    The refrigerator was making intermittent noise that became consistent over a week's time. The refrigerator continued to be operational (cooling and freezing appropriately). The service technician diagnosed and identified the problem as the (defrost timer), however advised that it could not be replaced until it goes out permanently and if he goes within 30 days, there will be no additional service charge fee, but if it goes after the 30 days, then the fee applies. That seems a bit ridiculous in that the refrigerator is obviously problematic.

    We have two central air conditioning units on our house and neither is working properly. For whatever reason, be the fact the units are 21 years old, the A coils were added when the house was built and the technicians have great difficulty accessing them, or the contractors are told not to recommend replacements, we are having great difficulty getting replacement units. We had AHS for several years prior to switching to CHW, but now we are regretting ever having a home warranty at all.

    Since starting with Choice last year they have had to send contractors to our home too many times to count. This past summer our air conditioner for both our upper and lower levels stopped blowing out the first week of June. We called and started a claim. The contractor came out and asked how old the units were. We told him 21 years and he just looked at my husband. He worked on the unit and after a few things ended up adding freon since it was very low. Not quite two weeks later we came home to no air upstairs. Called again and the same contractor came back. We refused to pay a service fee since we felt the unit couldn't have been fixed properly. This time it was low freon again. The contractor felt we had a leak in the A coil and that if a leak is found the unit should be replaced. He added more freon at no cost to us (we are now charged extra for freon since it is no longer covered).

    We thought Choice would take care of whatever needed to be done about a leak since the contractor wrote it on the invoice. About a week later we lost air again. We called in and the same contractor came back, added freon, and said we really need to get a leak test. I called Choice and told them what the contractor told us. We later received an email from Choice and they said the contractor believes we have a leak and that we are responsible for getting someone to come out and that we must pay out of pocket since leaks are not covered. They also added we will need to send them a copy of the invoice. Well, last year, when we still had AHS, after much haggling, we had the A coil replaced.

    So, we called the contractor who did the work. He said he would come out. He came and said the A coil wasn't leaking but he found another leak in the condenser coil. He wrote it up and we sent it by way of scan and email, in with his recommendation stating what the other contractor said, we needed another unit. We thought they would replace the unit since that is what they boast. Not so, after several days we get an email to call them and we are told they still can't do anything since we did not send in any pictures. I told them they never mentioned any pictures and if they had we would have had the contractor take some. We called the contractor and he suggested they are just trying to get out of replacing the unit. He said he would call them since he had already been out here (we are an hour from him) and he would explain his findings for us.

    He also added that Choice knows it will be next to impossible to get a picture of our A coil since it is in a place that requires extensive work to get to it. I gave him all of the information, phone number, claim number, and the prompt number, and after a week he was finally able to get through and spoke with Choice. We thought this should be the end of it. Not so. We received another email telling us to call in. We did and were again told they can't go any further without pictures. It was at this time we started asking if they ever approve replacements for any of their other customers and we were told yes, if the contractor recommends replacement. I reminded them that both contractors recommended replacement but they said their hands are tied since we did not supply pictures. After going on vacation and recovering from an illness I have finally been able to pick up where we left off.

    I became very frustrated after the unit stopped cooling the upstairs again and we were finally able to send in the pictures they requested, minus the A coil. They have not gotten back in touch with us after more than a week of sending in the pictures. I cannot wait to see what they demand this time. After seeing so many five star reviews, I am having difficulty believing what I am reading. I hope by writing my review and seeing it in print it will help me to believe they are recording all reviews

    Having a hard time getting someone to fix my water softener. This will be the second or third time reporting it and to date no one will come to my house. It's been over a year now and the best answer I can get is "it's cheaper to replace than it is to fix" and Home Choice won't replace without a tech coming to my house. It's the catch 22 that I'm stuck in and not happy about.

    Clearly everyone who has written a positive comment about Choice Home Warranty either does not exist or they were paid to provide a fathom compliment. If you look at the banner at the top, it mentions that CHW actually pays to be a part of this consumer review program! From Top to bottom, well actually Bottom to middle because they never let you get to the top, it is the single most horrible customer service experience of my life. However, this is the beginning of my crusade to get my daughter's claim reconsidered and honored.

    Here is our saga. At my RECOMMENDATION, she purchases a policy with CHW based on the positive reviews - turns out we should have went to Yelp or Twitter because that is where the real story lies. We jointly buy a condo. We get a home inspection to include the AC unit. It gets checked, all issues resolved, it works fine. Again, I recommend a home warranty with CHW, she PAYS for a policy on July 22 and unfortunately her AC unit fails on September 8. No problem right. It has been more than 30 days so we refer to the terms of the agreement (not) to be sure and confirm you cannot place a claim for 30 days.

    She calls and gets a claim number, repairman contacts her, comes out next day, going pretty well right? WRONG! He diagnoses a bad condenser fan motor, explains what that means, explains that it is not uncommon. He reports it to CHW, makes arrangements to return after he gets the part and then departs. Still ok, right? WRONG! He calls her back saying the claim is denied because it was an unknown preexisting condition.

    She contacts Claims at 1:22 on September 10 and spoke to someone. He explains that her claim was denied because it occurred less than 30 days after the policy was accepted and in effect. Well she purchased the policy on July 22 and the policy is accepted and in effect on August 22, what is the problem? He explains that since she placed a claim before another 30 days (September 22), it is considered pre-existing and denied. Incredulous, she asks "so if I had made this claim on the 22nd (a mere 12 days later) you would have honored it?" and the person responded yes!!!!

    I learn about this and am flabbergasted! She calls Kysha at 1:46 and wants to speak to a Supervisor. Kysha states that she is a supervisor and confirms the 30 day window. Again, 12 more days and this is OK, "yes" Kysha responds. My daughter mentions what is the point and why that additional condition isn't in the terms of agreement; she mentions that she should cancel. Keisha responds: "No problem, I can connect you to cancellations." What? This is a supervisor of claims? Aren't they supposed to keep customers?

    So now we have an arbitrary, undisclosed additional time condition and a Claims Customer Service Supervisor that does not care if you remain a customer!

    Again, we scour the terms of agreement and decide to try again; maybe Kysha was recorded and got fired for her insolence. So at 2:20, we get Andy. He was very nice and professional but he reiterates the additional 30 days and confirms that if she had waited or the incident had occurred after the 22nd, the claim would be honored.

    Now it is 93 degrees in South Carolina and she has a dog that stays at home. An arbitrary date is posed and her only recourse is to wait 12 days? Again, the 30 days is arbitrary - where did it come from. "It is what we use" is his response. Today is September 11. Since yesterday, I have personally called 3 HVAC professionals and they all respond the same. There is no way to gauge when the part can fail. If they can't do it, how can Andy.

    Today, at 2:13 we call and talk to Arkim, who is also a supervisor. I explain what we have found and we explain our contention that it is arbitrary AND NOT BASED ON ANY FACT AND FURTHERMORE IT IS NOT STIPULATED IN THE TERMS OF AGREEMENT. He apologizes, and reiterates the 30 day requirement. I explained in the beginning and at the end that I needed to talk to someone above him. He said he would put me through to a manager. So shortly after word, a male voice comes on the phone and asks in his best sultry voice "hey what's up". And now we are with Russ, the Customer Claims manager. After excusing himself for obviously mistaking me for somebody else I am guessing probably not his special treatment for a special customer, huh? We go round and round and when he interrupts me, he says I am talking over him.

    I explain the arbitrary notion that we had been told and he goes on about normal wear and tear can't be a couple of weeks so it has to be preexisting. I ask what that is based on and he states that is just how it is. He further explains to me that there is no one else to talk to he is it. No matter what I do it will come back to him and he will reject it again. I ask about the corporate office and he says he is the corporate office and that he has the full power and authority to resolve this issue but it is rejected and that will never change. When I pointed out that I find it hard to believe he is in the corporate office which his Sultry come on introduction on the phone, he responds that he gets a lot of internal calls!!! So now he is the corporate customer service guru that gets a lot of internal calls that warrant his sultry response - I hope not but I guess we will see because again, I am on a crusade.

    I am in the customer service business and I have over 54,000 customers and I am also a customer who generally understands that the person on the other phone is part of the system. However, dear sir or madam, your system is in trouble and I want you know who is representing themselves as the corporate voice for your company.

    Back to Russ, I explain the HVAC opinions and he states that "they do not know what they are talking about. They are too lazy to spend the time doing a proper analysis." Well first of all, they represent CHW but you despise them? I again question the arbitrary nature of the 30 days and he now states that the other Claims customer service supervisors are wrong and no such standard exists and they should not have said that!!! I believe we have talked to 4 of them at this point and although we vehemently disagree, they were at least consistent!!!! I ask what the standard is. Is it the two weeks he mentioned earlier and he said no and denied he ever said it!!!!!

    At one point I ask about the process and he explains that the HVAC techs (the lazy ones remember) send their diagnosis back to his internal techs and they make the determination. So now he wants me to believe that osmosis maybe- an internal person makes a decision about preexistence from the techs he does not trust and denies that the 4 customer claim supervisor know what they are talking about.

    Kysha does not care if we cancel. Russ is obviously otherwise occupied at work. They apply an arbitrary standard that is not supported by fact or even stated in the terms of agreement and that is supposed to be a satisfying customer experience? I am doubtful this will get published by consumeraffairs (not biting the hand that feeds comes to mind) but if it does, I assure this is the truth and CHW if you record your customer interactions, you know it is too. The site says there is a written claims process so I will use it too but what if Russ is the end-all be-all?? If this ends favorably, I am the first to compliment and not just complain. If not, you will see this being told many times and in many places.

    Unfortunately, we paid 3 yrs upfront for our investments properties to alleviate the headache of contacting individual technicians for any repairs. WHAT A MISTAKE! Two technicians have contacted me threatening to place a mechanics lien on our properties because CHW HAS NOT PAID THE TECHNICIAN!!! People --- If your a/c goes out, prepare yourself! They will tell you that your claim is denied due to lack of maintenance of which we have records of annual maintenance. Then they will offer you a $400 reduction to the replacement of the a/c condenser coil (which is what will probably go out). They will want you to pick up approx $400-$600 replacement costs for labor, freon, etc. AMAZING.

    Their "hold" voice over while waiting for a representative actually SAYS that CHW will replace the a/c unit if it goes out. The online verbiage says the same. So WHY must you pay $400-$600 for a replacement because THEY have decided the unit is not maintained? WHAT A FIGHT to get ANYTHING taken care of. After a battle they FINALLY did replace the unit as advertised 3 months later!!! It took me 3 months of battling and threatening. In addition, I tried to cancel my contract, but they wanted to charge me for the cost they paid out for the replacement. HA. We paid $4000 for 5 properties - 3 yr span. Keep your money.

    Our AC went out Saturday evening and we submitted a claim on Sunday, Sept 6th. A technician from H.O.T. AC replaced a starter capacitor on the outside fan motor and it worked for several hours and failed sometime late that afternoon. When we called to report that failure, I was informed that the claims office was closed for the holiday and would not be able to review/approve claims until Tuesday. On Tuesday, the technician returned and replaced the fan motor after approval was received.

    During my hold on Sunday, your advertisement spoke of our safety being your #1 concern, which I found contradictory to our situation (heat, AC problem on holiday). I shared this opinion with the gentleman handling my claim. In both instances of my calls, your staff did a very good job of handling our situation with professionalism and expediency. H.O.T. AC did a very good job of assessing and repairing our unit. I have recommended Choice Home Warranty to several other homeowners and we plan on renewing our contract.

    I called CHW to request service on my refrigerator at 8:49 p.m. on a Friday night. The next morning at 7:57 a.m., I received a call from a technician from Texas Appliance and TV Services. Initially, he said that he could not get to it until Tuesday of the following week (b/c of Labor Day). I naturally expressed my disappointment with that, considering I had already lost most everything in my refrigerator/freezer. Hearing that, the Tech, Sarom, said that he would be right over. He told me that he would be at my house between 9 and 10. He pulled into my driveway at 8:54 a.m. Can you image that? He diagnosed the problem right away and even had the replacement part on his truck. Again, can you imagine that?

    I was a customer of AHS for the better part of a decade and I can honestly say that I had never received this level of service from them... EVER! If you happen to live in the greater Houston area and have a problem with an appliance (especially a refrigerator), do yourself a favor and request Sarom ** from Texas Appliance and TV Services, you will not regret it.

The claim took about four hours for Choice Home Warranty to decline the claim. I spoke to Jessica when I was notified that I need to contact customer service. She stated that the claim was denied because we didn't have "regular maintenance to the A/C units". I stated we did and that I could send her the twice annual service records for the units. She told me I could email, but that they wouldn't look at the issue for another 24 hours. I told her that we are now without air going on five days and another day wouldn't be acceptable.

    I then requested a manager. Mesha the manager was clearly trained to handle all the denied claims. She changed the reason for declining the repair and said that the house could have experienced "a power surge... among other thing." I told her to prove that I had a power surge and she said they didn't need to prove it. In fact, she said it didn't matter that I send in the normal maintenance records.

    We signed up for Choice Home Warranty and were told by the sales person that "all components on all appliances were covered". When I received the paperwork, I noticed two things: Ice makers were not covered (which go out more often than any other component) and "high end" appliances were only covered up to $1000.00. I called back to cancel the policy since all of our appliances are GE Monogram and they stated "we will lift the cap" on the high end appliances.

    Our refrigerator started to not cool properly and we placed a call. The first technician came out to "replace the board" and needless to say that did not work. We placed another call and the second technician stated "The board was not the problem, it was a heating element that is required that keeps the condenser from freezing". Choice then stated that "the repairs are too high" and offered us $599.00 to replace the refrigerator, and keep in mind that this is a GE MONOGRAM that retails for $4400.00! I stated that if they could replace it for $599.00 I would be happy to take it, but other than that - fix what they had committed to.

    To date - no resolution. I asked to get my money back and cancel the contract and they want to SUBTRACT the service call that did not work and where the technician put in the WRONG PART.

I pay $400 per year (3 years now) and a $45 fee per each service call. CHW is supposed to cover all remaining repair costs, including replacement if needed. First, my central air unit went out. The service tech said a circuit board was bad and needed replacing. CHW called and told me if I didn't pay $150 of the $450 cost for the needed part, my ac would stay broken. Second, my bathroom pipes were leaking under my tub, into the basement. Service tech diagnosed the problem, whole plumbing system needs replacement at a cost of $1300+. As before, CHW again called me and said they would cover $500 of the repair cost. Leaving the rest of the repair cost on me. I was just speechless and feel like I been taken.

    You may have fooled me twice... You not getting a third opportunity. I phoned to cancel this so-called service, and was placed on hold for 22 minutes before I finally hung up. I submitted a cancellation notice via e-mail two days prior to this posting... Still no response. It just boggles my mind that CHW is getting all these glowing reviews.

    I'm pleased with the quick service and the professional technician who performed the service. He was here on time and explained what he was going to do. The repair could not be completed that day as a part had to be ordered. The technician called as soon as the part came in and completed the repair. I have used the service in the past and have found that the technicians dispatched have been courteous and professional.

    My washing machine stopped working and I filed my claim immediately on a Sunday evening and had a repair service contact me Monday morning to come and fix my washing machine. They showed up promptly on time, found the problem, called the Choice Home Warranty claim line and completed the repair all in less than an hour. My repaired were fully covered except the deductible. This was my second warranty repair in the last six months and both provided a great customer experience. I would recommend the Choice Home Warranty plan to all my friends and family.

    I requested a plumber to fix my leaking toilet and dripping faucets. J Squared Plumbing responded to the service call and was able to immediately fix the toilet. However, he called Choice Warranty and they refused to fix my dripping faucets... I wonder why? Therefore I am somewhat satisfied with the results as my faucets are still dripping and I am still paying Choice Warranty each and every month.

    This company is a rip-off. I have been paying for two years and when I finally have a claim, they deny it. My motor on my air conditioner went out and they denied it saying it was impacted with dirt. The tech who came to my house said it was normal wear and tear and nothing unusual. I change my air filter religiously every month and have the system serviced once a year, so I will be suing this company for reimbursement of my costs. Do not sign up with them, they don't honor their contracts.

    My AC unit started making loud noise and I secured the power. I noticed one of the three blades connected to the condenser motor was almost torn off or broken. The condenser motor seemed to be very hot. When the technician arrived he replaced the fan and the unit was still running rough - the condenser motor shaft could have been out of alignment from this damage causing the AC unit to run rough after the replacement of the fan. I authorized the technician to replace the condenser fan motor and the unit runs very smooth now.

    The home warranty representative authorized the replacement of the fan and the checking and recharging of Freon if needed. The home warranty representative would not authorize the condenser motor to be replaced. I authorized the repair technician to replace the condenser fan motor because it was not working to specification because the home warranty representative would not pay or cover this part. I feel the condenser fan motor was the root cause of this problem to my AC unit. Overall experience was good, the technician was great fixing my AC unit and I feel the warranty representative was average in his decision-making process.

    I encourage anyone to not buy a warranty with this company. I had American Home Shield for 3 years, and they were the best. I brought a plan for 3 years and paid it in full for three 3 years from Choice Warranty. I get very little customer services.... I have had two claim - one they wouldn't cover. My second claim, which was filed a week ago, they dispatched a crazy home repair person, who failed to show up, failed to communicate, and failed to meet his appointments one week later. It has been a week since my second claimed was filed. The only thing I got from Choice Warranty Services Manager, was "I will refile your claim." They are good at taking your money, but provide little follow through and timely response to problems. My washer is still broke, and I have a home warranty which is a enigma to me.
