Well this is the second time that it has not been right. The first the part took 4 weeks and now it adds a few more for the money that I pay to you guys monthly for years. This should not happen. So I have been without a dryer for 6 weeks. I guess make it a hard inconvenience for my family and I.just very disappointed. There should be a way to not put your customers through this. Very disappointed.

Very pleased with pricing offered. Being on fixed income it was great! Dropped Fidelity Ins after more than 10 yrs with them. Representative was upfront with best value offered. However, I realized the info from my credit card was taken rather than my debit for the auto-pay. He should have been more careful in that area. I had to call back to fix that.

I called them to put in a claim because my AC was not working. They sent out a technician whom is under contract with them (Chris with PanoSource Services). When he gets here he tells me my unit is not working because my filter is dirty and I have not provided "the Manufacturer required service to the unit..." Upon further diagnosis by their Tech Chris, it was discovered that my coils were leaking Freon, so the unit did not have any Freon... He told me it would be about $1600.00. He then tried to sell me up to get an entire unit for $6,000.00. The Next day they called told me that all they could pay me was $100 for my claim because I did not maintain my unit. From the minute the their Technician came into my home his whole goal was to deny my claim. This company is a Con company and should not be in Business.

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... They actually cover NOTHING but will take your money and frustrate you to cancel.

I actually called twice. The first time the rep Tedder was very unprofessional. He was so rude to me. Which I ended up calling him a "DICK" and hung up on him. I don't wish anyone to lose their job but he really doesn't belong in customer service. The second rep that I spoke with was excellent. Because of his professionalism I decided to get a home warranty.

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.

A REVIEW HELPS BUT WITH CHOICE HOME WARRANTY WE NEED TO ACT. PLEASE PLEASE take a minute to read and make a difference. We need to do something 843 Negative Reviews. 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!!!
Are we just doomed to be a victim of this CHOICE HOME WARRANTY COMPANY? Or is there something we can do about it? BBB WHY ARE YOU NOT PULLING THEIR LICENSE TO PRACTICE. I feel so helpless when you become another victim of this HOME CHOICE WARRANTY. Dishonest company with the same line and tactics. They are misleading and false advertising. BBB please help the consumer, help me pull their license to practice, you have enough complaints read them, see how they have a pattern, the stories are the same.
It looks like they all have the same training, not to do anything for their policy holders, and deny all claims we need to do something. Victim of Choice Home Warranty open a complaint with the BBB. Only this way we will stop them. On the Left top corner it says 'File a Complaint' in blue letters. You need to take a couple of minutes please, please or call BBB. Only this way we can STOP THEM AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

Claim for broken HVAC. Took five (5) days for work to be completed, but only three (3) days were extremely hot. Original appointment scheduled by CHOICE was for the next Saturday, and it was luck that I called contractor as they were not open on weekends. Rescheduled appointment and they were prompt on first visit but communication with me could have been better. Various parts required replacing, and the contractor was delayed by CHOICE having to approve the acquisition of parts.

When I contacted Choice originally and had the Garbage disposal removed the contractor did not do things properly, which caused leakage and the garbage disposal went out. Then when I called and waited from 11-3:00 pm, the contractor never called to express that they'd be late. I called them at 3:08 and then their dispatcher had informed me. Then later she changed her story and claimed that she called at 8 am and left a message. I screenshotted my missed calls and voicemails, which there was nothing from them. They never showed up!

I have been with CHW for roughly 18 months. In this time I have made two claims. On the first claim, after diagnosis by a tech (and paying service charge), CHW notified me that the system was not covered by them. They gave me a free service call after that issue. 2nd claim, tech was assigned promptly. Didn't show up on his window, rescheduled for another day, then no-call-no-showed for that appointment. Asked CHW to reassign the claim, which they did (to the same tech as the first time). I then asked them to reassign it again, which they did (to the same tech as the first time). I went ahead and scheduled again with the tech. You probably guessed it, no-call-no-show. I called the tech the next day to ask where he was and what happened and this gentleman responded with "you know what, ** you buddy! You're a whiny **.". Relayed that to CHW, they offered me $320 to fix the garbage disposal myself... Cool.

I am going to send this info to BBB, MD States Attorney, social media and any news outlet that will listen.

I went online to look at home warranty companies. Unfortunately in order to get a quote you have to put your phone number in. I was just shopping around as my current plan expires in September and I wanted to see if there was something better. Within a minute or two I received a call from this company and I explained that I was simply shopping around and was not interested in making any commitment at this time. I asked that my number be removed and was assured it was. In the past four hours, I have received at least 6 calls from this company, one from a different number. This is pure harassment at this point. I guess they are hard up for business. I would not use this business based on their harassing tactics. As I am typing this, my phone is ringing with yet another call from this company. I guess they don't understand.

First time making a claim under policy# **. Called and was referred to using the CHW site to make a claim - positive to me rather than waiting on phone. Made claim and promptly received email acknowledging and that CHW was seeking a technician to address the problem. Subsequently received another email that CHW potential technicians had not responded and that I could use my own Service Provider. When I pressed the link to see how that would work it sure looked like I had made the election to find my own technician; confirmed by receipt of CHW email that CHW would now stop looking for a tech. 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. Pump has now been replaced. In this particular instance it was great to be able to use a company I was very familiar with to fix the problem. It was also a very positive experience to find that the claim was promptly addressed.

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.

After consultation with the claim department over the phone, they came to the conclusion that someone had stolen the expensive gas because there was no leak!
Then I called two more technicians at my own cost, and they both said the leak was from the evaporator. CHW did not admit the leak in the evaporator as it was a big cost for them. Simply, they did their best not to cover the cost of the evaporator or Freon. My several attempts to convince them about the reality and other technicians' opinions were not successful.

They took the service charge and have not called to schedule time to come back and repair. Original tech gave call to someone else- we are not happy. We have called several times to ask that they keep in touch regarding an ETA.

I had a very Professional and Pleasant discussion with the Evett the Claims Manager who was able to establish and set the Claim for the work to be done at the house! Our discussion only took about 15 or 20 minutes and was successful overall.

I will never do business with a spamming company. They might say they had nothing to do with it, but if that is the case then why would a spammer spam me for free? When I get spammed and I cannot directly reply because it goes to some fake account - then that is spam in my book. I never did business nor have I ever asked for a quote. This company needs to rethink how they advertise because it has annoyed me enough to speak out now. I am TIRED of companies spamming me. How do they get my e-mail address? Then they just address it to my e-mail address... Yeah - they need to go away. Do not reward bad behavior.

After going with another warranty company for a year and being very disappointed, I called CHW. What a pleasant and positive surprise from the moment I spoke with Sal to the final agreement! I’m getting so much value for total home protection.

Put me to start May 1 and said cancel AHS ins, on April 30 no problem. 30days free. Can have a claim on same day insured? WRONG my insurance will charge me till July 1st. Should have called them first. Now have to pay $192 in three installments. Puts a burden on me since use to pay $79. He said have to have full payment in 90 days? Then kept pressuring me to buy the veterans policy which I would have to come up with $400 or more in three installments?? I called back and now you should charge my Master Card on July 1st instead of May 1st.

It took too long to get a repairman to fix the problem. My stove went out on Sunday and my appointment was Thursday. It's not like the washer went out when you can't cook and have to go out for your meals it cost too much for two people for that long.

The people at Choice Home Warranty were fair and honest. The service was slightly delayed, but very accurate; the service person was polite, informative, and pleasant. This was our first experience working with Choice Home Warranty and I would rate it as very good.

Was very pleased with Rooter 911 Plumbing. They called to establish an appointment, once to confirm 24 hrs in advance, & once a half hour prior to arrival. The technician was courteous & efficient and left the area spotless. Would definitely recommend them for any future plumbing work.

The stove is over heating. A tech was here last week and had to order a part. The part was delivered and the Tech will be here today. I saw a fee on the Sears email stating an $89 cost. Since this is covered under the Choice Warranty, I assume I will not have to pay anything other than the $45 I have already paid.

I have had two HVAC technicians come to the house. Both indicated the issues with my unit were normal wear and tear for an 18 year old unit. I am also pretty sure the first technician shorted out my thermostat. I have the pictures from the 2nd technician and am trying to get the pictures from the 1st one. CHW makes it very difficult, if not impossible, to share the pictures they have. This should be a very simple process in today's age of technology. I can only assume it does not help CHW's case to share photos with Customer. I have spoke with three of your reps. Every time I countered the reason for refusal to cover the compressor I was given a new reason. I understand we can disagree, but CHW makes it next to impossible to have an educated and honest discussion about the decision made by the mysterious CHW technicians.
First excuse I got was debris caused the issue. I went and looked and there was 1/2'-1" of debris in the bottom of the cabinet, which is below the level of the base of the compressor and my compressor is enclosed in a galvanized insulated cabinet debris does not get to it. Then I was told it was the coils that were clogged, not true. Then I was told the coil fins were knocked over, I was not able to see this issue thru the cabinet, likely not true. The three photos I have do not show any of this. Then the best is rust and corrosion on the lines and compressor. There is a quarter size spot of surface rust on the compressor, which in no way interferes with its function. I have not been able to find corrosion on the line. Again, only the quarter sized spot shows up in the photos I have seen. You send two separate technicians out to inspect and they say normal wear and tear, (per what they told me) and your in house technician makes the opposite decision.
This is purely an attempt to not make good on my contract, versus serving the customer with an honest effort. The Last Rep Brad (4 stars so far), was the most helpful and calm of the ones I spoke with. Gina seemed to be raising her voice with me. I did not raise mine, but I did interrupt her a few times. I understand it is all about money and the bottom line and there are legitimate reasons to deny a claim. But, I have not been provided the evidence that even partially supports CHW's decision.

I would like to commend Clark ** for his knowledge, professionalism and courtesy in informing me of the value of this warranty coverage. I just recently lost my very talented friend that has always helped with any repairs needed in my house. This Choice Home Warranty has put me more at ease knowing I have someone to call when needed.

Worst customer service ever. Every time we have had to utilize them it has not been a good experience. After they pre authorized a repair amount they tried to screw us out of the amount they committed to. After waiting over a week, we had to also find our own company to service a dryer because they didn’t have one. Same thing with our central vac we are 9 days out no service.

My Plummer showed up on time. Plunged the sink for quite a while. She was in and out the front door to her truck for various things, different plungers, tools. Time went by and I walked into the kitchen and my white floor was completely covered with black scuff marks from the rubber sole of her boots. I was upset. I said, "Look what you're doing, you're making a hell of a mess, where are your shoe covers?" "Oh, yeah, I’ll get some..." I turned around and she had black footprints from the front door across the living room. I was livid by then.
Our carpet is new and we are still making payments on it. I scrubbed and scrubbed it isn’t coming out, meanwhile she in clogged the drain. I paid her and told her to leave. She kept trying to wipe up the kitchen floor, I said, "Leave it and go, I have to go to work. I’ll clean it up later." Then she wanted me to get her a bucket of scrub water so she could scrub the carpet. "No. Get out." By then she had gone to her van and put on two torn grocery bags on her dirty boots. Way too late. I tried to call and lodge a complaint with the company but she answered, she’s the boss. Can you imagine that. She was the most irresponsible person I had ever met. Even the cable guy puts shoe covers on. Worst company, you need to take her off you contractors list. I want to have my carpet cleaned and send the bill to her.

This is my first experience with Choice Home Warranty and at this point I am very disappointed in the service. The technician came out on Monday and diagnosed the problem. I’ve called Choice 2 times since that day to find out why my garbage disposal still hasn’t been fixed yet. The 2nd day I called to find what’s going on and they called the technician and put me on hold and got back with me and said the company would be calling me to set up a service date. It’s day 4. No one has contacted me and my garbage disposal is still broke and I can’t use the sink because the water backs up into that side of the sink.

We purchased Choice Home Warranty while renting a home 4 years ago and loved the coverage. When we purchased our home 2 years ago we made sure to go back to Choice Warranty. We had a electrical issue after Hurricane Matthew, Choice sent a very good electrician out. He took care of the issue and we were satisfied. Later we had a issue with our refrigerator cooling, again Choice sent out another quality repair service. Then we had a problem with our well pump. Now things change, the plumber they sent was out of his mind, he wanted to practically reinvent the wheel and Choice denied the claim. My husband ended up fixing the issue himself, and he is a disabled Vet who didn't need to be doing the repairs. He suffered for days after working on something we pay a warranty company to repair.
Then we had a stopped-up drain from our kitchen. The plumber came out (which he behaved a bit sketchy). Told Choice the access was under water. He couldn't get to it the blockage. He didn't have a snake long enough to get to the problem. Again, Choice let us down. We were stuck repairing something a good plumber would have taken care of in less than an hour. Then we have Heat/Air cond. problems. Bear in mind I have made CHOICE aware of the fact that my 78-year-old father who has breathing issues and has oxygen lives with us and we have to have A/C!!! THEY DON’T CARE!!! First tech came out. Looked at the unit. Said he had to order a part. A week later he came back. Installed part. In a week we had another issue. A different company comes out. They say the person before let Freon out and created a leak. Another few weeks go by and we are having A/C problems again. Yet another company comes out, never the same people.
This company has one tech and he is young and has no clue. He looks at our unit inside and says it's rusted and that's why it's leaking. Choice denies the claim. Come on people it's aluminum in that area he is referring to, and it's A/C. Have you ever heard of condensation??? So we pay $95.00 for a well know reputable A/C company to come out and they review everything and put in writing that COIL is NOT RUSTED on their invoice, but all of our Freon has leaked out. Now mind you we have paid $45.00 for every incompetent person Choice has sent out. We still have NO A/C or heat unless it's on emergency, which is outrageous to use. Then we have one more issue, we lose power at one end of our home. Our home was built in the 50's and has several updates but there are still areas that are original. At any rate, Choice sends an electrician. He takes one look and says, “It's old wiring it's not covered,” and he was very rude!!
By the time my husband dealt with him and Choice Warranty people he was so angry, I thought he was going to have a heart attack. COME ON PEOPLE WE HAVE A WARRANTY FOR A REASON!!! Would we need a warranty if we lived in a NEW home. Needless to say we are very unhappy with Choice Warranty and their service techs. What have we paid for for the last 2 years. We will be cancelling our so-called warranty this month! None of these companies seem to want to fix anything they say they will. Oh and replacing something if they can't fix it, WHAT A JOKE! They will just deny the claim before they would ever do that. We are very unhappy consumers!!!

CHW has failed us big time. They offer something called "peace of mind"! In our case they failed to deliver! They offer an umbrella on a rainy day but will quickly yank it from you when it begins to rain. In early Mar 2018 my 11 yr old A/C heat pump failed. Having been a member for 4 years, I called CHW. Two days later, their $45 technician arrived. Within 5 minutes he had the top off the outside unit, took a few phone pics, went back to his truck and sent them to CHW. Within 10 minutes they contacted him, "Claim Denied"! Apparently the coolant had leaked out, due to rust and corrosion!
I contacted ARS who had an $89 technician here that day. He advised that Tech 1 could not make that diagnosis without checking the inside unit in the attic, probably because he was too lazy to get his ladder and do a little climbing. After all, the job only pays $45. Tech 1 did not even have a company name on his truck or on his invoice. The following day, a $6600 unit was installed at my expense. I have filed two claims with CHW. Their response, "they will not pay but will refund my premium". I requested they send me the form to do so! Three weeks later it has not arrived! If you are looking for "Peace of Mind" stay away from Choice Home Warranty!
