Choice Home Warranty is in violation of CAN SPAM laws. They send their emails under different addresses/aliases each time, and do not honor unsubscribes. I receive at least two emails per day from this poor excuse for a company, none of which are relevant to me. I have unsubscribed many times and continue to receive them. Each separate email in violation of the CAN-SPAM Act is subject to penalties of up to $40,654 - the FTC needs to enforce this for us poor consumers! I'm about ready to change my email address just to get away from them.

I am very pleased with Choice Home Warranty. I called Sunday night to report an issue with my air conditioning unit, I received an email the next day with an appointment and the name of the company that was coming to repair the air. The technician came on time. He was very courteous and fixed it right away. Thank you Choice Home Warranty for such good service.

When we subscribe to Choice at the beginning (Sept. 2017) we had agreed on a 2nd refrigerator in the garage. When we filed a claim 1-22-2018, we found out that it was not covered. The gentleman who wrote the policy put down a stand alone freezer. The lady who helped with the claim (Lajuane) was very helpful in changing it to the right 2nd refrigerator in the garage. She was most helpful. Thank You.

They are very quick to respond and they respond it’s not covered. The water heater wasn’t covered because it had corrosion on top and it leaked in the middle. The air-conditioner wasn’t covered either. In my opinion this company just takes your money.

1st claim to this company, they do not cover ice makers... not my first issue, they had triple charged me when I first signed on. It took over a month to have the triplicate charges removed from my bank account... do not sign up for this company. I certainly learned a very expensive lesson, ask questions on what is covered.

Stay away from Choice Home Warranty!!! I'm a Real Estate broker that got a Choice Home Warranty for my own home. What a mistake. I put a claim in on my washing machine. A tech came out to check out the washer 3 days later. He told me before he could fix the washer he needed Choice Home Warranty approval to get parts to make the repair and that he would be back the next day. The repair tech never returned so I called him up. He told me Choice home Warranty denied the claim to repair. I called Choice Home Warranty and got the runaround. Finally I got someone that would talk to me. I was told since the washer was only 2 year old we must have overloaded the washer and that it was not normal wear and tear and therefore not under warranty.
We never overloaded the washer. It's just my wife and myself. We don't have big loads. So I called the tech and asked him why he thought we were overloading the washer. He told me that he put in his report that it was normal wear and tear and Choice Home Warranty made the decision that we were overloading the washer and that void out the warranty. So I called Choice Home Warranty back and got a supervisor. After some choice word with the supervisor he offer to pay 50% of the repair. I told him that would not do. Parts were about $225 plus labor. (Just going to get a new machine.)
Well my contract with Choice Home Warranty expires in about 6 weeks and their sales office has been calling me about renewing the warranty. Sorry I don't think that's going to happen nor will I ever refer them to any of my clients and I will pass this info on to all my agents and other realtors. A lost to Choice Home Warranty a lot more than $225. To all that have been rip off by Choice Home Warranty please reach out to your realtor and let them know about your experience so that they will not refer any more of their client to Choice Homes Warranty. Realtors reach out to Choice Home Warranty and let them know that we will not stand for our clients being ripped off.

Discovered leak from water heater 12/23/17 e-mailed my problem to Choice Home Warranty. They told me I would hear from a plumber shortly. Plumber called and after looking told me I needed new water heater. Old one was 11 years old. Plumber called Choice and was told it was not covered. I have Choice Total Plan so I called and was told it was not covered. Plan does not cover tank leakage. (That’s the main reason for Warranty Co.)

In late October of 2017, Choice Home Warranty denied a claim on a 13 year old AC compressor because failure was deemed "not normal wear and tear" as per their disclaimer. Have had their Warranty product since March and at the time of this writing I still have it. The fact is, an electrically-shorted, hermetically sealed Trane Compressor cannot be diagnosed for failure type unless it is cut open and examined for root cause of the electrical failure. Technicians from two different HVAC companies have verified and agree with the aforementioned statement. Choice cannot and will not provide, in writing, the type of compressor failures which are considered "normal" wear and tear because this will obviate their ability to dismiss ALL claims due to the "normal" wear and tear clause.
I purchased their product because, according to their marketing/advertising materials, it is supposed to provide "peace of mind". It has done anything but. I now have to cut open the compressor and determine root cause of the failure and document such, get signed statements from the two technicians, file complaints with the BBB and the NC Attorney General's Consumer Affairs/Fraud Division and submit my "evidence" to Choice for their determination yet again. In the meantime, I have spent $1350 to replace the compressor and get the system running again. I would give them ZERO stars but the rating system doesn't allow for it.

On October 30th, 2017, I called Choice Home Warranty because my heater was not working. I was scheduled for an appointment for Tuesday October 31st, 2017. My claim number is #**. The heater contractor Cedric ** came to my home on Tuesday October 31st at 5:00 p.m. and looked at my boiler and said that there was nothing wrong with my boiler area but I needed an electrician. I scheduled an appointment on Wednesday morning November 1st for an electrician to come out to my home, my claim number is #**. I called the electrician J. Morgan Contractors and he said he could come out on Wednesday at 1:30 but came at 5:00. When he got there he worked on my boiler for approximately 2 hours, he went to the store and bought 2 transformers and came back and started fixing on it again.
After he got frustrated because the transformers he purchased burned out, he said he had to call the company because what he needed to do was not in his contract and that they were not paying him enough money for what he had to do. He left my house with all the wires hanging and open and the boiler apart never stating that he will be back to complete the job. I called Choice Home Warranty and talked to Latasha and she stated for me to call a manager the next day. I talked to a manager on Thursday, 11/2/2017, Charmine she said that the electrician J. Morgan Contractors will be out to put my boiler back together on Friday. I waited all that day Friday for J. Morgan Contractors to call me back and he never called so I called the company back at 4:00, and talked to another Manager Gregg. Gregg got J. Morgan Contractors on the phone he stated that he will return to my house at 5:00 p.m.
When he returned to my house I thought he put all my wires back together but he didn't. I called another boiler company (Polar), spoke with Jerry and he scheduled for Saturday from 12:00 to 3:00. A contractor came out and looked at my boiler and stated that the people who worked on your boiler did not put all the wires back together and they did not want to touch my boiler or be responsible for what Choice Home Warranty started. They suggested that we call the people who installed the boiler to complete the job.
We had to call E.S.I Heating & Cooling on 11/11/17, at this point we were without heat for 3 weeks. E.S.I. Heating & Cooling fix the boiler and left the receipt for $200.00 about all they had to do to get my heat on. I am so disappointed with Choice Home Warranty because I never used this and I had them for two years. Choice Home Warranty really let me and my family down. I am asking for a refund of $200.00 to be returned to me because another company had to complete the job for Choice Home Warranty. Thanks.

Eli complemented the others while establishing Choice as the best while giving top notch service and backed up his conversation with places to go on the web for justification and written documentation.

However, getting to a point of decision I encountered many aggressive sales pitches responding to my online inquiry and when I made the decision to join, the same aggression with the sales pitching... I am not customary with such pointed sales with this type of service and it is a turn off. My expectation is more of a warm and inviting interaction to ensure I select what I need according to my budget, not to be pitched 5 times in one conversation. I almost hung up, but instead I advised the rep to slow down, he was taking me too fast... I felt like I was buying a used car and begin to question the product and was I really getting a good deal.

We used this warranty for the first time on 1/12/2018. We purchased the warranty in June 2017.

This company is horrible! I never make complaints but I felt that it was necessary if this will help someone. I'm still waiting for someone to come fix an issue in my home that is supposed to be covered through my warranty. One company quit because they said they no longer want to work with Choice because they're very messy. I had to agree, messy is bit of an understatement. Companies in my area do not want to work with them so I'm assuming this may be why it's taking so long to get the problem fixed.
When asked what was taking so long to get someone out they said no contractor was available because of heavy workload. That could be true but meanwhile I'm still stuck with this electrical problem, not to mention they had me on hold for almost a hour... Frustrating. Again still waiting for my claim to be accepted by a contractor. I went with them because they had good reviews and good prices but I was fooled and made a major mistake by choosing this company. Would not recommend to anyone.

My furnace went out one week after I moved into my home. Over one month later, my children and I are still without heat. Choice Home Warranty sent two techs out that did not even service the type of furnace that I have. One tried to do something to it and left. Finally someone capable came to fix it, but two days later, the furnace quit again. There was a part leaking oil, so the tech stated that due to the leak and the age of the furnace, he recommended replacement... First, Choice Warranty tried to claim that the leak was at the storage tank so it was not covered. I told them that didn't even make sense, because my storage tank is outside, and the leak is under my house - at the furnace.
Then, they claimed it was the lines coming from the storage tank, and since storage tanks aren't covered, it still isn't covered. The name of the person who supposedly told them that didn't even match anyone working at the HVAC company. The tech called back again and told them that they needed to stop jerking us around and again explained that the leak is at the furnace. Now they are denying the claim because there is hazardous material involved which excludes it from coverage. Any oil or gas furnace involves hazardous materials, so they could use that excuse to get out of paying for most furnaces.

However for four (4) days previous I made several attempts, at different times, to speak with a live person to submit a claim. I tried going online as well, but all I could accomplish there was to get a sales person who only wanted to sell me a contract, which of course, I already had/have. He was helpful in as much as he transferred me over to the claims extension but then I had a long wait again. I was not able to submit a claim online??? The system kept taking me the sales portal. I need the service my contract provides when I have an issue with a covered item/system. However long wait times are quite inconvenient and most especially a waste of minutes if on a cell phone. Today's customer service was good, your wait times need improvement.

Had been with Choice for about a month and a half. My fridge stopped cooling. Called them up, a technician came to check it out. He said the problem was an electrical board, so he was going to order it. A couple of days later, he showed up. They had sent him the wrong board. A couple of more days Choice called me. The technician had said the compressor had a leak and they did not cover that or the replacing of Freon. This was a total lie since the technician had said he could not check the compressor because he needed the electrical board to turn on the fridge. So, I got angry and demanded my money back which was $608.00 plus the $45.00 I paid the technician because he never the fridge.
Their reply all I was getting was one hundred and fifty some dollars. When I asked why? They were charging me for the electrical board and so on. In the first place I did not received the electrical board the technician's company did and I don't have the electrical board the technician's company does. Yes they are cheap but read their policies real good. They cover a lot of appliances but the main things that make the appliance work are not covered. I'm going to contact the main office headquarters to see if I can get my money back which I doubt. These companies are real sneaky.

The only thing I can say good about Choice Warranty is that the salesperson who convinced me to drop AHS and switch to Choice was brilliant. She sold me so well that my sister in DC switched also. She has better sense than I do, she has switched back to AHS. Each claim we have submitted has been a struggle. Even emergency are not responded to timely. I had a toilet overflowing and was asked to wait 2 days for a repair person. I ended up hiring a company to come out that day to perform the repairs. I have an electrical issue in my daughter's room. We were told that Choice would pay for the part that was inside the ceiling but they would not pay for the work it took to get to that part nor would they pay for the replacing the parts damaged to get to the covered part.
In September, I submitted a claim regarding my ceiling fan. No one called me to say anything. When I checked the status it said to call for more details. I was told that Choice would not cover a light bulb. I told your representative that if it was the light bulb, I certainly would not need to pay a surcharge for a $5 bulb. When I have a problem with the faucet in the kitchen, I ended up paying the guy $260 to replace it. He said that Choice didn't cover the cost of the new faucet. This policy is really a joke. It really doesn't matter that your company charges less than AHS if every claim I submit is denied.

My dryer stopped working on 12/30, so I placed a claim with CHW. They assigned the claim to a company that was supposed to arrive between 3:00 and 8:00 pm. They arrived at 8:15 pm. The technician did no troubleshooting, but said I needed a new connection for the dryer to the gas line. He proceeded to ask me if I wanted to go with him to Walmart to get the parts. Then wanted to know where my husband was (I live alone). After not fixing the original problem, he left saying the dryer was working fine. A day later, it stopped again because it had never been fixed.
I called CHW, told them it wasn't fixed and that I didn't want the original person to come out because he was inappropriate. They reassigned the claim to a ghost company (no presence online, not even Google) who no-called, no-showed times. I had to take off work and had received email confirmation for all 3 appointments. So CHW reassigned my claim yet again. It has been almost 2 weeks since I've had a working dryer, and I still don't have a solution. This has been a waste of my time, energy, and money.

I was on hold on the telephone for over an half hour. No one never answered the call. The uncaring male at the call center hung up on me 3 times. He was very rude, unprofessional and disrespectful. My refrigerator is not working and my food is spoiling.

The wait times to call are really long. Nearly 30 minutes. Then the technician calls in, does the work and leaves. When I follow up with Choice to get drywall fix set up, I’m told the plumber never called in with the work info. So I have to wait.

I honestly have no idea how this company is still in business. Terrible customer service and completely incompetent. Going on day 8 with no heat and they have yet to get a tech to my house. It's the coldest winter we've had in 50 years and I have two small children and no heat. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!

I waited a fairly long time to get a person, until Beatrice answered my call and went through everything and I felt she did an excellent job and I could hear in her voice how proud and happy she was working for CHW. I will wait until the Soft Water System is fixed or replaced. So far it looks good.

I am still waiting for a phone call from a repairman. I called in a claim on Wednesday afternoon. it has been over 24 hours since I talked to a rep from your company. This is unacceptable. I have called your company and have been waiting for someone to answer my call.

Quick and efficient is how I can explain Choice Warranty. I never wait longer than 24 hrs to have a technician dispatched to my home. I have been truly satisfied with customer service and the technicians for all claims that I have had recently.

I had my ceiling fan not working. The call was assigned promptly but the vendor was horrible (Smelling like a drunk and cigarette). The fan is broken again, I cannot reclaim since it is more than one month the fan was repaired. It is the 3rd call on same issue.

The person I spoke to was polite and very helpful. I would recommend Choice warranty to my family and friends. It was the first time for me to use Choice Warranty. The appointment was made quick. All email was sent out fast also.

The representative was very attentive and helpful with my questions and concerns. Seemed very straightforward and offered discounts not mentioned on the website. Very accommodating to my concerns and preferences. I would highly recommend Choice Home Warranty based on my initial conversation(s) with them.

I've had them for two years and have NEVER been able to have my broken appliances serviced without disputing their initial declined service judgment. Each occurrence has been an absolute nightmare. The companies they send are often rated very low on review sites. The gentlemen who came out today was unable to connect with Choice Home Warranty for an approval on a clogged drain line repair. After 75 minutes he left, but still had to charge me the visit fee. I've been unable to reach anyone his email or phone. Total wait time has been almost 90 minutes. I took a day off work and my refrigerator is still not working. This company is an absolute joke!

Some Electrical outlets and street light didn’t work. Two electricians arrived early during the assigned time slot. They were friendly, efficient and informative checking out all in question. These two electricians are a real asset to their company OneStop 24/7. Thank you, CHOICE for selecting a top-notch company to handle my claim.

On 10/25/17 I put in my claim for a plumbing problem. There was a crack in the pipe from an upstairs toilet leaking onto the ceiling of the bedroom below. On 11/29/17 the repair was done that required a hole cut in the ceiling to access the pipe. The flange, one of the critical pieces of any such repair, was not covered by the warranty and led to lengthy delays. Eventually, thanks to the local agent, I was reimbursed for the specific part. Unfortunately the hole in the ceiling was apparently not covered by the warranty.
Thanks again to the appeals from the local agent, I am supposed to be reimbursed. If it were not for the local agent's efforts, I would rate the fewest stars possible and highly recommend this warranty be avoided much like my previous experience with American Home Shield decades ago. While in theory a home warranty seems to be a good idea, my experience with them has been nothing but frustration, work done on the cheap, and dissatisfaction with final results. Unless there is notable improvement in response with my more recent appliance claim, there is no way I would ever recommend a home warranty to anyone.

My refrigerator stopped working two days before Christmas 2017. CHW was able to locate a technician during the holiday and he was able to troubleshoot the problem on the 27th. CHW ordered the parts and he had it repaired and running on the 3rd of January. The holidays impacted the delivery of parts or it probably would have been repaired in just a matter of 4-5 days if not sooner.

Why does Choice warranty only send out one company. Whenever I file a claim it is always the same company... Daugherty appliance... from AC unit to Garage door issues. I’m not too confident in this warranty company. I would like a company that specializes in the particular items for which I’m calling for instead of one company that have their hands in everything.

Not too pleased with this home shield. It's no better than the one I had for 18 years. It's just cheaper. I was told that your company helps the customer. Not true. I even paid for the year. You don't have answering service 24/7. I have to wait and call at 8 am.
