A claim was submitted because the air conditioning unit had stopped producing cold air. The technician responded quickly by phone, but was slow to arrive to my home. He quickly inspected the AC unit and determine with a few minutes that the condenser was the problem and stated to me that it need replacement. When he called the company, he was told to take pictures of the outside unit and the inside unit and spent a long time going back and forth with someone from company on the phone. The inspection last more than 1 1/2 hours. I knew then that it appears that the company was looking for a reason not repair or replace the unit. So I asked the technician was the decision and the problem and he became very elusive and continued to tell me to wait until I get a response from company office. This lack of transparency was unsettling and stressful.
The technician would not repair the unit and before he left he wrote up a receipt for his service call and request that I give him only cash. His service receipt on mentioned that the condenser was not working and the unit was low on R22 refrigerant, and would need to be replaced. The next day I received an email that stated the following, which was not in the service tech report: "It has been determined the condenser coil has developed a refrigerant leak which requires replacement. Condenser coils that leak have been exposed to corrosive or acidic materials that have infiltrated the fins and transfer tubes, damaging the integrity of the coil. The acidic agents cause sections of the coil to become corroded and/or rusted, causing the development of pinhole or microscopic leaks. This refrigerant leak has caused the compressor to overwork, overheat and fail as it was running on low refrigerant levels."
An appeal was filed on the basis that the system stopped working because of normal wear and tear of the unit and requested that the unit be repaired. The next day, I received a message from the Case Manager that my contract stated in another section not connected to the Excluded items for AC unit, that the company does not cover corrosion, although the Case Manager admitted that it is unexpected wear and tear. Each time I asked what is covered then, I kept being referred to read my contract, a strategy to shift the burden to the customer and to let you know that you are one who is responsible for everything and not the company. So I asked about other units in the home, such as the washer and dryers, stove, washing machine, dishwasher, and all I kept being told is to read the contract. It's pretty clear that what is written is not necessarily what they will cover. It appears that the entire team is wired to find a way to deny claims.
When the salesman was contacted who sold me the policy, he quickly responded that if I do not like the plan, I am free to cancel it. It appears he did not care whether he kept me as customer. Basically the message in his behavior is that you can take or leave it, in a very abrupt, non-customer friendly, defensive manner. The feeling I got from everyone I contacted was a sense of distrust, increase stress induction, no sense of a guarantee of customer satisfaction, and no sense that company cared about customers and only about avoiding spending and lost. So I decided to cancel the agreement and then got the biggest slap in the face. I received two phone calls from the sales team to upgrade the policy while the Case Manager told me that I would have to pay $50 dollars to cancel the contract because there is a non-cancelable clause in the agreement. That feels like extortion.
In other words, you cannot cancel the contract unless you pay them. ADVICE: 1. Please read the Cancellation clause; 2) Understand the Liability Limitations because when you sign the agreement you essentially waiving a lot rights demanding payment and legal action; 3) Look at the total amount that you can mediate, which is about $1500; 4) Know the difference between a service agreement and warranty. I would not recommend this company to anyone I know. Their marketing and sales tactics have undertones of misleading information that are not aligned with the culture they pretend to have.

I was very disappointed with how I was treated when I signed up. The guy was not friendly and was not very helpful. On top of that he quoted me that my service fees would be $45 dollars and then when I received my contract it said $60 dollars. I immediately tried to reach out to the guy and left a message and received no callback.

Signed up for Choice Home Warranty over the phone. Never received any paperwork on what is and is not covered. Policy states that plumbing and plumbing systems are covered. I experience a leak from a pipe in the ceiling I was told that because I have steel pipes my claim is denied. My home was built in the 1920s. It has steel and copper piping. First sentence of plumbing under the warranty state "Leaks and breaks of water, drain, gas, waste or vent lines, except if caused by freezing or roots. –" further down they disclaim galvanized pipes. I called to complain and was liken to someone calling their auto insurance company to get their car repaired when it breaks down. I found the comment both condescending and disrespectful. I hope they don't talk to all their customer this way. I believe my complaint to legitimate and worthy of a better response. I will be reviewing whether or not to renew with this company. Very rude.

I purchased a 5-year policy with Sean but he was the first person I spoke with about a policy.

I made a claim for my hot water heater - denied. I made a claim for the A/C unit in my rental property - also denied. The reasons for denial are ludicrous and plenty. I will be looking for a company to replace CHW and will not be using them for my other properties. I'll definitely discourage anyone else from contracting with them either. The fees are charged easily enough but the benefits are impossible to get. Can I give less than 1 star?

The salesman sold us our policy and told us that it included everything with our pool. We had to replace the salt water chlorinator and they did not cover it. Later we had an issue with our air conditioner. They sent someone who said there was an issue with the compressor but the company would not cover it and I would need to replace the AC. I read the policy which said the compressor was covered and called. They said it was covered, but would need to be approved and the serviceman would have to come back. I called back to see if it was approved and they said yes it was, but no one ever came back or responded. I had another company come out and figured out that all I needed was a new thermostat. I do not recommend Choice Home Warranty at all.

You do not want to publish this. I am not disappointed with Choice Home Warranty, I am very disappointed with the service provider you sent out. After visiting with my HVAC and notifying me that my condenser died in temperatures of 110 degrees and that he was going to get me the best price for a part and installation that is covered under your policy - I called your company and was reassured that this was covered - the service provider's offices advised me contrary to this.
At 84+ and a heart patient with quintuple by-pass surgery and with recent 3 stints there was no way that I was going to be able to survive the heat. I was left with having to have the part installed, as well as other required piece of equipment and the new wiring that went with it by another service provider all at the cost of $4,100. I appreciate that you will re-reimburse me the cost of the part $700 but that was not what I signed up and prepaid for 3.5 years. I had pre-advised you of the necessity for service but it was not forth-coming at a time of my need. I never want to see that service provider at my home again for any reason. I have provided you with all the information - check your files

I recommend that you choose another company because Choice Home Warranty does not pay its claims. I got this policy on a rental and waited past the 30 day period before using them. My tenants complained that the AC unit was running loud. So the technician that the company had selected came out and said the compressor was going bad.
The technician recommended that the unit be replaced. I had always maintained the unit, I cleaned it annually and cleaned the filters a couple of times each year. This policy does not even pay for the full cost to replace it but only $2000 on what would be a $4500 bill. Within an hour they sent me an email denying the claim with what appeared to be a prepared denial letter. When I called to cancel the policy I was put on hold and hung up on about 6 times before they finally cancelled it. Again choose another company. I don't want to name drop but there is another one out there with high ratings who I now use and am very satisfied.

I signed up in May, 2018 and they customized my package since I didn't need everything they included plus I had some extras. That part was good and I only had to pay $45 for a service call. About a month and a half later my refrigerator started to act up so I called and they said they would assign someone to check it out. I waited a few days and then got a someone assigned. They emailed me a date, (you don't get to choose) and as soon as I saw it I immediately called the company to tell them I needed to reschedule. I had to leave a voice message. The day of my originally scheduled appt they called at 10:47 am to see if anyone would be home within the next and to call to let them know. I came back early from my vacation, I just had a feeling and had just missed the call by about 5 minutes, so I immediately called the phone number and told them I would be here. My window was 11 am to 4 pm. They never returned my call and never showed up.
I called Choice Home Warranty and the rep tried to call the company and he had to leave a voice mail also. He said to wait since I had until 4 pm. I did and they never showed. I called Choice Home Warranty to let them know to cancel my policy and they convinced me to let them try again and my first service call was free so I gave them another chance. A week goes by and I get an email stating that they are trying to get somebody and I would have a choice of reimbursement if I got my own company. Wasn't chancing it at this point. So today I get an email that Sears is coming but this time I have to pay $45 since "I" missed my appt. Yeah right!
I called Choice Home Warranty today and told them I'm done, I'm fed up with the bull and misleading me. I felt like this was done on purpose. They waited until my 2nd payment went through before they found someone who can't come out until the 19th of July. They in my opinion are very misleading or the people they have who represent them are. I cancelled my policy and told them they should at least refund my payment from yesterday since they could not accommodate me and he rudely said, "You get no refunds!" I stated I wanted an email showing where my policy was cancelled in print. At this point I don't trust them.

My orig service I called 6-14, got scheduled for 6-26. On 6-26 the tech canceled. Told me to reschedule my call with Choice. I was responded to with a 2 day wait. On day tech arrived I told him what I found wrong, ref. Leaked all refrigerant had leaked at the outdoor section. I was told leak test not included. Choice will call. While here tech took pic of indoor coil and reported to Choice with pics. Tech was here less than 15 mins. I never received a call from Choice until I made hot response e-mails, I found the leak and told Choice. I was told a tech will be here in 2 days. When he looked, he said, "Yes it's a leak," and left. Said Choice will call me, again thru e-mail back and forth.
I was told by Choice the leak is not covered due to corrosion at which time I sent pic showing no corrosion at all, but Choice kept responding corrosion not covered. On July 2nd I fixed the leak and had to fix my own system cause they would not, even with proof/pics showing no corrosion, so I sent cost of repair for reimbursement and was denied for any assistance, also the perfect air tech requested me to make my service check to a person not the company which is tax evasion. My cost was 2 plus weeks with a hot house and wife. I will never advise anyone to purchase Choice Home Warranty services.

(Ridiculous!) My tech arrived at 7:00 a.M. Cst Saturday morning as promised. I called Choice Home who kept me on hold so long, my tech finished the repairs, couldn't sit and wait any longer for Choice to pickup the phone so he left after I paid him $240.00.
Choice would not reply to my email I sent while I was on hold either. Then 2 weeks later denied to pay anything towards our claim stating "no authorization number," how convenient!!! They could of issue an authorization number Friday night while I had Wyatt on the phone or they could of called my home at 7:00 A.M. CST to approve it! (But that would of been real customer service!) Bottom line, this is just another scam warranty fly by night who will just change their name after they screw all the customers they can and run out of members!

This was our first claim and so far it had just been an okay experience. I put the claim in on a Thursday and it was the following Saturday before we got the garage fixed only after having to handle it myself and do a reimbursement claim. With American Home Shield at my old house things were done in a couple days and I never had to go through a reimbursement claim. I am still waiting to see how fast the reimbursement goes through. Also I find it ridiculous that you all weren't able to get someone to do the claim through you all so you make me handle it myself but yet I still had to have the technician call you all to tell you what was needed to be fixed and how. Especially since I was on hold for over 30 minutes to get ahold of a claims specialist which made the garage technician have to leave for another job and come back later.

Both these items, my refrigerator and dishwasher were claimed in early May. Hamilton Home Appliances was assigned to both and deemed the dishwasher unfixable and needed to get a part for the refrigerator. When I contacted Hamilton's technician he said he could no longer work for Choice. I then had to get back with Choice and finally technicians were assigned from Sears Home Services, but 2 separate Claims because Sears did not have a technician that could do both. The first Claim be Sears on the dishwasher was also unfixable and I am still waiting for my $250 settlement which I believe to be low but better than the oven claim I had to make last year.
I finally got another technician from Sears, Mark **. He found the part and was calling in for your authorization but the called failed. He had to leave.

I have very bad experience with this company and their coverage. If you think that you are buying a home warranty so in case if any appliance fails it will be repaired then just it is a wishful thinking. I had recently two claims one for a sump pump and home AC unit cooling failure. Both claims were rejected because the sump pump that was covered was actually a sewage pump (they never clarify this whether you have a sump pump or a sewage pump in your home) second that in AC unit capacitor was blocked by particles thus it is not a normal wear and tear so they refused to replace the capacitor (cost $12.00) and filling the Freon that was blocked by getting air intake.
In my experience the home appliance warranty is just a trap to lure naive customers so be careful if you are thinking to purchase a home appliance warranty and must read very carefully the terms and conditions which unfortunately are not available at the time of purchasing the policy. If you visit the website you will not find the details of the coverage for each appliance so you are kept in complete dark until you buy the policy. You find this when you make a claim.

I purchased this warranty two months ago for the home that we were moving into. I had a problem with my air conditioner. It was cooling, but the compressor would never shut off. I ended up with a $200 electric bill for less than 700 square feet! I called the warranty company. They arranged an appointment with a company. The day the company was supposed to be out here, I get a call from the company saying that their technician had a family emergency and they needed to reschedule for the next day. I agreed. The next day they call me and say that their technician had been injured on the job. What, they only have one technician? This was July 2nd. So now they weren't going to be able to get out until July 5th. I said, "Forget it." and called the warranty company back. They assigned another company. They were supposed to be out here yesterday between 9 a.m. and noon.
At 11:40, I called and said that I assumed they weren't going to be out by noon as they were to give me a half-hour lead phone call. They said 'oh no, we've been swamped and he won't be out there with till about 1:30'. I said that it would have been nice to have a phone call so I didn't have to sit around all morning. He got out here and supposedly fixed the main problem, but I didn't have air conditioning now. There was no blower. The tech tried to say that the blower wasn't working when he got here. He even told his boss that the blower had never worked. At one point, there was heat coming out of the ducts. He then said it was the wire between the thermostat and the air conditioner and it was going to cost $636 to replace and the warranty company wasn't going to cover it. I said, "Forget it and put the unit back the way it was." He refused. He then proceeds to put the cover back on the unit and didn't even put the screws back in.
He said he wasn't going to wait for hours and he was going to go get something to eat. He leaves my house in Florida on a 94 degree day with no air conditioning. I have four animals. He never came back. I called the repair company and told them I wanted the old part back. I was told it would be brought back later that night. It was never returned. I called Choice Home Warranty, they said the wire wasn't covered because that was electrical, not part of the air conditioner. I then called my own guy. He was out within two hours and within 30 minutes found the problem. It was a capacitor and a relay. He had my unit fixed. I have now canceled my policy but had to pay a cancellation fee of over $100. This is a total rip-off. Beware.

The unit needed replacing. Even per your recommendation. Yet you consider it an upgrade and only pay about 30% of the bill for the compressor only. I had the lowest quote, even lower than your technician to fix the issue. I know per your guidelines this is called an upgrade, in the real world it's called fixing the problem because installing a new compressor would not have worked and neither your company or the technician recommend this. Also the last day of trying to get this resolved, I was disconnected 4 times with your regular toll free number prompt for claims with no call back after being connected.

After repeated calls and long phone holds, Choice twice told me they were waiting for the inspector to reply. Finally got through to Choice that I still had the problem, another inspector was assigned. I waited 4 hours (11:00 AM to 3:00 PM) and inspector was an no show.

Choice Home Warranty sent a service technician out to see why my air conditioning unit was not cooling. The service technician diagnosed the problem provide me a receipt of service came back the next day to install the parts. After installing the new parts some kind of way he shorted the air compressor and tripped the electrical outlet, the air compressor was never an issue but after installing the parts and tripping the electrical outlet the air compressor stopped working and the fan stopped turning which both were working prior. He advised he would contact Choice and advise them of my new issue he left my resident and said he would get back with me.
I contacted Choice to see what next steps would be I was advised that I needed to wait for the technician to contact them. I kept getting the runaround from the technician stating he contacted Choice and Choice saying they are waiting for the technician to provide tag number from the unit but that the compressor would be covered. After this run around game for 2 days and me waiting a total of 1 hours each time I call after calling about 5 times to speak with someone, I asked to Choice customer service agent to assign a new technician to come out and read the tag number.
When the new agent came out he reviewed everything and advised the compressor was the issue. We explained the compressor was working prior to the previous technician coming out. He was able to verify the wiring of the parts being installed incorrectly and the tripping of the electrical outlet. He advised that he would put everything in the notes and inform Choice. At that time Choice denied replacing my compressor stating grounding issue. I filed a complaint. Spoke with Bree case manager. She said there was nothing she could do after I explained to her the entire situation. She said Choice is not responsible if a technician comes to my home and does not fix my appliance but further damages it. I asked to speak with someone else. She said she is have the only 1 who could assist me.

He asked for a shop vac which I didn't have but found a vac out in the garage. He said it was a shop vac and used it to suck out the water in the dishwasher but it wasn't a wet/dry vac and nasty water sprayed everywhere on the floor. I had to find and grab towels and help him with the mess. He figured out the pump was bad in the dishwasher.

My central air conditioning unit went out June 15. I submitted my claim to Choice Home Warranty on June 18th. They supposedly scheduled an appointment with a technician on June 22nd, 2018 with a window of 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM. I took a half day off of work for my appointment, my window closed and I called the technician to see what happened. The technician returned my call, he stated that Choice had never scheduled any appointments with him and that he received several calls that day regarding appointments from Choice customers. He said he wouldn't be working with Choice in the future due to this.
I waited 3-4 days for Choice to find a replacement technician for me, finally Choice contacted me stating that they could not find anyone to provide me with service, and that I had to go through their reimbursement program. Which meant, I had to find my own technician and I had to pay out of pocket for any repairs, and if the repairs were covered I would be reimbursed in up to 30 days.
I scheduled an appointment with the same technician originally assigned, based on my experience on the phone I decided that I would like to work with him. He found that there was a leak in my system, and that the entire unit needs to be replaced. I submitted the documentation to Choice's reimbursement program; wherein, they stated my claim was rejected because of rust, but that I could appeal the decision. The technician made no mention of rust, so I appealed the decision stating that rust was not listed as a cause of the unit failure in the documents provided by the technician.
Choice Home Warranty determined that the only way for a leak to occur in an Air Conditioning System is due to rust. "While rust and/or corrosion cannot be prevented and normal wear and tear it is a limitation of our coverage. Please refer to your terms and conditions section F number 1; We are not responsible for malfunction or improper operation due to rust or corrosion of all systems and appliances."
I replied to this stating that the cause wasn't determined to be rust by the technician. The correspondent claimed "The only way for coils to leak on a a/c system is if they’re rusted and or corroded." I rebutted this claim stating additional reasons that a leak could occur; worn rubber seals, punctures due to impact damage, etc. I also requested a refund of my policy, since they failed to even provide me with the most basic function of a home warranty, by failing to provide me with a technician. In short, they wouldn't cover my claim based upon unfounded assumptions, and they failed to even provide me with service. I wouldn't recommend working with them. I would avoid Choice Home Warranty at all costs, save your money or go elsewhere!

I bought this warranty to lessen my stress about appliances and HVAC unit, but since I got them it's been nothing but stress with them besides the long wait time when you call them. But when you finally get someone they have no idea what was communicate to previous agent, but the last straw for me was I put a claim on 5/4/2018 it took them almost two month to come up with a decision on my claim which was denied after I paid all that money every time they sent a contractor and told me I have to make repairs before they can cover me which I did and still denied my claim saying my condenser have rust.
It suppose to have rust. It call wear and tear from all the time it's been working it is ice and water on a metal eventually, so they make you believe everything is cover no matter how old the unit is, but read the small print and don't get sucked into that low fee of $45 when a contractor come to your home. They are the worst and will never refer anyone to them. They do not care about your system working or not. They will drag it out until you are frustrated.

I was using the reimbursement process and was on hold for 25 minutes. This whole time the service man had to wait here just to get someone to talk to and then after we finally got through the questions took another 10 minutes at least to get approval to replace the part. All total that phone call was 36 minutes long. Most service people do not want to wait that long at all.

It took an entire month to get my refrigerator fixed. The first technician who was supposed to do the job did not show up, the second did not fix the problem, the third did not show up twice. These missed appointments wasted about 12 hours of my time. Choice Warranty did give me the option of finding someone else to fix it, and I had Samsung send someone out who fixed it and called Choice for reimbursement.
Due to all the problems having a technician actually show up at the house and having to call for reimbursement, I spent hours and hours on the phone with Choice Warranty mostly because of the excessively long hold times. Reimbursement alone took 2 hours and 19 minutes on the phone. Furthermore, to set up claim, appointments and report problems, I spent the following time on the phone: 5/19 - 2 phone calls - 13 minutes and 32 minutes, 5/30: 22 minutes, 6/1 - 39 minutes, 6/13 - 23 minutes, 6/18 - 23 minutes, 6/25 - 8 minutes, 6/22 - 9 minutes.
Thus, to get a $195.00 reimbursement, I had a broken refrigerator for almost a month and spend 6 hours and 7 minutes on the phone (most of that on hold) and 18 hours at the house either waiting for people to fix the problem or sitting with them while they attempted to do so (12 hours waiting for people who never showed up, 3 hours having a guy fix it wrongly, 3 hours having a guy fix it right). That is a grand total of 23 hours! This is ridiculously poor service. The hold message kept telling me, over and over again, to recommend Choice Warranty to friends and family: All I could think about was how many people I could advise to choose another company - pretty easy to remember - don't choose Choice Warranty.

I never write reviews. They will find every reason to deny your claim. Had a my AC went out, they had a tech to come in and checked. The tech told me they will not pay for the leak check. I ended paying my own tech to do the leak test. It took over 2 hrs hold and 5 different phone calls. I ended up begging the rep to connect me and the tech on the phone so I can explain the test to the authorization, finally after 15 mins I get thru to them. I explaining to him (he was rude by the way).
They sent me an email few hrs later to tell me they'll wont cover valve compressor ($50 part) so claim was denied. The sad part was they could have called me at least to me know rather than email. I tried to call the 10 mins after I receive the email and the office was closed. SMH. Total nonsense and inconsiderate. I leave in Arizona at 112 degree and with kids and they even consider that. We have been staying out the house for days. I have over 2 million followers on social media and I'll make sure they don't sign up. They breaking people's back.

Back in November/December 2017, two of my ceiling fans were making a horrible screeching sound. Choice Home Warranty assigned a "technician" to come out and diagnose the problem. The technician set up a time with me, but never showed up. I called him and he said his vehicle had broken down, and he would not be able to come. So I had to start the process all over again with Choice. They assigned another "technician" to come to my home... about two weeks later this technician and his helper show up to replace two ceiling fans, which I had already purchased. The "boss" was on his phone almost the entire time. He hastily installed a ceiling fan that was wobbling. Again, I called Choice to complain. A week later, the boss' "helper" came out and re-installed the ceiling fan correctly. Never have I had such drama over something so simple.

After speaking with my daughter concerning my current Home warranty was increasing. She went online and found Choice Home Warranty. After filling out a online information a representative gave me a call. The only problem I had with his new man (Jake **) would not give me enough information until I give him my credit card information. I asked about senior discount. He would not give me information until I commit to a policy. In my opinion if a customer is asking for information concerning a company to my a decision that company representative should not ask for payment before then say to a customer, "I'm not working on commission."

He told he put 2 pounds of Freon as it was low and suggested me to put leak proof agent to prevent any leakage. He told the cost of the leak proof agent will not covered by Choice. So I am forced to give that money. He wanted either cash or check and not credit card. He told the a/c will be cooling fully within 8 hours. But the temperature was 83 before he started work and reach down only up to 79 up to this morning. I was totally frustrated. Now the ball is in your court.

My machine has been broken for almost 2 weeks; there are way too many delays in your process that have cancelled out any "peace of mind" that I was supposed to get with your warranty. The first repair company that you were supposed to send out was a "no show and no call". I WASTED 6 hours of my precious time, waiting from 3-8 for this flaky company. Second company, who is supposed to do repairs on my machine has been out almost a week ago, but I call them everyday and still do not have an appointment to get the repairs done. I have also called you several times, and I found out the problem was that you were texting the approval to the wrong number for this company. If I wouldn't have (again) spent lots of my own time, nobody would have cared and my machine would never be repaired.
Your company is next to worthless, hence the 2 stars. I was between rating you 1 star and 2. There is NO WAY I will ever renew with your company with the poor service and communication you give. Not all of your technicians are capable, either. The first company that I waited 5 hours for over a week ago was a real estate development company sent to repair a washing machine, and they never called or showed, despite my placing calls and texts to them.
Your company needs to be revamped with the customer in mind. Here I sit with a broken washing machine and no idea when the repairs will be made, so I have had to go to a laundromat. My first claim with you was disappointing as well. You deemed that my 11 year old stainless steel gas stove would cost too much to repair ($480?), so you initially offered me $350 to go out and buy a stove/range that cost over $2,000. At least the technician was reliable and capable.
