My washer shut down on an already crazy morning. I submitted a request for repair and a tech was out that day! I was unaware that I was actually dealing with a plumbing issue and when Choice was notified of that, they had a plumbing company out the very next day. The plumbing company's service was top notch!

This was my first service call with Choice Home Warranty. I called to have a claim placed for the repair of a Whirlpool Dryer and was impressed with the timely and efficient protocol of their follow-up to the request as well as the courtesy and professionalism of the Technician sent by the Appliance Company. Thus far, I am very pleased with their response and would highly recommend Choice Home Warranty to my friends and neighbors.

We had no heat for 3 days during the coldest weather of the year. I called to report that we had no heat. I waited and asked for the names they had contacted, but was told they couldn't provide that info. Finally, we contacted a company they found. The guys from Complete Efficiency Air were wonderful, clean, polite and knowledgeable. They found a breaker inside the unit we never knew was there. Heat came back on, but quit again after about an hour. I called, and they immediately returned, only to discover the last repairman had by-passed the heat in the unit outside which ruined the computer board. When the new board arrived, they pleasantly returned and installed the board. This recommendation is lengthy, but it doesn't begin to describe our relief that we have Choice Home Warranty. I'll gladly recommend this company to anyone!

I have to admit when I signed up for Choice Home Warranty it was with a bit of trepidation.... You hear so many stories about how most of these companies are not reliable! Just this week I had an issue with my washer. Reported my washer problem to them and they immediately assigned a tech to service my washer. The tech came out, diagnosed the problem, and reported back to Choice Home Warranty.
On my way back to work from the tech checking out my washer (time frame of about 20 minutes) I received a call from Choice Home Warranty about the status of my claim. The repairs to my 10 year old washer were going to be more than the value of the machine so they told me they would be sending me a check for $300.00 toward a new washer. I made the customer service rep repeat what he said to make sure I heard him correctly!! Needless to say I am VERY HAPPY I purchased a warranty from Choice Home Warranty!

CHW sent a company out that did poor work - left me in the cold for 2 days and he ask for money out of pocket which I gave him. The company finally did an okay job but after 30 days the problem arose again. But I called them then they sent another contractor out from another company. They came out right away about 9 because I called about 6 pm Friday.. he did temporary work to get me thru til Monday. Then when Monday came he was here first thing completed the job in a timely fashion. He didn't burn me by asking for more money.

Soon after purchasing our home warranty, our built-in microwave went out. It was our first time filing a claim so we were unsure how well it would work. We submitted a claim and a local appliance company was assigned to our case. They called and set up an appointment to come fix our microwave. Choice also contacted us to verify that the local company was meeting our needs. Both companies acted professional and were easy to work with. After this experience, we will renew again.

After having this company for about 4 years and have a contractor that they sent out to check and repair our furnace about every year, our claim was denied for a replacement. I feel that we were unjustly denied especially when all the maintenance was done by their contractors. I change filters as often as needed and after calling them several times to find out that we were denied "in the middle of winter" that was very unprofessional.

I filed a claim for a leak around the toilet, which started 30 days after my start date. They approved it, sent out a plumber, and then denied coverage, saying it was a pre-existing condition. They offered to pay for 1/3 of my service call, rather than the $45 in my contract. I asked for a refund and they continued to argue with me. I got 30 days of coverage, during which time you can file no claims, and my refund was $96 less than I paid!

I have made two separate claims to repair my microwave. The second claim was addressed by a customer service employee as was the first. Both times seem to be making forward strides but the second half hopefully got my problem worked out. Today the microwave has yet to be repaired but I have high hopes that it will be within a week. My only concern is that the companies sent out to work on my machine they promises that they do not keep keeping your clients informed. There is very little more important than being kept in touch. To date my machine has been indisposed for a month and a half and as I said, I am certain it will be fixed within the next week. This is why I have given a positive experience. Hopefully, I won't be proven wrong.

The agitator in my washer stopped working and there were very thin slivers of white plastic in the drum as well as a gritty residue. The repairman who checked the washer explained what happened and indicated he had never seen anything like that before and he had been in the business for many years. The washer was a very popular top of the line washer that was 5 1/2 years old. He called Choice Warranty and explained the problem. To repair the washer would have cost more that replacing the washer; therefore, that same day, Choice approved an amount for me to replace the washer. I am very pleased with Choice Warranty and would recommend them to others.

Choice Home Warranty is a fraudulent group of thieves. The first two calls were handled well. I was pleased to experience something other than the negative reviews I read. Unfortunately, the negative reviews were correct.
The motor for my heat pump went out and broken the manifold where it had been mounted. These clowns send an inexperienced tech (mind you a third person) after saying they would send the tech who had just been here a few days before. The guy shows up and does nothing. No communications. I confront the company about their intentional practice of attempting voiding the policy so they don't have to write any big checks. The inexperienced tech comes back to my home and removes pieces of my heat pump with no authorization from me or my wife. This failure of a company takes two days to get a response and the good news is they will not cover the repair.
This company needs to be shut down. I have a $600 electric bill to pay (compared to $200) because I wasted time thinking this group of fools would do what their policy, website and customer services employs say. Fix it or replace it.
I missed work to go get the pieces of my heat pump from the tech they sent to take them. The office was a half rotten shed in a backyard. I did not get the motor. The one that was returned was not the motor that belongs with my unit but because I was at work and the tech drove off with no permission or communication, I am stuck with parts that do not go to my unit, a unit that does not work and a house to heat with two small children.
All businesses are after profit. No one wants to write big checks. I understand. Don't steal parts, don't fabricate solutions to avoid responsibilities, don't touch things that are not yours and just tell the truth. Mr. Choice Home Warranty - you chose your job. Try doing it well.

They were due to come to install today but they called to reschedule tomorrow because the tech forgot his car appointment and they prioritized his appointment over my claim. It is not what I have in mind to honor the best service. It is bit disappointed. However, he may have some reason to take care of his appointment. They promised me that they will take care of it tomorrow between 8 -12 AM. So I am expecting this... All of our food stuffs are crowded in my 2nd refrigerator and freezer and very inconvenienced...

I have been with Choice for a few years now and I can honestly say that they are prompt with taking calls for service and assigning technicians. My most recent experience surprised me, since I called before I went to work, not really expecting to talk with someone that early. When I first called, they said I would have about a 5 minute wait time, so I figured I had time to finish getting ready. Not so! My call was answered in less than a minute and my email letting me know about the technician assigned came not long after. I am happy with my experiences so far and the technicians have been friendly and professional. I also love that the fee has remained the same, especially since the last company I was with increased their fee each year! I hope to renew my plan later this month for the next year.

Upon purchasing warranty with CHW, I was told I did not have to have an inspection of any sort performed on my rental property. When I finally filed a claim with CHW, they did not want to honor our claim because they stated we failed to have a "preventative maintenance" check done on a perfectly working heating unit. Our rental home gets inspected between each tenant. You can't possibly predict when a heating or AC unit is going to give out on you especially when it's working fine. I feel like I wasted $470 on a year policy with CHW. It's the first and only claim I have made and already turned down? It was determined that they would be able to cover the repairs, etc. needed because it does fall under what is included in their policy, however at their discretion they can deny it without proof of preventative maintenance and that's exactly what they did to us.
It is not like we were negligent, it's a rental home and as most landlords know, it can be an inconvenience to any tenant. Therefore it is important to always ensure all units and appliances are working properly and that is what we always ensure is done. I think that if it was something minor, CHW wouldn't have a problem covering the claim. But because it happens to be something big and expensive, they will then pull out their "preventative maintenance" card and make us appear as if we were negligent. I am so disappointed with CHW especially after seeing so many good reviews. I was very hopeful that I might have found a company that didn't seem like they were a scam but after further research on the internet, I found other dissatisfied customers. I will not be using CHW once my policy expires and I will not recommend them to any homeowners.

JB Services came out on Saturday, checked the oven and ordered the part needed to make the repairs. He said as soon as the part came in, He would install it, probably Wednesday 3/4/15 or Thursday 3/5/15. The Gentleman with JB Services was one of the most professional people I have seen in a long time. Very polite and knew exactly what he was doing. I was very impressed with the service.

I have had the policy for about 6 months and had a few other issues that were taken care of fairly quickly, but my current heater problem they denied the claim. My heat pump stopped working and the service technician said it was due to low Freon. He said the Freon level was low due to a leak in the inside coil. He said choice would probably deny the claim due to the repair being expensive and us not having the policy for a long time. To my surprise, Choice denied the claim, said there was rust on the coil, indicating I had not properly maintained the unit.
I change the filter every 3 months to prevent the coil form getting dirty. Choice not saying the coil is dirty, they are saying it leaks because it is rusted. I do not think coils were made of steal, so I am not sure how they rust? Anyone that has the coverage or is thinking about adding it need to have their AC/ heater unit serviced twice a year, even if it's working fine, otherwise Choice will deny your claim. It's a shame I really liked the idea.

I submitted a request for repairs to CHW. They denied the claim because the tank was leaking. By the way, they do not cover leaking tanks. Their claim it was due to rust or sediment in the tank. I watched the tank being drained and there was zero evidence of either. The tank was leaking through the heating element. Their technician even made the statement we were lucky it did not trip the circuit breaker. After several attempts to get them to pay through the BBB of New Jersey, got tired of fooling with them. This company is disingenuous at best, I believe they are frauds and thieves. They have horrible reviews and grades with the BBB.

Called CHW to file a claim. I was on hold a bit longer than I thought I would be but when I did get a representative on the line they very receptive to my concerns. After just a few minutes of confirming information they processed my claim and contacted a technician to for a service call. Even though it was on the weekend the service technician called to schedule an appointment in the next week. Unfortunately, the computerized control board fried and it was more costly to replace than to buy out the equipment. It took about a week but the final result was a prorated check to replace the oven. Happily, a new product was purchased and I am very happy with the outcome.

I am a call center Supervisor myself and I have been very impressed with CHW service and customer focus. I was a bit surprised at the level of fairness and follow through, given the low price for the coverage.
Long story short, my dishwasher broke and caused my breaker to trip. The dishwasher repair company had to come out on more than one occasion and eventually it worked out that repair cost more than the unit. Originally the repair company told CHW that the issue was secondary to installation so CHW was not going to cover due to improper installation. While I understood that thought, the unit had functioned perfectly for nearly 20 years. I couldn't imagine how now suddenly installation was the issue. The CHW representative thoughtfully listened to what I said and had her manager review the claim. CHW ended up paying me money out for the unit. I didn't expect that at all, but was extremely relieved! I also should mention that in the process the repair company did not contact me in a timely manner to reschedule their visit. A CHW supervisor contacted me concerned and to discuss the claim further. I had a technician out that next day.
We bought this warranty as we are selling our home and wanted to offer it for the new homeowner. We will now use CHW for our new home purchase!

I signed up for choice home warranty because they were having a promotion and I was told that the promotion was only for a limited time, but I had 30 days to change my mind and cancel with no questions asked. In the meantime, I shopped around and found a policy that I think better suited my needs given the age of my home. I also reviewed their contract and noted that there were many exclusions that other policies did cover. I called to cancel and I was on hold for 10 minutes. Then when someone finally did get on the phone, they snapped, "What makes you want to cancel our policy?” I told them that I wasn't interested. They laughed and very patronizingly said "You don't know what you're doing. We’ll see you back in a month." I told them to cancel it, and they laughed again and told me "We canceled your policy. But you'll be back."
They did have the lowest rates out there when you factor in the service call fee, but if you look carefully at their contract, there are too many exclusions! I have also heard other people canceling their policies because they said that they had put in claims that weren't covered because of exclusions (e.g. failure of their water heater, but not covered because of sediment, i.e. lack of maintenance). But now with their extremely rude customer service, I will NEVER ever consider them again. I will not recommend them to our neighborhood association who regularly asks for feedback on home warranty companies.

On Sunday afternoon, I called Choice Home Warranty to report a water leak under my kitchen sink that has been a problem for a few months now. When I spoke with the representative, she was professional, listened to the issue I was having and provided me with the contact information of the company assigned to coming out to my home and making the repair.
On Monday morning, I called the company and they told me they would try and get someone out to my home Monday afternoon, but at the latest it would be Tuesday EOD. On Monday around 3pm, the technician arrived and within 15 minutes, he made the diagnosis that I needed a new garbage disposal (the reason the leak was happening under my sink). He had the replacement part in his truck and made the repair. In total, he was probably at my home less than 45 minutes. What would have cost me well over $200 only cost me a deductible of $45!
