IF YOU EVER NEED HOME INSURANCE FOR YOUR APPLIANCES ETC. BE SURE TO AVOID CHOICE HOME WARRANTY. They do not pay their vendors and a part that the vendor may have will not be used and you will need to wait on Choice to supply the part and that just had taken me 3 weeks to get two parts. The same vendors have also informed me that now with summer coming they are not honoring air conditioning breakdowns.

Water heater broke on Monday 5pm. Water drain spot broke while being drained. Heater is from 1994 so the drain was just rusty and broke off. They couldn't get someone out till Wednesday (paid $45). They didn't do anything. They just assessed the situation. Choice then denied my claim to replace the unit. They don't cover rust they said. Even though it was just normal wear and tear rust. Even though I maintained the boiler every year. After a few threats they offered me $300. Which doesn't even cover half of what I spent to replace and hire someone to install new heater. They are scammers and the BBB show all their complaints.

I purchased their total protection package back in November 2015. Four months later put in a claim for our heat pump. They sent out a tech 3 days later, he determined that an electrical spike blow out the compressor and the unit leaked out the freon. We needed a new unit. "Choice Home Warranty" refused to replace our unit as their advertising claim they would. I spoke with supervisors and they said they would not replace due to "neglect". Their own tech stated that it was an electrical spike but they refused to honor their warranty. After several days of haggling they issued a partial refund. Terrible experience. I guess if the repairs are small they will fix but they will not replace appliances as they advertise. Beware they also strong arm you into buying several years of service mowing, they do not deliver on their promise.

The service company was great in responding. They did a good job checking the unit. Their response was that they think there was a leak. The repairman called to his company to have them allow him to add freon to the system, which they approved. The repairman then told us that he thinks the filter valve outside maybe leaking? Did check it with leak tester, then said it wasn't covered because it's not mechanical? This is part of the system and it's mechanical. I checked with another ac tech who has 30 years in the business. I have your company in 6 of my houses in FL. I would like the ac company to return and check the unit with a leak tester and find where the leak is so the whole unit don't go down and I'm calling you back. If he thought the valve outside was bad, check it and replace it with a new one. Thank you. I look forward to getting this problem solved.

A little more than a year ago I switched to Choice Home Warranty to cover warranty for my home in Plano, TX. As per their offer, I paid for 5 years warranty in advance. Until last week I used them only once for a very small issue. This week I reported lack of cooling and they sent someone to check. There was no Freon in the air conditioning (AC) unit, so they asked me to do Leak check at my cost, as they did not cover this. I got it done from their technician and paid for it. The findings were that evaporation coil is leaking and needs to be replaced. Now they are telling me they won't cover this.
When I purchased the warranty, I was told that all air condition issues were fully covered. They are making all kinds of excuses like show them AC maintenance records, etc. These things were never told to me when I paid for 5-year warranty with coverage for "Total Plan" which is more expensive than their "Basic plan". I've spent a lot of time with them over phone and in person with the technician they sent and they are not willing to cover the replacement cost of the evaporation coil.

When my furnace broke down, I left a message for my HVAC contractor. Then, remembering the Choice Warranty promising repair for $60 instead of $400-500, I canceled the request and called Choice. The authorized service provider collected the $60 but performed no repairs, leaving me without heat in the dead of winter. Four days later he returned, fixed the furnace and demanded $1256 on the spot (I later confirmed the legitimate charge from professional HVAC would have been $450 or less). After 2 months of back and forth with no resolution, I have spent another $250 to initiate mediation through the American Arbitration Association. Verify Choice case **. For sake of your family's budget protection and peace of mind, choose wisely, not Choice.

On March 24th, I called to order repair service on my dishwasher that would not drain. A tech came out the next day, took the model number of the unit, and said he'd order it today. It should arrive by 2 on Monday, and they'd install it Tuesday. Monday afternoon I called to see what time they would be coming Tuesday, and only got voicemail. Tuesday, after no response, I called again, only to get voicemail. No returned calls, or service calls Tuesday. I call again Wednesday, only to get voice mail again. I then called Choice H.W. to find out what going on. They called the repair company and said the company didn't want to do the job, and I was assigned another company.
At the end of the day, the newly assigned tech comes to the door at the same time the first company (American Door & Appliance) called and said there was a misunderstanding, they had the part and would install it Thursday. I said o.k. I called Choice and told them to cancel the newly assigned company (First Class HVAC & Appliance) because American Door and Appliance had the part and were coming the next day to repair. Thursday, no show, no call! Late Thursday I call and they said they would not be able to get at it today, what time tomorrow is good? I said 10:00, they said "great, see you then." Well, Friday NO show, NO call again. That's 3 days of no show, no call!
At the end of day Friday, I called Choice to get First Class HVAC and Appliance back on track to order the part and install. They claim to have ordered it Monday the 4th from North Carolina. I called them later in the week, and they said when they get the part, they'll call me. After 10 days of waiting for a part from North Carolina (I live in Columbia SC, where an appliance parts company had 7 in stock), I asked Choice to allow me to hire someone here that would get the part locally and get the job done (after 3 weeks). They agreed, I called Advance Appliance Repair in Columbia, and 3 hours later they were here fixing it (for less than Choice was going to pay the First Class "Losers" HVAC & Appliance company).
What Choice failed to tell me was that I would have to wait 30 days for the money I came out of pocket for, because their incompetent subcontractors failed to perform. I called and asked if there was any way they could expedite the costs I incurred, because if I afford to pay for repairs out of pocket, I wouldn't be buying a home warranty. They said NO!
Choice Home Warranty's arrogant, incompetent, inconsiderate subcontractors made my life miserable for 3 weeks, and their unwillingness to reimburse my expenses in a timely manner have convinced me they don't care about their clients, only the monthly or annual payments they receive from them. As a realtor who has sold their warranties to clients, I apologize to those clients, and suggest you shop for another company, as I certainly will.

Having been denied on two claims and had bad experiences with the service technician both times I felt compelled to write a review to save others the headache and expense I endured. In each instance I had a major mechanical component that I believed to be covered that failed. Each time I submitted a claim online and was quickly contacted by a contractor to make an appointment. Both times the contractor failed to show up at the scheduled time and I had to call to re-schedule. In one instance the contractor declined the work because it was too far for them to drive. In the other instance the contractor simply didn't know how to work on the equipment.
I had my own contractor assess the issue on both and when they called in for the reimbursement they were told that the claim was not covered by the policy. The exclusions are very broad in the policy so there is very little that won't be denied. Probably better to invest the cost of the warranty and save the aggravation of getting your claim denied.

Was told my claim was denied for the simple reason the policy didn't cover the glass cook top of the appliance. I asked if Choice could purchase to class (utilizing its buying power) and I would pay for the part. I was told they couldn't do that, but they would be willing to provide $180 toward a new appliance if I were willing to purchase a new one. Truly wasn't expecting that, but that's exactly what I did accepting the offer. I ended up paying a total of $153 more buying a new one versus replacing the glass cook top only and receiving a 1 year warranty with the purchase. Totally worthwhile in my opinion!

I submitted a claim with Choice on March 21st 2016 for my upstairs A/C unit. The unit was not cooling. The technician arrived on the 24th to look at my A/C. He was very courteous and thorough when diagnosing my A/C unit. He determined that the unit was low on freon and that he would need to do a leak check to determine the location of the leak. He explained that this was NOT covered by the home warranty company and would cost an additional $225 on top of the $45 service fee.
The technician completed the leak detection and found that the evaporator coil did in fact have a leak and would need to be replaced. The technician explained the various reasons for the a leak to occur but stated explicitly that the reason for this leak was "normal wear and tear" on the system. He explained the coils in both the condenser unit and in the evaporator coil were clean, filters had been maintained correctly. He took pictures of the coil and leak location to send to the warranty company. He then asked that I stay with him while he called in the claim to Choice. When I asked why I needed to he stated that he wanted me there to hear what he communicated to the warranty company as the reason for the failure because there was a good chance they would claim that the system was improperly maintained, which was NOT the case.
He called Choice on the claim and provided the findings and stated twice that the reason for the failure was "NORMAL Wear and Tear". He then uploaded three pictures to Choice's technicians showing the unit and the state of the coil. I paid the technician $270 for the call, $225 for leak detection and $45 for the service call rate agreed to with Choice. I received a call at noon on the 24th from Choice home warranty claim representative. They stated that the claim was NOT covered because the fault was due to improper maintenance. I asked how this was determined and explained what the technician had communicated to the representative when he called in his diagnosis. I was told that the pictures were reviewed by one of Choice's technicians and that they could see that the coils were clogged.
I was shocked because this was the exact opposite of what the technician had told me and what he had communicated when he called in the claim. I even had the images that were submitted and could not see any indication of clogging. When pressed further I was told that this was the decision and that it was final. There was no route to appeal. I called the contractor that Choice sent out and they did not agree with the diagnosis. There was no indication of improper maintenance. They submitted two additional photos that were direct close-up shots of the coils that clearly showed a coil that was clean. I followed up on these additional photos and was told that it did not matter, the decision was made.
This is the craziest and most frustrating experience because the technician and owner of the company that Choice sent could not understand how they came to this decision. It made no sense and the documentation provided does not support their decision. When asked to speak with the person or team that reviewed the claim and made the determination I was told that they were not allowed to speak to customers to explain the reasoning and how the determination was made. When I asked to speak to a supervisor I was transferred and was told exactly the same thing. There is no escalation process or willingness to address the customer's concerns.

I bought the Home Warranty plan to cover everything. I was buying a new home and wanted security and to make sure what I couldn't see could be repaired. What they provide after you enroll/pay is a list of exclusions and things not covered by the plan. I had a hot water heater go out in the attic, submitted a claim, paid the service charge and the technician tells me there is water scale build-up, the company said it's not covered. I looked at the exclusion list for AC repairs and guess what's not covered, the Freon to keep it going, electrical parts, etc. I paid for the service for 1 year in advance. I should have just kept the money and bought a new hot water heater. Also wish this site had a 0.5 rating to choose from.

Before purchasing a home warranty, I did extensive online reviews and was quite impressed with the reviews I read for Choice Home Warranty. I purchased in July 2015 and only recently made a claim for a ceiling fan which had quit working. The service technician was prompt, and courteous. Told me I needed a new fan, took my service fee. Two days later he returned one day earlier than he had told me, and at 7:30pm without calling first. Stayed till 9 pm and said he would have to take fan home to assemble and would be back. This was the first week of February. He has not returned to this day. (March 31).
Calls to Choice said they were unable to get him to respond to them and would send a refund check for the technician service and what they had reimbursed him for a new ceiling fan. Have not gotten a refund check. Several weeks later, my pool pump quit working and they responded and said they had assigned the claim to On Call Appliances, the very same company who never completed the first claim. Do not waste your time or money on this company unless you want aggravation and incompetence.

They were extremely apologetic and called in another workman, Alabama Fresh Air company. They called, came out, and checked on both door openers within 1 day! Both doors had to be replaced and were within the week.
