When calling about the item (garbage disposal), the person was very helpful. She gave me a contact # of the company in case I didn't receive a call from them in an hour. This was on a Saturday after 6pm, the weekend. Buckner Plumbing Dallas did not call within the time allowed. I called them and was told it would be Monday afternoon. Since it was the garbage disposal and we could use the other side of the sink, I agreed to wait until Monday afternoon.
At 2:00pm Buckner Pluming knocked on the door and Thomas seen the problem right away. He said that it would need to be replaced, he called Choice Home Warranty and made arrangements for the replacement, he returned the next day for the installment at 8:00am and was completed at 8:30am. Now here comes the bill... Nothing but my Service Call Fee!!! When you are told something from CHOICE HOME WARRANTY, believe it. Fast and reliable, dependable service. Thank You CHOICE HOME WARRANTY.

Oven, Dishwasher, and air conditioner Repaired by Choice - Choice has sent technicians to my house promptly every time I have called. All of the technicians have been knowledgeable, and did the repairs promptly and efficiently. If they needed parts they did not have they ordered these and received the parts within a few days.

Our air conditioner stopped cooling and I placed a repair order with CHW online. This was a very simple process and I was given an order number and a service company in the local area to contact. I did this but the repair company was not responsive and did not come out when scheduled. I contacted CHW and the customer service rep also tried to contact the repair company with no luck. She assigned a new service company to our work order right away and they were out the next day and fixed the problem. That service company kept in contact with me and they were very polite and professional. The repair work was done quickly and the air conditioner is back in service. I have only had the service contract with CHW for a little over 2 months and so far I am very happy with their customer service. Thanks CHW!

I have a home, asked them to come out. The serviceman who came out sent them (2) photos on the existing unit, it has a variable drive blower. They declined to be responsible for any repairs to improper service of the units. How did they determine that, from looking at the (2) photos. The serviceman never said anything about improper service, just that the unit was 6 years old the blower was going bad. My cost to repair $697.00 because a "Tech" sitting behind a desk looked at (2) pictures and automatically determined the unit had improper maintenance.
I am a project manager for a commercial general contractor, been doing this 35 years, I find this "stupid " at best. The tech said the day before he experienced the same thing at a different house. I argues I had cleaned the coils. They then demanded to know what chemical I used. They argued that since I am not a licensed HVAC contractor, my opinion did not mater. They did say I could call an independent 3rd party ac sub out to look at the units, and then he could talk to them, but they would not comment if his opinion would actually do any good. I asked about canceling my policy, they said no refund, my money would be theirs (I bought a 3 year policy). So unless you hire a 3rd party to come out and keep immaculate service records, you are flat out of luck.

My wife and I are currently researching home warranties for a house we are buying. Choice appeared to be the most highly rated but now I think they post those reviews themselves. They failed at the very first phone call. A rep called after I filled out info online. I explained that we see as many bad reviews as good ones so we want to be very thorough. He said "absolutely...a lot of people think the plan should even cover cat scratches."
I explained that I realize it's a service contract and not insurance but a lot of the reviews show that the contractors are unprofessional, don't show up, etc, and that I would like to know who their a/c contractors are before I sign up that way I can also research THEM. I guess the rep didn't want to provide that info because I heard silence, then was transferred to somebody's voicemail! I hung up, then whomever that guy was called me back. I just told him that the bad reviews were just confirmed and that we'll try another company.

Air conditioner not cooling. Placed claim after 3 pm and missed call from Service/repairman; however, he called me at 10 am the following morning and set an appointment for immediately after lunch. Arrived at 1:30 pm and completed repairs within 30 minutes. I have placed seven various claims in the last 11 months. Each one has been handled as quickly and as well as this one. Also, my savings during this year on monthly premiums and co-pays is over $300.00. This really helps when you are retired on a very fixed income. We do not have a man around the house and neither my Daughter nor I are handy with repairs, so a home warranty is essential. Very satisfied with Choice Home Warranty; glad I switched to them.

Freon was leaking from my evaporating coil. It was cause by rust and corrosion. That's the nature of an air conditioning system according to the service contractor where there's any water evaporating. It happens to all air conditioning systems. Choice warranty will not fix it because it's in their small print. They are very deceiving. Do not use them. Purchased in April for $400.00, refunded in September $83.00. Wow, what a rip off.

We changed our warranty company after much research. Now after paying for a warranty we are unable to have the needed repairs done. The compressor on the air conditioner went out, it took 3 services calls before it was properly diagnosed. The service guy called Choice to notify them the air conditioner was no longer functioning. My husband was told he would receive a call about the claim shortly. He did, they denied the claim stating the compressor went out due to not having the air conditioner serviced regularly which is completely untrue. We have had the air conditioner serviced each year. You can't clean a compressor so any build up is beyond our control.
The repairman had already warned my husband that warranty companies are scammers and do all they can to not replace anything. So now we sit in 100-degree weather w/o air and out of the fees for 3 different service calls. NO OFFER TO REPLACE THE COMPRESSOR OR THE UNIT. We are contacting our attorney for fraudulent practices. We paid for services we did not receive.

My first experience with Choice Home Warranty was disappointing and I wanted to alert everyone to the fine print. Basically they are not responsible for conditions existing (known or unknown) at the time of your policy. Therefore if you have an older home like mine and older appliances that go bad over time during the initial period of your insurance, they will tell you that the conditions that lead to the failure had to be in existence at the time the insurance started. I don't disagree with them--everything wears down over time but if it actually fails after the insurance is in place, it should be covered. Please make sure you consider this when purchasing the insurance as most likely larger items will not be covered over the initial period.

It was a Friday and my husband came home and found the AC was not cooling at all. The compressor was not working. The unit was not running. My husband called Choice Home and they gave him a tech who called but could not come out for about 5 days because it was Memorial Day weekend. We could not go without AC because it was about 100% outside and even hotter inside. So we advised Choice Home we had had a company who would come out the next morning and fix the AC. So we contacted the company and they came out at 8 am the next morning and fixed the unit, it was the start capacitor. We let Choice Home know on the following Tuesday as Monday was a Holiday. They were in turn advised of the charge and I sent them the bill, I was advised of the approval of the cost and it would take 30 days to be reimbursed. I am okay with this.

My father bought two policies. One for his home and one for mine. After he passed away, my mother sold her house. I am her POA so when we closed on the house, I immediately called CHW and explained the situation. I was told they could transfer the remaining time on their policy to mine. So they emailed me the Transfer Form and instructed me to fill it out and fax it to them. I did. They claimed they never received it. So on September 3, 2015 they emailed me another Transfer Form and told me fill it out and I could scan it into an email and send it to them. I did.
Then today I received an email stating that my policy was expiring long before I was told it would. So I called again and was told that they still had not received either Transfer Form and that they do not transfer from one policy to another and would not refund for the remaining time. This is absolutely the worse customer service I have witnessed. Not only do none of the employees know company policy, there was also no attempt whatsoever to try to work with their existing customers. Shoddy business. I will never recommend this company to anyone.

Earlier this year, I terminated my home warranty with Old Republic, as they provided really lousy service. I searched online and found Choice Home Warranty, which had very good ratings from customers. I purchased the home warranty insurance, as my home is close to 20 years old and some of the appliances are getting very old, so I wanted to have protection in case they failed.
In July 2015, my washing machine failed and I submitted a claim with Choice Home. It took them about 8 weeks and over 6 home visits to finally get a contractor to repair my washing machine (it took the contractor 5 minutes to replace the bad motherboard). To get them to do this simple work order, I had to call Choice Home about 40 times. In Jul 2015, my central AC stopped working. I called Choice Home and it took them about a week to get a contractor to my house. The contractor found that the cable going to the compressor was melted (to me it was obvious that the damage was caused by a power surge).
I filed a claim to get the AC replaced and it was denied because Choice Home claimed that the damage resulted from improper service and maintenance of the unit (according to them, I failed to service the unit in accordance with manufacturer's recommendation). Lucky for me, I had the unit serviced 3 times during the previous year. I sent Choice Home an email with documentation to show that the unit was properly serviced. They did not answer my emails and refused to honor my claim. According to them, I had to provide a detailed list of everything that was done during the service. I provided a document to show that the unit had been serviced by a certified AC company and they still refused to pay for the repair. This last week, I cancelled my contract with Choice Home and they kept over 60% of my original fee (when I had the insurance for less than 3 months). This company is the worse. Please do not buy their services...

Choice appointed an A/C contractor quickly over a weekend at the first mention of my claim. It was 104 outside and our A/C went out on a Saturday evening. The A/C guy came out and determined it was not an A/C issue but an electrical issue. After contacting Choice they immediately re-issued a claim based on the electrical problem. When I called to schedule the electrician he said he would be 2 to 3 days out at minimum. With no air and the daytime temps reaching 104, 105 I didn't want to wait 2 or 3 more days so I called Choice and they re-appointed another electrician who came out the next day and determined the problem and promptly fixed it.
Yes I was without A/C from Saturday night until Tuesday afternoon but my total cost was $45 out-of-pocket and our A/C is working like a champ now. It's very comforting to know that they will help accommodate a busy contractor to take care of a customer more quickly. Very happy to have Choice Home Warranty as our home warranty company.

I know I am responsible for what I write. Since May I have been trying to get my reimbursement of $55 which was incorrectly charged for a service call that was not corrected the first time. I had to find my own contractor after waiting three days for Choice Home to find one. This was a septic problem. I am glad it was not an emergency. My contractor did not charge me a service call fee the second time but only charged for parts. I received reimbursement for the first call and was charged a service call fee for the second call even though it was a repeat call since the problem was not fixed the first time. Choice Home charged me $55 for a service call.
I called and was told by customer service that I would be reimbursed this within thirty days. Never happened. In fact this charge was incorrect since my contract clearly states $45 for the service call fee. I have made several calls trying to get a check, each time I am told it will be taken care of. Last call was Thursday 09/16/15. They told me to wait 24 hours. They must be kidding if they think I am going to waste my time calling again. I will give it a few more days and they contact the Better Business Bureau. I paid $2000 for this contract, I expect better service, not lip service.

I am a bit concerned over the coverage. I have the pool option but the first time I needed coverage I had to fight a bit to get what I needed paid for which you did. Now on this new pool claim I'm being informed that only a small portion of the cost is covered. My last home warranty company covered everything. I have given you 3 properties. Two on a 5-year contract and one on a 3-year contract, all prepaid in full. I believe I am due some consideration based on my contracts.

Our Kenmore dryer stopped working on 9-15-2015. I called in a claim that same day and contacted the authorized repair contractor the following morning. Service call was scheduled for 9-17-15 hours of 12:00pm and 3:00pm. The technician called at 11:30am on 9-17. Said he would arrive by 12:00 noon and was on time. He diagnosed the problem within minutes, repaired the dryer in a very short period of time, cleaned up and left after I paid the $45 service call fee. The contractor is HK Appliance Repair. I did contact Sears for an estimated price for the repair and was quoted an approximate price of $200. Choice Home Warranty was prompt and professional and the repair service was excellent. This was our first experience since joining Choice 90 days ago and we are very pleased with the entire process. Thank You!

I bought a protection plan from CHW, paid $375. After three month from buying policy, it was my first claim with them. I have water leakage. I called them for coverage. They sent the plumber from BERGEN DRAIN, an authorized CHW service technician. He said we are approved so he started his work. Then all of sudden, CHW called the plumber and said they are not covered. By that time plumber had already drilled all the basement ceiling and take the pipe out and cause the biggest leakage.
After being informed that we were not covered, he immediately left, leaving the huge mess, broken ceiling and pipe leaking through the ceiling. Our brand new carpet was drenched. I called CHW and tell the whole situation. They said "we are not paying a single penny on this issue, not even what plumber did". I cancelled my plan right away and get half of my money back. On the top, plumber got 45 dollar deductible by doing nothing and by making our problem worse. Afterwards plumber called me and offered me doing the same job under the table cash, so he could pocket the money. CHW is completely BOGUS company. Please, please do not waste your money. Thanks.

I entered into a home warranty coverage plan with Choice Home Warranty on 08/19/2015. At the time that I entered into the coverage plan, I was told by Adam ** that the plan would go into effect in 15 days due to having an existing plan. At that time my current plan with American Residential Warranty was in effect. I was not told that I needed to cancel the policy immediately. In fact I was told to leave it in place until the new contract went into effect with Choice Home Warranty.
I called on 09/17 to submit a claim on an A/C unit that failed and was told that my contract was not in effect until 09/19/2015. I explained the above and was told that I would need to provide proof of coverage under the American Residential Warranty plan at the time that I signed up for the Choice Home Warranty plan. I had purposely not paid the American Residential Warranty plan for August due to the new Choice Home Warranty plan. American Residential Warranty would not send me a copy of my contract until I made August which I did in order to obtain proof of coverage at the time I signed up for Choice Home Warranty.
When I sent the proof of coverage in I was then denied coverage with Choice Home Warranty due to not terminating my contract with American Residential Warranty at the time of the A/C failure. This is a complete double standard. They required me have existing coverage then denied due not having cancelled my coverage prior to the failure of our A/C. When I called back a fourth time that supervisor told me that all I needed was proof that the contract was in place at the time that I signed with Choice Home Warranty. Then I was told that I needed to show a bank statement showing payment for August. When I stated that I could do that I was told it wouldn't matter due to the failure being previous condition. Even though the equipment failed on 09/16 and the policy should have gone into effect on 09/14. This company is nothing but a bunch of crooks practicing the bait and switch routine at every opportunity.

The air conditioner broke down around midnight on a Friday. I submitted the claim on Saturday. Got an almost immediate response back on who to contact for repair. I called the technician but they don't work on weekends so left a message on the voicemail. They called back mid-day on Monday and scheduled an appointment for 8 pm that night. Luckily we have two air conditioners in our home so we were able to have cooling. The technician needed to get approval prior to replacing the fan? So, they did not return until Wednesday morning to replace it. Again, luckily we had a cooling alternative. The technician was professional and knowledgeable but this service company appears to be very busy and they don't work on weekends.

The first time I had called on this problem was originally called about back on May 21, 2015. It had been assigned to ERL Electric, an authorized CHW Technician. This person came and left. Of the three appliances he "attempted" to fix on that day, a total of "one" was actually repaired correctly, and that was my Washing Machine -- which I do not even think he did much with that---when I was showing him the problem with it, it seemed to be okay. The call, this time, was for my refrigerator and was the 2nd time for the same problem - as mentioned, the first Tech. was horrible and unprofessional, in my opinion.
After reaching back out to CHW, and explaining the entire situation from beginning to end, they were absolutely wonderful, and made good on their service---even though it had gone past the "Labor" warranty window. My situation was a bit "out-of-the-ordinary" and the Manager had a sense of compassion; she was a pleasure to have dealt with. She actually sent out a Tech, (right away), from Sears, who was as fantastic as anyone would ever ask for -- he went above and beyond in regard to his excellent skills, service and Customer Relations. My refrigerator has been outstanding, and it is a complete pleasure and a "sigh of relief" to be able to come home from work, and know that I don't have to throw any food out, because it has spoiled!
Choice Home Warranty gets my vote for standing behind what they sell and not only giving 100 percent to their Customers, but also stepping back and looking at the "Human" side of a situation by listening, understanding and then fixing the problem at hand. I was totally impressed by CHW, and have recommended them to everyone - Neighbors, Friends and Family. I feel very safe having this Company and their warranty in place, should anything happen to anything "major" in my home!

Woke up on Saturday without hot water. Checked the tank and it was leaking. I called the repair service, they instructed me to and was told they do not pay overtime to their providers for Saturday, Sunday or holiday services. Therefore I have been without water since. When I enrolled in the plan I was not told this. Also, after being without water 2 days, the repairman shows and tells me they will not cover the tank. They cover parts only for water tanks and due to the fact the inside container was leaking, that is not covered. I must of overlooked this when I read the policy and I think it is terrible business practice. 99% of the time when a water tank goes it is because it needs replaced and not repaired!
So I guess if I keep this plan I have to hope that things break for me Monday through Friday to accommodate CHW and not me! God forbid if my furnace breaks over a weekend! The reviews I read were positive however my first experience has been anything but! I took this plan for peace of mind and it has been nothing but frustration the past 3 days.
