone to show it at the end of the timeframe literally 8pm. He had to come from Louisiana. He thought he was coming to unclog a toilet. So he had no tools to handle the real issue, nor the parts. I had to drive to Lowe’s and pay for several parts so he could fix my toilet. I was not very sure this guy even knew what he was doing!

I bought this policy in 2016 and have attempted to use it 3 times... Whatever you need, they don't cover. Unfortunately for me, I paid upfront for my plan and when you receive the booklet it appears like your clothes dryer, washer, refrigerator, air conditioning, etc are covered but in essence nothing is covered and it's a waste of money to have this policy. They have a C rating on BBB and are not endorsed by them. I take the blame for not doing my homework. At the beginning of Jan 2018, I sent a letter in writing asking them to cancel my policy and return to me any remaining money, and here we are almost at the end of Feb 2018 and I have not heard from them. Par for the course!

I just signed up for the program, so I can't review the company's benefits. I can say that I was looking for a company that would cover our appliances. The first time they called I got a gentleman who was not professional, and was very pushy. When I talked to Jared today he was patient with me and listened. I signed up today. After the first day I was almost ready to tell them off. We will see if they live up to their end of the contract.

Joe from Chaviarria's plumbing did a great job. He had to take the tank outside. He cleaned and washed out the vast majority of calcium. He was here about 6 hours working. He went above and beyond. He also changed the heating elements. That was the only thing covered by Choice Home Warranty. They don't cover much. I paid extra to get it flushed out.

After having been with American Home Shield for many years, we chose to change to Choice Home Warranty because they had the best reviews and they have absolutely not lived up to them. We called in a claim on our air conditioner/heater. They were prompt in sending someone to service it. Our claim was denied saying it hadn’t been maintained. The people that came out took pictures and sent them in. They said the decision had been made, and there was no one I could appeal it to. This was at Christmas time 2017. I sent in the receipt where it had been serviced in Nov. 2017. Choice had even came out and replaced a part on my AC in November. They told me the company that serviced it did not do it properly. How unprofessional and discriminatory since this company has been in business for 30 years.
If they want service done by someone specific, they should let us know. Our local company said that with over 1500 AC repair/replacements needed, they had paid $700 on ONE of them. They told everyone else it had not been maintained. My son-in-law had the very same problem. Very disappointed since I had been happy with them up to now.

Worse company that you will ever encounter! Techs are sent to my house, they make decisions and call that later on I am held accountable as if I made those requests. Their contractors lie to my face and they do nothing about it. I have reported tech's scam and they do nothing! They put it all back on me. Example, tech is sent a $250 check to replace a garage door opener, the tech pulls the scam of telling me that replacement cost more than $250, I agreed to pay the difference, then I find out I got charged the full price for the box! Tech won't refund and their customer service did nothing! And let the tech get away with it! TOTAL SCAM!

I have carried Choice Home Warranty since 10/17/2014. I have only submitted 5 claims. I have had multiple problems with Choice on 3 of these 5 claims. I filed a claim on my refrigerator in 9/2016 and it wasn't resolved until 8/2017. They only offered $450 to replace a $942 side-by-side refrigerator. One claim took 9 days to receive an appointment with a service technician and another claim took 6 days. CHW has problems getting the claims initiated timely, they are also using inferior service repair companies. Companies not calling to set appointments, not showing up for appointments, not returning phone calls, etc. These are the exact same problems that Choice was in a lawsuit over in 2015.
Their advertisements online and with BBB state: "If the covered item is beyond repair, CHW will replace your unit with a similar or like feature model, or even send you a check to buy a new item. At CHW, we strive to deliver the best customer service to our clients. We know how important it is to maintain great customer relationships, and taking care of our clients has always been our top priority. The company always has been committed to resolving complaints made by dissatisfied customers." On the BBB site, it asks the consumer to contact CHW’s Consumer Advocate, Tracy ** before filing a complaint. I called and left three messages, never received a return call or anything. I sent a certified Return Receipt letter to president, Victor Mandalawi as well. I never received a response or acknowledgment from him.
Now, CHW is refusing to repair my washing machine water valve. They’re calling it a Hose Bib, which is an excluded item in the contract. By definition on multiple websites, a Hose Bib is an outside faucet. I have just filed a dispute with them and am awaiting for mitigation or arbitration. CHW have only 1.5 stars on YELP, 1.1 star on mythreecents.com. I should've done my homework before signing up with CHW. I will definitely be cancelling their service as soon as my mitigation completes.

I had several policies with Choice Home Warranty for my rental property and it was a complete waste of money. Whenever there was a problem it would take days to get someone out. Eventually I would simply pay a local company for repairs. They promised to reimburse me in a few claims but never did. They even double charged me for 2 policies on my the same property and when I brought it to the attention of Ryan who is the head of the company I was basically told to buzz off. Now that the policies are nearing their term I am bombarded daily by sales calls. I wish they were as aggressive in their customer experience as they are in their sales department. Do not waste your money.

Switched both my homes over to Choice about 3 or 4 months ago. Of course my washers starts leaking just a few months later. First the company that was assigned to handle my claim was completely unprofessional. I had to keep calling them to get things moving and had to changes appointment multiple times because they will show up whenever or not show up at all. Then they lied and said they had fixed my washer and when I went to use it the following day it was leaking exactly the same. After over 3 weeks of dealing with them and my washer not fixed I called Choice and ask for a different company to come out. They were so much better and filled my claim.
Then I get an email almost immediately to call Choice because they have to talk to me... Basically they said my issue was preexisting so they will not fix or replace my washer. I am not a mechanic and if the leak started before I switched over it was minimal and was not something I could see because it was under my washer. Such a disappointment, how can I trust them to not use that every time. Things take time to break so will be a “preexisting issue”?! Just an excuse to not do what they are supposed to. The only reason I gave them 2 stars is because their customer service answers the phone quick.

Our warranty came with the purchase of the house. We have had nothing but problems with them and they are a rip-off. I called to get reimbursed for a furnace repair, sent everything, pictures, bills, etc. Everyone else I send them to can open documents fine, not Choice Home Warranty. Error 404. THAT'S ON THEIR END! They say no, it's my phone, my computer, my email address. All me. REALLY? HOW COME everyone else can open them fine??
Refrigerator has horrible smell and so loud it is awful. It's also 50 years old (came w/ home). Paid $65 and guy came (after being stood up by first guy). He ordered part & 2 wks later came back. Part won't work, said he'd tell Choice. No service, no response since & that was a month ago. Choice says they can't reach him any longer & if they send new tech, it's another $65. Now I'm sending pics for furnace certified mail, let's see what b.s. excuse they have to get out of paying for my furnace repair. I've given up on the fridge. It's not worth being out $130 for a 50 year old appliance that's not fixable and not worth $75, so I'll just buy one myself. Got a washing machine (another old appliance the seller left me) that needs work. I don't even want to deal with Choice. It's cheaper to find my own guy and pay for the repair honestly. My advice, look elsewhere. They take your money and DO NOTHING ELSE. RIP-OFF AND WORTHLESS.

Don't be ripped off and buy a home warranty w/ this company. They will think of every loophole there is NOT to cover the repair! We bought this home warranty because we purchased a home w/ an older A/C system. Then after having the HW for years, our A/C went down. They wouldn't give us a penny to repair it!!! RIP OFF!!! And God-forbid if you have rust on any unit outside, then you're not "maintaining" it. They wouldn't cover our spa heater which is outdoors! Hello! We live in Florida... There's heat and humidity. There was a slight amount of rust on it... So that wasn't covered either! My advice... Go elsewhere!

First let me tell that your sales department is doing excellent job to add more new customers but I am very dissatisfied with your service department. First they took three to four days. Was not a emergency problem, When I purchase a warranty and I told that I need a help on weekend or after 4.00pm weekdays for non-urgent problem. Second guy came yesterday at 7.05 pm and I told him that I have a three bathroom. He told me that he is going to do only one bathroom. Then he spent 15 mins to get a answer, job was very small. He spend less than 35 mints for complete job.

We purchased our home in Venice 3 1/2 years ago. We were new to area. I signed up with Choice Warranty since we had no knowledge of area contractors. We have complied with their “maintenance” requirement. This year we called a contractor for a maintenance check on our air/heating. When he came he said that one coil was leaking, the other severely corroded. He would not even attempt to try to do any cleaning since he felt it would “disintegrate” the coil” - also noting if that happened there were no longer parts available for this model.
He suggested a new unit and provided a bid. We then called Choice to have their contractor come out. He basically said the same thing and added 1 lb of Freon to the leaking coil. We then get a call from Jessica a claims supervisor who informs us that we are not covered because we did not meet the maintenance agreement! How is that possible!! I have filed a complaint with the Florida State Insurance Commission as well as the BBB. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!

The technician scheduled me for today, an earlier time instead of Thursday, 2 days later. I really appreciated that since I had to turn my water off due to a broken pipe. He stayed late and repaired my plumbing so I could turn the water back on. My biggest concern was with the company's automated appointment scheduling system that doesn't allow the agent to make adjustments or indicate special problems or situations, which can be very frustrating. That really needs to be changed in order to provide better customer service!!!

Bought a home recently with a Choice Home Warranty included. They kill all of the "covered" items with fine print and set extremely low limits on repair costs covered annually. They let me open a claim, have a plumber come to my house, pay the $45 dollar fee, just to then say they were not covering anything because the 500 dollar annual limit for plumbing repair had been used by the previous owner. $45 dollars spent, and an issue that would have been otherwise covered (even after sifting through 3 pages of fine print) just to be told the limit was already hit.

I purchased a policy from Choice Home Warranty from a very aggressive sales person, who explained in detail that whatever the reason for failing, and no matter the age of the covered item, if it fails it will be replaced period!!!!

I called a local technician and he informed Choice that the system had failed and need to be replaced. Choice refused because they said the system was not the proper size for my house.
I then called Altrol and they sent a technician down to inspect the system, and they also told Choice that the system had failed, and that after checking all possible reasons why, a definitive reason could not be found, and they recommended that the system be replaced. I sent that diagnosis and the description paperwork of the system proving that it was the right size for my house to Choice.

I first visited the site and tried getting a basic quote online, once I did that I got a few emails including one from Myles who later called me. It was very annoying as a customer for him not to realize he'd emailed me and I responded. He also called me by another customer's name which makes it a VERY impersonal experience. He was very condescending over the phone and got upset with me because what he was saying didn't apply to me--as a customer, I was just trying to help him better understand my situation so he could sell me the right products. He spoke over me for much of the conversation until I had given up on the negative interaction and just hung up.
I later did some more research on this company and others and decided to try to call and try one more time. After a few transfers, I finally got on the phone with Patty who was a manager in the resolutions department. She was VERY pleasant and walked me through the different plans you have even though she's not currently in sales. She wanted to make sure I was okay with being transferred to Noel in sales which I appreciated. Noel was very knowledgeable and helpful. He was mindful of my time and made sure that we got what I needed in my overages for a good price.

Terrible customer service, take your money and give excuses for why they don’t cover things.

After canceling with AHS I was hopeful I found a decent and honest home insurance. I guess it wasn't the case. They didn't accept the claim and they kept 100$ over my decision to cancel the policy when I have already paid 2 installments for 250$ (which started 2 days ago!!). It's a theft, they charged for cancellation 50$ fees plus 50$ greediness I guess...

We choose Choice Home Warranty because they had the best reviews and they have absolutely not lived up to them. We even approached the salesperson after having issues with customer service who sold us the warranty and her answer was "I'm not in customer service". It was a huge red flag for us. We had an issue with our bathtub and without going into too much detail they sent out a company that is registered as a home care for the elderly not a plumbing company. To make matters worse they misdiagnosed the issue which we only found out after we had a real plumber come in and do the repair. Don't waste your money or your time with them, there are far better home warranty companies who will treat you with respect and only have reputable contractors sent to your home.

Typically, I am quite understanding of thankless job that customer service entails. However, this was difficult for me to overlook. When it was below 20 degrees, my furnace decided to go out. I called in to report a claim. Spoke to a service rep that took all my information and said that someone would be in touch. After an hour or so, the online claim status did not show any progress so I decided to call to get an update and found out that the claims department was closed. As a result, I went back to the "new claims" department (I guess the after hour service) that originally created the claim. The "supervisor" showed no empathy for the problem that I was facing. However, she was happy to read a statement that basically said "if you don't like the response, you can call your own service person and deal with reimbursement."
Although I understand that policies and system/process limitations. I was completely taken back that someone in a "supervisory" position had NO ability to connect to another human being and did not even make an attempt to understand the situation.

Choice also indicated it's stated in my contract that this would not be covered. There is nothing in the contract which speaks specifically to the items causing my furnace to fail.

At the beginning, I chose Choice Home Warranty for a peace of mind, also because their rate is the cheapest. Now I know there is a reason that their rate is “cheapest”, and I have made a big mistake. Two months after I ordered the plan, one day I found my refrigerator stopped cooling, and I called CHW for an inspection. Technician came and detected condenser fan blade and control board problem, charged service fee and said would come back to repair after one week. One week later, nobody called us, no any follow-up, we had to call the company to check status, after over one hour waiting and transferring, finally one manager answered the phone “oh, we were just trying to contact you, and your claim was denied”. When I asked the reason, he said “your refrigerator problem takes many days to develop, so we can’t pay anything for your claim”. So which appliance problem doesn’t take days to develop?
This is the most unbelievable excuse I heard from a home warranty company. It seems to me that CHW only wants my money, but refuse to pay any claims. Now I understand why it’s cheaper than others, obviously they don’t pay anything. After my denial, I checked CHW reputation online. It’s a pity that I only started checking Choice Home Warranty review after they refused to pay any claim. On BBB, Choice Home Warranty has over 86% negative reviews! I should see that before ordering CHW plan. Also interestingly, the review rate went downward sharply in year 2018, I saw a lot of unhappy customers like me, a lot of 1-star ratings. I even saw comments that CHW refuses to pay any claim higher than $300, which was true according to my experience with CHW. I am writing this just to advice future new homeowners, if you choose CHW, better pray yourself won’t have any repair beyond $300.

I used to be with American Home Shield and I switched to Choice because of the lower deductible fees and what a mistake it was by me. Pretty much any claim you make will be pre-existing and they will not cover it. I placed two separate claims for my AC and fridge 6 and 8 weeks after my initial purchase and both got denied. They question you about the broken appliance to death trying to see if you are responsible for its being broken. Afterwards, when they send the technician, they will claim that the broken part became defective long time ago prior to your purchase of the policy. In my case, they even lied to me about my fridge and said that it was the compressor that was broken and it takes a long time for it to be broken.
However, after I spoke with the technician, he denied that and said it was an electrical circuit board and an overload relay that needed changing. So when I called them about it, they said it's still pre-existing and will not fix. After complaining again about the case two months later, a resolution manager offered to pay half of the costs only because I caught them lying to me about the diagnostics. I cancelled afterwards and will go back to American Home Shield as they never denied any of my previous claims. They are a fraud company and most of the people that gave them good reviews got paid for it. Go check BBB and see what they say about that.

I purchased my policy on Jan 4th. I was sold the policy explaining all the wonderful benefits and everything it covers. Last Night Feb 5th about 3:30 pm we realized we had no heat. I immediately was relieved remembering we had Choice Home Warranty. I called and filed a claim and was amazed at the fast response. They set an appointment for 3-10pm the next day. With below 30 degree temp we figured we would stick out even with 3 kids in the house. The next day the technician comes, diagnosed the problem as a valve and circulator pump and leaves. At this point I am furious. I was under the impression he came to fix my heat. I call Choice and they tell me they have to wait for the technician to call in the problem and then to see if they will approve it and if so they will send him back when he is next available to fix it. So another night no heat below 30 degrees out.
They then call me back and tell me it is a preexisting condition. That this part does not just go. It goes over time. I ask then what is covered because in reality everything breaks in time. They told me to call back the technician. I call back the tech who tells me that is not true. That this part can go at any minute and they told him they were denying the claim because I have only had the policy in effect for 2 days. In effect to me means in effect. I also called another plumber and asked the same question about the parts and was told both those parts can go at any minute and it is not something that goes over time. I called Choice back and was told it is what it is. It is denied. I explained that they are denying the claim for something that is incorrect.
They very clearly stated it is what it is by a very nasty supervisor. I am extremely disappointed in my first attempt at using this policy. I was mislead when told it covers my heating system and would like to know how it was too soon to file a claim if the policy is in effect and was purchased over a month ago. I am wondering what their policy is on how long you must wait. They insinuated that it was preexisting and then waited 30 days in sub 0 degree weather in NY to file a claim. When as of 3:30 on Feb 5th I had heat and I purchased the policy Jan 4th. This company is a scam!

We were experiencing problems with two burners on our Whirlpool ceramic glass cooktop. Called in to make a claim to get it repaired, was told timeframe contractor was going to be there, didn't get a chance to schedule time that might work better for me. Repair man reviewed problem with the cooktop and submitted report to Choice Home Warranty (CHW). Then CHW informed me that my cooktop would need to be replaced. So far no problem, then everything started going south.
They offered $230 allowance for a new cooktop, which I rejected, because we were suppose to get a like product. I had to then phone back and talk with a supervisor (Brad) whom said he would see what he could do. He first tried to deny my claim because I said I had a glass cooktop and they didn't cover glass. After more conversing, he said that he would attempt to get a higher allowance. I informed him at that time that I had gone online and reviewed a number of the stores around and found that the cheapest for $404, but that $450 was common low price.
He came back with an offer of $350. Again, I said that the lowest priced cooktop was $404, so the $350 couldn't buy a replacement, and he further stated that within the contract the replacement was their call, which I had no problem with, it was the allotted amount I had issue with. He then said that they could purchase a ceramic cooktop for $350, so that is all we would be allotted. I said fine, buy the replacement cooktop and have it installed. He then informed me that they were on a purchasing freeze. I asked how long this was going on, he said that it was indefinite from when it began to when it would stop. So I asked then if it was on when I purchased my agreement in 2016 and he quickly adjusted his answer that it started in December.
I asked him directly if this might not be a little bait and switch, since I purchased an agreement for repair/replacement and I can't even get what it will cost me. Additionally, I had to pay for the service appointment and now will have to pay for the installation. CHW is not keeping their end of our agreement, and they are pushing costs onto customers, like me.

We were very appreciative that he was so helpful and could answer every one of our questions without asking for help or stalling. Thank you for your kindness. We look forward to working with your company.

Water leak - Very upset at this company. I have to wait with no water, unable to shower and flush toilets. My husband and I are 77 and this is not a minor inconvenience. I paid 1500 upfront for your insurance. I will be looking for someone else.

I waited from 3-5p 5th, as Choice told me, then called Service; they said it's 6th that Choice Warranty scheduled the wrong day. They had 6th @ 3-5. I made arrangements for someone to be home and my personal schedule's disrupted only to get home and find no one came to repair over and called to be told they were not scheduled.

After 8 service calls they could not fix a tankless water heater. Finally they allowed me to call someone to fix since they could not and I had to pay and submit an invoice. It took 8 weeks to get a check from them. It was a waste of time.

November, bitter cold, my heat quit working. I called Choice Home Warranty and within 2 days I had a reputable service company at my door. Said my system was old but in remarkably good condition. Something stuck in the condenser. Fixed and went on his way. Lasted about 3 weeks. Same issue - blowing cold air and making high whining noise. Again bitter cold and approaching a holiday weekend - Very difficult time getting in contact with Choice Home Warranty. (Story for another day) Several days later (bitter cold and I'm an old lady) a fellow comes to my door with NO CREDENTIALS. Said he drove more than an hour to get there. - Not even a hat with logo. Thought the heat pump was fine until I mentioned the outside part! He said unit is old and a part was rusty.
Called Choice and was advised that they don't cover rust (real reason is the parts are obsolete). Also said I had a Freon leak but he had no Freon with him. Was there for hours (I also had to pay another deductible) and was advised that rust isn't covered and I could get another opinion at my own expense. I did get another opinion at my expense. Unit is old, but no Freon leak. Can now only maintain an inside temp of 62-63. Yes better than outside but not comfortable inside. I submitted all documents to CHW and was advised I should hear something within 24 hrs. So here I am 6 days later, still bitter outside and very cold inside and haven't heard a peep. Also I live in what's considered Metro Atlanta, so why did they send a tech from 70 miles away? I have COPD and this whole situation is not good for my health either.

Call was answered promptly and very professionally. The questions asked were easy to understand. The total call only lasted a very few minutes. I was given my claim number and was told the repair person would contact me. These are the reason I have Choice, and both my children have it. (Gifts from me).

I had another home warranty company for the last 8 years, it came with my house when I purchased it so I stuck with it not knowing how much I was overpaying! A friend of mine told me about choice and thank goddess!! It's saving me half of my old bill and $15 off my service fee! I'm so glad I found this company now and wish I had found it years ago! The customer service is great so far!! Keep it up!

Was difficult to work with getting their contracted techs scheduled. Decisions were made to deny repairs even after I had two different techs give them the same "diagnosis" of the problems. Took forever to contact them and was transferred multiple times to "supervisors" who made decisions based on pictures rather than on the technicians' statement. Just overall had bad experience with them on two different issues and felt they were doing everything to not pay for repairs.

Original Review: Feb. 2, 2018
Update on 12/31/2018: It has been a very frustrating to deal with CHW regarding hot water heater claims. I had an issue with lukewarm water in master bathroom. Plumber determined it was a non-working check valve between recirculating pump and water heater due to normal wear and tear. CHW denied my claim stating they are not liable for sediment or chemical related causes of hot water heater related issues. You will always have potential sediment or chemical related issues as they exist in the water. So be careful if you think most hot water heater repairs are going to be covered because CHW has many exclusions. BTW, this was the second claim they denied as they used the same contract denial clause to deny fixing the thermostat control value on the water heater. I will not be renewing as this is literally money down the drain. The cost of replacing the check value exceeded the cost of the service contract so I have a double loss.
Original: I filed a claim for my water heater soon after my coverage policy started. They originally denied my claim stating that it is a pre-existing condition. The water heater temperature control valve can go out at any time especially during cold weather. The plumber agreed and said there was no way to determine if it was a pre-existing condition. I was on the phone with the claim supervisor who vehemently said it was a pre-existing condition. I was able to get them to pay $150 of the $685 bill which they said was a good-will gesture. Anyway, don't waste your time or money with these scammers as they will try to deny all your claims. I will not renew my coverage.

If I could give 0 stars I would. This is the 3rd claim I filed and nothing is ever covered. Although they gladly take my $45 and get me for additional charges then in the end tell me they can't cover the issue and I have to outsource it. Terrible!!! Even had a plumber chip my tile and never received a response back about it.
